This is addressed to callers who have led contra workshops at dance weekends, or people who have been involved in organizing said weekends. When you have an afternoon contra workshop what is your thoughts on having a theme for the workshop? That is you could advertise it as being "Advanced Contras", "Classic Contras", "Contras with a Difference", etc. It seems that this might let people know, to some small degree, what to expect. On the other hand there may be little or no point to it. People interested in contra dance will likely attend the workshop. Of course the caller might have a theme or at least some sort of central idea to help in selecting dances, but that may or may not be advertised. What are your thoughts on trying to come up with a theme/title for contra dance workshops? What do you see as the pros and cons? Thanks.
