Thank you for that Luke. Announcing medleys in advance also gives
some of us the option of sitting out. Not all dancers like medleys.
I am also curious as to what you mean for the "experience dancers" to
actually do when they "help out?"
I would concur with those who recommend NOT doing a contra medley at
a regular, open, public contra dance. This is a different breed of
contra that is best limited to special events.

You're right, that's not really clear.
If you were doing a medley at a dance where not everyone was
super-experienced, I would hope that the experienced dancers in the
community would ask newer folks to dance to prevent them from clumping
together.
