[Callers] Brain dead

Each year for the past four years I have called a dance for adult attendees, and a few family members, at an adult chamber music camp. Some campers also play the tunes, all selected to be AABB and with B part contrasting with A part. I have never had a roomful of people who needed less coaching on dancing with the structure of the tune. I bet that was pretty true when they were kids, too.
