Thoughts about calling dances

Included below are various handouts I use at calling workshops. Feel free to download, read, comment back. If you reuse, please give credit. They are living documents, so don't be surprised if you see changes over the years. I welcome your suggestions, ideas, and smart remarks.

Basically, though, they can be summed up in a very brief format. The secret to being a good caller:

  • Keep the dances accessible to the majority of your dancers
  • Keep the teaching and non-dancing talk short
  • Smile and emanate joy

    Everything else is fine-tuning.

    Dance long, improper!
