I usually talk to the band before the dance starts about signals and who to
direct them to. The most common for slowing the tempo is slowly lowering my
flat hand, palm down, while mouthing 'slower' but I'll do whatever the band
leader wants.

I don't tell the band what tempo to use for most dances since it
might depend on the tune, but if it looks like the dancers are
rushing to get to the next move, I'd signal the band to slow down a
tad. I've never gotten tired or winded doing 3/33/33 and I'm not
exactly in prime athletic condition, so that might have been a
fluke.
How do you signal the band to change tempo?
