"Wander Rings" was a tough teach. I tried giving a target position for the first half of the promenade by having women trade places and all face the next, but that didn't work well. People expected to face the same couple. It also didn't help that about half the dancers wandered in from the break room throughout the walkthroughs. The dance did smooth out nicely once the music started, but it was rough going. Next time I stick with a demo.
"A Grand Day Out" was also a bit of a mistake, in that it was a bit too challenging for the time slot. I could never completely drop out of the calling.
