Hi Charlie,
Thanks for your ideas on the dance. I would like the first couple
to have more time to fool around, so the extra time won't be a
problem. By fool around i would suggest a longer gypsy, a longer
swing, or maybe some swing dance moves, whatever comes to their minds.
It is an invitation for dance creativity. Where else in life do we
get extra time with a partner? So if you'd like to call the dance,
please let folks know about the possibilities.
Thanks,
Tom
