Silly question of the day: is there some expectation/standard for what a "Trip to ..." dance contains - other than the words "Trip to" appear in the title?

Hi Don, My expectation, or assumption maybe, is that the dance was composed on the way to the place in the title or after returning from there.. I don't think there is anything expected in the choreography.. at least there isn't for me.. bill ________________________________ From: Callers <callers-bounces(a)lists.sharedweight.net> on behalf of Don Veino via Callers <callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> Sent: Thursday, June 1, 2017 7:58 PM To: Caller's discussion list Subject: [Callers] Trip to ... = ?

Perhaps you must take a "Trip to ... somewhere" and then write a dance to celebrate the fact? On Thu, Jun 1, 2017 at 3:58 PM, Don Veino via Callers < callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote:

Requirement? I don't know. All the ones I know have gents and ladies (in some order) going to the center for a long wavy line. On Thu, Jun 1, 2017 at 3:58 PM, Don Veino via Callers <callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote:

Interesting question Don! Being one of those "trip to" choreographers, I think there are a number of reasonable places to draw the reference from. Certainly the obvious one of writing it while on the way to or from the particular location. Then it might also be to commemorate or honor an individual know by their location. I wrote one, *Trip to Harlem*, named after the tune I used*, Drop Me Off in Harlem. *to honor the passing of the great Duke Ellington. I am pretty sure there is no rule about it, and I'd so feel free to travel wherever your imagination takes you.

Backstory about where you were going when you wrote the dance? Meg in Chicago On Thu, Jun 1, 2017 at 7:46 PM, Bob Green via Callers < callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote:
