There are hundreds of dances.

Seems like a lot, 200 dances a year, on average 4 new dances each week.

How many can you possibly do in your group?

If the average dance is 3 minutes and if you dance for two hours straight, that is about 40 dances a night.

Your repetoire might be something like this:

- 10 dances you are learning and reviewing that you do each week

- 10 out of 20 favorites that you do every other week

- 20 out of 220 that are part of your rotation and do about once every three months

That gives you about 250 dances in your group's repetoire.

Lets say 20% of your dances are older than ten years, which would be 50 dances. That leaves 200 dances from the most recent ten
years or 20 dances per year.

Therefore you can learn about two new dances a month.
