Useful detail

Performance tip

Review the dance-name sequence before performing. Leave space for the “na-na” responses and use them as breathing points instead of rushing the list.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Reach for “Land of 1000 Dances” if you want the audience moving and can keep a sequence of short calls organized. The dance list can become breathless if rushed. Leave it for another night if the room will not participate.
