We've occasionally asked the caller to announce before the break that the first contra after the break will be a "No Walk Through." We leave it up to the caller's discretion, if he thinks there are enough "good" dancers and few enough newbies.
It's never exactly a challenging dance, but it is a perk for the experienced dancers to not have to teach that one to newbie partners and neighbors. We chose after the break because the newbies can still get a few more of the goodies while watching, and even add it if they think they can do it after watching. It was a long long board meeting to come up with something that satisfied all the concerns. Downside is that some newbies go home, but that happens anyway with a Thursday dance from 8-11pm.
