Thanks Rich -
I have a similar category system now and I am trying to be able to find dances with
similar elements so that, like you said, it would be easier to find dances with specific
elements.
I have been using Callers Companion to program and like it, but find that I like to see my
dance cards and look through dances with the same “types” of moves… that is why I am
trying to decide how to go in that direction…
Will let you know what I come up with…..

I have 4 categorizes for my dances in my card box.:
1. Easy contras
2. Medium difficulty contras
3. Hardest contras.
4. Triplets, circles, scatter mixers, etc.
Each dance clearly states the type: proper, improper, becket, etc. at the top of the
card.
The thing that I can't do, but sometimes might like to do is to search for dances with
particular calls such as hey, petronella turn, etc. That might be easier if I kept my
dances on a tablet.
As I plan for a dance, I will go through each stack and pick out the dances of that type
that I might like to call. And depending on the crowd, I can easily adjust the difficulty
level up or down during the dance.

I am at the point that I want to reorganize my dance box to be able to better program an
evening. I plan to go to “categories of dance features”, and have listed what I am
thinking for possible categories below.
I am wondering how others organize their boxes - if categories, what do you include ? Do
you file Becket and/or Double Progression separately from “dance categories”, or just note
on card ?
Or do you have another suggestion ?
Possible Categories:
Easy and ONS Contras
California Twirl
Full Hey
1/2 Hey
Down the Hall
Petronella
Mad Robin
Short Wavy Lines
Long Wavy Lines
Zig Zag
Balance the Ring
Box The Gnat
? Four Facing Four
? Becket
? Double Progression
? Unique (e.g. Wizards Walk)
Appreciate your suggestions !! Thanks - Cheryl
