I called in Putney, VT this past Saturday, for 25-30 dancers, including small children and many new dancers. I intentionally programmed the evening so I never had to teach roles at all. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was to skip a bunch of talking about who is on the Left and who is on the Right.

I recognize that if those new dancers go to Greenfield MA, they will have to learn one more thing. But I think they'll be well prepared because they have already experienced dancing to music, progression, and having fun with other humans.

Here's my program. Family dance for the first hour, Teens and adults for the second hour.

1. White Mountain Reel
2. Chimes of Dunkirk
3. Anything Goes
4. Kingston Flyer
5. Beaumont Boom
6. Haste to the Wedding

Break

7. Redwing Square
8. Family Contra
9. Dog Branch Reel
10. On the Ball
11. Star Trek Phraser
