I enjoy mixers as well. But IMHO the majority of mixers don't appeal to the MUC dancers mostly because nearly 1/2 of the dance consist of into middle (repeat), circle R and L. I love "Love and Kisses" by Ted Sannella but I find that it doesn't get the dancers "mixed up" enough around the circle. Lucky Seven is better for moving folks around the circle quickly and meeting new dancers. I wonder if any of you would like to share your favorite mixers and perhaps we can build our repertoires?!

I love dancing them and I always include a mixer when I call a dance, generally in about that position others have identified, third dance from the top. I have not noticed my community balking at dancing them, perhaps because it seems normal to us. Many of our home and visiting callers do these dances as part of the program. I also very much appreciate the points made by other callers in this thread on the topic.
