The book even provides 'cue card' examples for calling or prompting each dance. If you can read aloud and hear the musical beat, you can prompt the dance. The dances are designed to meet the needs of people who wish to have fun dancing without spending an extended period of time in 'lessons'. Dances are provided for all age groups from the 4th grade in elementary school to retirement communities. Teaching suggestions are included to minimize the amount of instruction needed.
People can enjoy the program year around.
They can attend as often or as infrequently as they desire. The dances can include people of all ages. Many of the dances are designed so there is no need for gender indentification. This enables leaders to provide innovative beginner dance programs of 1.5 to 2 hours or more in length using only 8 to 10 basics during any one program. The secret is providing variety by changing the music and dance formation while using the same set of terminology.
