From IAGSDC History
Jump to navigationJump to search
Specialty tips are programmed for those who share a common interest in an area outside of square dancing, or who like a specialized type of calling. Sometimes referred to as 'affinity tips'.
Some common themes involve:
- age (under 30/35, Millenial, Red Hats, Sexy@60)
- body characteristics (bear, height (short, tall))
- challenges (dance by definition, hot hash, take no prisoners)
- clothing (kilt, leather, pajamas, tie-dyed, underpants) or lack thereof (Moonshine)
- ethnicity (latin, pacific rim, people of color,... Canadian)
- formations (hexagons, rectangles)
- hair (long, silver)
- music style (pop, disco, salsa, yodel)
- status (married, medallion. new convention attendee)
