Kalia: 

I usually reserve my NWT til the end of the night but I can see the value in calling one after announcements. I might do that next time. I agree that announcements often are long and dancers wanna dance! 

I like the Nils Fredland approach to the NWT "walk-through". "Face your N. Do we need to walk that through a second time?"

My NWT choices are simply those that have clean and clear starts and finishes for each figure that require very little brain power even for first-timers. All the figures have occurred at least twice in earlier dances that evening. Low piece count.
