My "Fun Dance for Marjorie" (written with Linda Leslie), "Marjorie's Delight", and others were written to assist a female dancer who faces some mobility and fatigue issues on the dance floor. These dances are intended to be enjoyable for either role, but when there's any real effort to be expended it's the gent who does it, and there are built-in rest stops to accommodate the lady. This can be construed as the men "doing most of the work" or "having most of the fun", depending upon an individual female dancer's energy levels. When creating an evening's dance program, consideration should be given to varying the physical effort expended by either role, so that it more or less balances out in the end. ...
