I would be very interested in any techniques or strategies you, as
the caller, would use to achieve this behavior: "...trying to see
that less experienced/skilled dancers have a partner the can give
them a little help along on the way." I am particularly interested
in what callers do to encourage more generous partnering behaviors in
a medley. How do you achieve that "We're all in this together,"
sentiment that Larry Jennings speaks of?
