[Callers] Super easy dances - do they exist?

[Linda S. Mrosko via Callers]

If only I could "train" them, but it's a new group every year.

Reminds me of the very first year I did this -- 15+ years ago.  There was
no working sound system -- they told me they had one, so I didn't bring
mine.  The band had theirs, but the screams from the dancers quickly
drowned them out.  I resorted to hand signals only.  Turns out that was one
of the best dances we ever did.

Maybe that's the answer to my problem.
