One of the many advantages to Caller's Companion, or the use of the grid developed by Larry Jennings, is to help avoid repetitious moves. Using this feature has helped in my program planning!

Lately, I've been programming specifically to avoid having a circle in each dance. It's surprisingly difficult to find dances that don't have circles.
