I don't remember who coined it, but I like the line "how about some lively applause for these live musicians" as a gentle reminder to appreciate the musicians if the applause is a little lackluster.

Hi Shared Weight,

I'd like to hear some examples of things you as a caller (or you as an organizer encouraging callers) say on the mic during a dance to promote positive dance values.

I ask because I'm reviewing my own dance's "calling our dance" communication with callers, as well as evaluating my own statements on mic.

I'll get us started.

I like to say, a couple times per evening, for dancers to look to the sidelines for dancers who were sitting out, in considering a partner.

In dance,
Ron Blechner
