I know this has been covered before (I've searched the archives) but I
figured others might want new ideas for programming dances for this weekend.
I'm calling a dance on Saturday 2/13 with a Valentine's Day theme.
Thus far, I've come up with the following ideas (not in program order yet)
Bob's Valentine - Chris Ricciotti
Gypsy 'Round Two - Tom Hinds
Pam's Clock-wise Valentine (2.5) - Seth Tepfer
Love Sting - Rick Mohr
Heart of Glass - Cary Ravitz
Spring Dance Romance - Dean Snipes
The Tease - Tom Hinds
Also thinking about:
The Country of Marriage - Susan Kevra
The Rendezvous - Dan Pearl
Caught in the Act - Donna McAllister
The Valentine's Day Massacre - Colin Hume (circle mixer, not sure about
the clap "massacre" progression)
Other ideas? Any dances with titles including "cupid" "arrow" or
"chocolate"?
I keep finding dances that are heavy on gypsy's, unequal, or have lines of
4 down the hall and I don't want to make my program too heavy on any of
those.
Also, I've had a request (from the band) for a dance that begins A1 with
Petronella-style balance and spins. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

And "Young at Heart" by Steve Zakon-Anderson is a great dance, a
classic, solid dance in my repertoire.

OK one more and I'm done....for now. I wrote this dance a while back
"Stars in our Eyes" becket, double progression
A1 On the left diagonal, lines go forward and back (face a new couple)
Ladies chain
A2 Star left once around, look for a new neighbor and swing
B1 Gents alle left 1 and 1/2, pick up your pt. for a star promenade
and a butterfly twirl
B2 Ladies gypsy
Pt. swing
Jo Mortland and I turned this one into a crooked contra ( I guess you
call it that....one with a C part)
"48 Stars"
A1-B1 Same as above
B2 Hey for 4
C1 Pt. balance and swing
C2 Long lines F&B
Circle left once around
If any of you try either of these let me know (and Jo too) what you
think.
Thanks!
