My advice is to call easier dances. Easy dances with great music are wonderful! You can spend less time teaching and more time dancing. See also the thread here about teen dances.

Hi All,

I've been thinking a lot about calling for beginner dancers. I've seen big
changes in the last few years where our dances now often have more than 50%
newcomers.

As a relatively new caller. I have some observations and ideas, and I'd
love perspective from people who are more experienced.

Anyway, just thinking aloud and curious what other peoples thoughts are.

Taco
