It's Back!

Square dance cultists aficionados note: "spin chain thru" has been moved from the Plus list to the Mainstream list. This after being moved from Mainstream to Plus in 2001.

Figures. Now I have to figure out where to insert it into both Mainstream classes in which I'm involved.

It does point to the dysfunction of our (shrinking) organization. Both 8 Chain Thru and Spin Chain Thru were moved to Plus several years ago in an attempt to shorten a too-long list.

Every time I read that Callerlab is redrafting the lists or some old-timer talks about how the lists are too long, I start to tune out. It simply strikes me that establishment deadwood is spending too much time rearranging the deck chairs of the Titanic rather than addressing what I think are more serious issues (dated & poor quality music, archaic dress codes, couples-only mandates, and a general unwillingness to move beyond one's immediate comfort zone).

One of my vice-presidents likes to repeat ad nauseum that change is good. The flaw in this argument however is that while improvement comes from change, not all change is improvement.

"3CT" and "SCT"?
