And my 16th c. beginners class too.  I'm pretty much willing to teach 
anything I know or can reasonably learn between then and now, but I DO 
need to know SOON what those dances should be so that I can prepare 
handouts.  One thing that I think is a very bad idea is to not have any idea 
what the 16th c. ball dances will be until the very last minute because then 
those of us who plan our classes in advance will be put in the awkward 
position of going ahead with what we have prepared (which will not be 
danced) or having a less well prepared course than we would like, 
potentially without handouts (which I consider essential).

I believe I privately e-mailed Greg a list of likely candidates for inclusion 
on 
the ball list based on my own experiences at previous pennsics, in the 
middle, in calontir, in the east, and in atlantia and I can try to recreate it 
if 
other folks think its a good idea to do a group brainstorming session on 
the list.
