Don,
In my experience with technos, the biggest factors are:
- people can't see as well, and dances are often more crowded, so stuff
with higher collision potential are out. Orbits, pousettes, star promenadrs
... Caution!
- you draw a slightly different demographic, often newer dancers, so the
overall difficulty is lower and you're calling longer
- people get lost easier with less lighting, louder music, music whose
phrasing may not be as clear, and the trancey nature of it. Again, calling
longer.
- Matching balances can be a lot easier or harder, greatly varying on the
songs.
Good luck and have fun!

Have my first gig for a Techno contra coming up next

band about dances selection and am culling through my cards for suitable
dances now.
Do you have any favorite easy-to-remember (not necessarily easy to call)
dances that are interesting yet support dropping out on calls quickly?
Thanks,
Don
