Some of the CDSS dance camps include week-long calling
classes. There is
also good information in "Zesty Contras" and Tony Parkes' book
"Contra
Dance Calling: A Basic Text."

Long time dancer, first time caller.
Anyone know of any courses / workshops to improve my calling (in person
or
online)? I'm willing to travel for the right course. (E.g. Meet Me in
St Louis had a calling workshop in 2024, but the schedule isn't out yet for
2025.)
My wife and I were long-time Boston-area contra dancers who are now
trying to
bring the tradition to our adopted city in Austria. Almost all
the dancers are new, I'm a new caller, and I believe it would help me to
attend a class to learn more and get feedback on my technique.
Thanks,
Brian
