Re: [Callers] Circle & pass through as the last move of a dance

Donna wrote: I agree wholeheartedly and would not suggest that the regulars speak at all during a walk-through. The only exception to that might be when a caller is doing such a poor job that confusion is spreading wildly through the hall. Sometimes it is necessary to clarify something when the caller makes a serious error and does not realize it. Otherwise some dancers may think that the confusion is *their *fault. That would be bad. The vast majority of the teaching that takes place in the dance hall is non-verbal. As the only person in the hall with a microphone it is very important that the caller realize that fact. Talking on mike is often much more disruptive than talking in the dance line. - Greg McKenzie West Coast, USA
