As a long time dancer and a teacher and with a wife who is relatively new to SCD I agree most heartily that "away events" should be for fun and /or skill development. The best workshops I've attended were those that improved skills and gave new/fresh insight into dancing and technique rather than experiences of "dance collecting". The best social events or balls were those that were fun with a bit of challenge but NOT a string of arcane or "hotshot" dances especially those that require "rehearsal" Kirk Bachler Twin Cities Branch ,Minneapolis,Mn We have met the enemy and he is us!
