Some of my favorite quotes:

"Intensity in 10 cities" REO Speedwagon

Webster's Definition:
1: the quality or state of being intense ; especially : extreme degree of strength, force, energy, or feeling

2: the magnitude of a quantity (as force or energy) per unit (as of area, charge, mass, or time)

3: saturation

Here are my thoughts on Intensity:

Many things at a typical dance can have positive or negative impacts on intensity. This is not some magic trick that will fix all calling situations. It is something that some of the most talented performers (callers) do to enhance what they already do. By varying the elements of choreography, music, enthusiasm, and level you can make the dance have a greater feeling of excitement.

PowerPoint show coming soon! The PowerPoint will explain "peaks" and "valleys" and the impact of built in "valleys" and how to deal with them.
