Re: [Callers] How do you organize your Dance Card Boxes ? Categories or Other Suggestions ?

As you know, contra dancers on this side of the pond have little or no patience for dances without at least a partner swing. In fact I hear complaints if there are too many dances in an evening that don't also include a neighbor swing. Dances like Illegal in Most States, with a neighbor,

Re: [Callers] How do you organize your Dance Card Boxes ? Categories or Other Suggestions ?

My organization is somewhat idiosyncratic in that aspect. I organize by the move that I most associate with that particular dance. When I call that dance, what is generally the key thing that I went to it for? It works sometimes better than others, and I definitely need to split out "smooth"

Re: [Callers] How do you organize your Dance Card Boxes ? Categories or Other Suggestions ?

Those of you who organize your cards by categories, what do you do when a dance falls across 2 or more categories? Do you have multiple cards? Seems like that would get bulky in a hurry (I'm remembering Becky Hill's suitcase full of cards). Kalia On 4/8/2017 8:36 AM, Joy Greenwolfe via

Thanks Rich - I have a similar category system now and I am trying to be able to find dances with similar elements so that, like you said, it would be easier to find dances with specific elements. I have been using Callers Companion to program and like it, but find that I like to see my

Re: [Callers] How do you organize your Dance Card Boxes ? Categories or Other Suggestions ?

I have 4 categorizes for my dances in my card box.: 1. Easy contras 2. Medium difficulty contras 3. Hardest contras. 4. Triplets, circles, scatter mixers, etc. Each dance clearly states the type: proper, improper, becket, etc. at the top of the card. The thing that I can't do, but sometimes
