I love mixers! I love dancing them and I always include a mixer when I call a dance, generally in about that position others have identified, third dance from the top. I have not noticed my community balking at dancing them, perhaps because it seems normal to us. Many of our home and visiting callers do these dances as part of the program. I also very much appreciate the points made by other callers in this thread on the topic. Cheers, Maura, Ottawa, Ontario
