Rich,
I avoid many of the pit falls by not calling an "all modern" program
(though I do not know to what venue, dance crowd you call for.)
I like to mix in older unequal dances, Proper, Chestnuts, Classics
Shadracks Delight
Chorus Jig
Nantucket Sleighride
Becket Reel
to name a few.
(Lately I have become bored with dances that feel the same,
Partner swing, Neighbor Swing, Chain, Hay)
Check out some of the older tried and trues, You may be surprised!
