I love mixers! I love dancing them and I always include a mixer when I call
a dance, generally in about that position others have identified, third
dance from the top. I have not noticed my community balking at dancing
them, perhaps because it seems normal to us. Many of our home and visiting
callers do these dances as part of the program. I also very much appreciate
the points made by other callers in this thread on the topic.
Cheers,
