The reply usually is something like, "no, <br>> the dance was fine (or even great), we just head for our next <br>> partner..." I know sometimes it's just the night. Sometimes, though, <br>> it's the community's habit. I spoke with a renowned musician the other <br>> day, who will no longer play for a certain series. One of the reasons: <br>> lack of applause -- lack of that palpable sense of appreciation.<br>> <br>> I think dancers don't often know that applause really makes the band and <br>> caller feel better. If they feel better they play better. And, as a <br>> dancer, applause usually makes me feel better, too. Any ideas on how to <br>> encourage applause? Or, if you're in one of those communities where <br>> applause is minimal, does it bother you?<br>> <br>> ~erik hoffman<br>> oakland, ca<br>> <br>> <br>> ------------------------------------<br>> <br>> ------------------------------------<br>> <br>> The Traditional Dance Callers List: Subscribe by sending a blank e-mail message (no subject, no message) to: <a href="mailto:trad-dance-callers-subscribe@yahoogroups.com">trad-dance-callers-subscribe@yahoogroups.com</a><br>> ------------------------------------<br>> <br>> Yahoo Groups Links<br>> <br>> <*> To visit your group on the web, go to:<br>> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/trad-dance-callers/">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/trad-dance-callers/</a><br>> <br>> <*> Your email settings:<br>> Individual Email | Traditional<br>> <br>> <*> To change settings online go to:<br>> <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/trad-dance-callers/join">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/trad-dance-callers/join</a><br>> (Yahoo!
