Four dances immediately come to mind: * Alice (possibly changing the B 5-8 from single file circle CW to circle L 1x) * A Dance for Mars * Knole Park * Pebbles I've done some no-walk-thru dance workshops at camps. If I get time (or others don't beat me to it), I'll list some of the selections from those.

The first time I tried doing a NWT in that slot, it got a great response. So for those of you who call no-walk-through dances, do you have any particular favorites? I'd love to add a few more good candidates to my collection.

Kalia, I often call a NWT dance at that same point.. The dancers are all "wiggly" and just don't want to hear someone else (the caller) talk to (at) them.. At this point I just call something totally easy, and a dance that has both a partner and neighbor balance and swing - take your pick - I often use David Kaynor's "Baby Rose".. Another good spot for a NWT dance is when the previous dance was maybe a little too difficult for the crowd and things broke down or at least didn't go smoothly.. At this point I want to get dancers dancing right away so they aren't thinking about the previous dance any more. bill ________________________________ From: Callers &lt;callers-bounces(a)lists.sharedweight.net&gt; on behalf of Kalia Kliban via Callers &lt;callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net&gt; Sent: Friday, January 13, 2017 4:44 AM To: Caller's discussion list Subject: [Callers] Favorite NWT dances Hi all There's often a long announcement segment toward the end of the first half at many of our local dances, and I've been figuring that after all that talk, folks just want to dance.
