You did understand that I thought the visiting caller should "pay less"
(down to and including nothing) and not that the caller for the evening
should be "paid less."
...in case it's me you're talking to.
My point was that a caller willing to spend time learning is a valuable
person to the community at large, and that while I agree "in general" with
everyone who feels he/she should pay, I think there's an argument to be made
to let the "learner" in for less (or for free) if they are there to take
notes and not dance.

If I'm calling, I'm an essential part of the event, and the organizers have
to pay me too. Anyone partaking should bear some of the overhead of the
event, with an exception for non-dancing children (IMHO).

Hi all,
I have been wondering about something lately and wanted to know what
others think, and what's usual and customary in your experience as callers
learning from other callers.
Say, for example, that I want to learn from another caller and go to a
dance specifically and particularly to observe what he/she does. I am
simply going to sit on the side of the hall and take it all in. Do I have
to pay admission for that dance since I am not dancing? Why or why not?
Curiously yours,
Chrissy
