[Callers] New dance?

[Ron Blechner via Callers]

I have another question to pose:

Is there precedent for naming a dance after a politician?

While I may have voted for Bernie, I'm careful to not inject my political
view into my calling / choreography. (Though, on the other hand, if Bernie
doesn't win the nomination, in 5 years dancers will just hear "feel the
burn".)

In Dance,
Ron Blechner
