Some don't see any issue with them. This is NOT the conversation I want to have in this thread; <b>I ask that you respond to the question I'm asking and do not debate my premise--at least not in this particular thread. </b>This should help keep this thread on track and hopefully reduce excess noise and go-nowhere discussions on this listserv. Thanks!</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Anyway, the actual question I wanted to ask (whew!)--</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>There do exist some really fabulous shadow-swing dances that I would love to be able to call, as long as I could do so without putting anyone in an uncomfortable position. Do folks have ideas for ways to mitigate the potential harms of shadow swing dances? I was considering, at the beginning of the dance, having dancers identify their shadow and mentioning, "this will be a shadow swing dance, so if you need to make any changes, do so now" (or something like that)--haven't gotten the wording down-pat, but the idea is giving dancers advance warning of a shadow swing so they can move (thereby changing their shadow) if they need to. Any thoughts on this method? Suggestions of others?</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Cheers.</div><div>Maia</div></div></div><br clear="none">_______________________________________________<br clear="none">Callers mailing list<br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:Callers@lists.sharedweight.net" target="_blank" href="mailto:Callers@lists.sharedweight.net">Callers@lists.sharedweight.net</a><br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net">http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net</a><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div></div> </div> </div> </div><div><br clear="none"></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br clear="none"></div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="yqt3227437906" id="yqtfd33636">_______________________________________________<br clear="none">Callers mailing list<br clear="none"><a shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:Callers@lists.sharedweight.net" href="mailto:Callers@lists.sharedweight.net">Callers@lists.sharedweight.net</a><br clear="none"><a shape="rect" href="http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net" target="_blank">http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net</a><br clear="none"></div><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
