Re: [Callers] insurance [was "Wax, Dancer Safety and a Caller's Throat"]

Hi Ricky, Dance wax makes the floor SLIPPERY! It was used in once in a hall we danced at (at a College - they waxed it for something they were doing, but we were told it was dance wax). It was so slippery that I had to dance barefoot for the next six months to keep my feet from flying out from under me even just during an energetic swing! That was years ago and people still talk about remembering how awfully slippery that floor was for so long. -cynthia -----Original Message----- From: callers-bounces(a)sharedweight.net [mailto:callers-bounces@sharedweight.net] On Behalf Of David Millstone Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2007 9:18 AM To: callers(a)sharedweight.net Subject: Re: [Callers] insurance [was "Wax,Dancer Safety and a Caller's Throat"] I'm sorry to hear of this accident, Rickey, and hope that the injured dancer is going to be okay. I cannot speak to the other questions you raise, but I will use your unfortunate incident as an opportunity to encourage callers to carry liability insurance. Caller's liability insurance offers some protection in case you get sued as the result of an accident. (It is also increasinly necessary to show such coverage as a condition of renting many halls.) It is available at minimal cost through Callerlab, the national association of square dance callers, and members of the Lloyd Shaw Foundation and/or Country Dance and Song Society are eligible to purchase it. You can find an overview of the CDSS arrangements here; http://www.cdss.org/membership.html#membcallerlab For CDSS, contact Caroline Batson (office(a)cdss.org) for more information.
