stampede vs. genteel reordering
March 6, 2006, 5:52 a.m. (Message 44504)
More sensible comments (below) from Sylvia! I've been dancing for decades,
and I am trying to remember a dance, a simple monthly dance with recorded music
or a much grander ball with musicians, whereïn consistently throughout the
whole evening the entire floor was cleared (to where?) between dances. I'm not
certain that I am even able to recall any such thing in its extreme. I can
well imagine the scenario described by Sylvia (below), for which many seem to be
wishing, creating much more of a not-so-elegant stampede at the announcement
of the next dance than the calm and genteel thanking of one's partner for the
dance just finished, then either locating a prebooked partner or asking
someone within sight spontaneously for the next one, and reorganizing without great
rush into new sets.
