This also reminds me that I meant to say that in our experience with demonstrations, the music you use is often at least as important to non-dancing spectators as the dances you do, particularly at Scottish games, e.g., where you don't have a captive audience and are competing with pipes, heavy athletics, reenactors and whatever for their attention. A good rousing recording (assuming you don't use musicians) will help pull people in and keep them interested. -Steve
