Congratulations to all of you who helped with the calling Sat evening - it was a very enjoyable dance and everyone I tlaked to was very complimentary of the callers.
We should do this once in a while - maybe twice a year would be good. In between - you alre all welcome to call a dance at our weekly events. Local callers are pretty open to providing one slot in the evening and will probably even help pick a dance and provide other guideance. Just contct one of them a week or two before the dance.
There was some discussion of doing your own programming next time. That would be a very nice learning experience. Talk to other callers about how they approach programming - everyone has their own style. You can come up with a format for an eveing and probably even individual preferences for each of you. Once you have your plan - start looking for dances that fit and assign them to the callers.
There was a inquiry about a source for assigning difficulty to dances. Even if you find such a list - don't give it too much credibility. Talk about what makes dances hard, easy, fun, boring, etc. There are lots of factors. There is a discussion going on the callers group right now - and one post offered the theory that it is not really about hard and easy, but more about how well it is taught.
Don't get too academic with this - it still has to be fun.
