Hello all!
I'm calling a delightful small-town dance here in Melrose, Florida this
Friday...which is Friday the 13th, and also a full moon.
I love using theme opportunities to collect new dances! Anyone have any
ideas?
Off the top of my head, I'll probably need to look into Mirror Mirror (Jim
Kitch, I believe) and Cats and More Cats (Melanie Axel-Lute). I wonder if I
could convince the band to play Stevie Wonder? 😉
Thanks!

Dead Cat Bounce by Nathaniel Jack or Double Cat Bounce by Chris Page.
Evil Duane by Erik Weberg. Hocus Pocus by Lisa Greenleaf. Snake Oil
Reel by Roger Diggle. Lucky 7 mixer. Some of these are just
generically spooky, but they might fill a useful niche. Can't wait to
hear what the eventual program is!

Another thing that can be done, if you don’t want to just choose dances based on their
names, is play with the names of the dances you do choose. Nice Tomb-ination. Monday
Nightmare in Ballard. Be creative.

I enjoy this process, too. I like to toss in an opposite one. For example,
I called a first day of spring dance once and had a few spring-themed
dances, but I added in a winter-themed one, too, just for the laughs.
