  Hi all,
 
 This is actually two separate questions.  First:  Does anyone have the dance
 called "Dead Cat Bounce" (or something like that)?  Second:  There is a
 category of dances that is common at contra dances now that might be called
 mellow dances.  I mean the ones often done to smooth, slinky music.  They
 tend to be quiet and smooth.  Mostly I am interested in when you schedule
 these in an evening.  Assume that dancers are mostly experienced.  If you
 have some dances like this to share I, of course would love to see them and
 if you have good mellow tunes to suggest, that would be great, but mostly I
 am curious how you approach scheduling them into the evening.  Finally,
 barring naming specific tunes, what do you say to the musicians, old or
 young, so that they know what you want?
 
 That's a lot of questions, so thanks in advance.
 
 Rickey Holt.
