So, this begged the question: do I keep calling to
help her out (one
person), or do I let her fumble and let some help out…. After
experimenting some more (calling thinly and watching her…. I stopped
calling once and she ended up in a completely different hands 4 group
for the P Bal & Swg no where near her P), I finally figured out what
was happening! The woman was blind! Or, at least hard of seeing….
A caller friend was at the top of the set “Hey” I asked my friend “is
that woman over there blind?”,…. “yeah”, he said, quite non-chalantly,
no big- deal….
While I have no experience with this, it surprises me... I would have
expected the blind person to learn the dance faster than the regular
dancers! Has anyone else had experience with blind dancers?
