Eric:    Not all dancers enjoy dancing or skilled enough to dance both roles.   Dancers should not have to resort to such subterfuge to avoid unpleasantness perpetrated by an insensitive caller.

I like that.  A related tactic is to swap roles with your partner (thereby swapping shadows).  And you get to dance both roles, which makes you a better and more enjoyable dancer.

If you want to call a dance with a shadow swing, how about save it for time when you can have several shorter sets, and remind couples they can join other sets when they reach the top or the bottom, to get an opportunity to dance with a bigger variety of people. (And of course remind dancers they may have the surprise of a new shadow.)
