Re: [Callers] What makes a program varied, how important is that

Hi Callers, I have asked this question before and still I do not understand this.  I suspect that it will take thinking about it several more times before I do. Here is my question.  What makes  a program varied and how important is that.  Let me say that I am thinking of this in situations where most of the dancers are experienced.  I have had programs like this before and someday mean to pay attention to this at dance evenings I have enjoyed.  I have a program in mind which I list below, that I know has 7 dances with a ladies chains in it, six of them in a row.  I know this because I am the proud and happy owner of Will Loving's program "The Caller's Companion".  Yet the evening's program seems very varied to me. If the "hooks" or the mood of the dances, for instance, are sufficiently different is that what matters.  In terms of variety versus too much repetition, how does this look to you.  It does not strike me as a boring program at all.  The proposed program is: Scout House Reel, Rod's Grits, MAD About Dancing, Ease About Mixer, A Question of Balance, Zombies of Sugar Hill, [BREAK], Roll Eleven, Laura's Zig Zag, Snowshoe, Shipping and Receiving, Fan in the Doorway, and Sleepwalking I am interested in your thoughts, Rickey Holt, Fremont, NH _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)sharedweight.net http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)sharedweight.net http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers
