Becky Nankivell said, <snip> Depending on the event, the length scheduled, and the<BR>crowd, you could conceivably announce and establish at the start that<BR>there will be short sets of ~2-3 dances with breaks between, so they<BR>know that they'll have the breaks coming. >snip> That makes so much sense! Of course folks are more likely to fully stick around & participate when they know roughly what's coming - in this case, the breaks. It's the same with any kind of teaching. I'll do that in future. Thank you. Tina
