Re: [Callers] Request about requests

I frequently solicit requests - sometimes for a week or so before I call - sometimes near the end of the first half - before the break I ask for suggestions for the second half.  I like to have the dancers feel they have a say in what is presented.  If I ask far enough in advance - I will get a couple suggestions.  During an evening that rarely happens.  Sometime I will notice a dancer in the hall that has previously asked for a specific dance - so I will substitute that in (especially if it is one I like calling). If asked - I always try to honor requests and acknowledge the requester - unless there is a really good reason why I can't.

That is, at an event when a dancer or an organizer comes up to the stage and asks you to do a particular dance or type of dance? -Chris Page San Diego _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)sharedweight.net http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers
