And if you perceive that your group is receptive, and not wedded to hard-and-fast expectations, and you have a band that can play the tune for "Money Musk" or play marches for "British Sorrow," you'll be surprised to find that a) half the dancers will thank you for calling an old traditional triple minor contra dance, b) the other half will thank you for inventing a new, unique, and ultra-modern style of contra dance, and c) these dances are so much fun that some dancers may not even notice that there is no swing in either dance.
Thank you Bob for reminding me that it is not necessary to tell the dancers that a particular dance is traditional. That could entirely change the way some perceive it.
