I am curious about the phenomenon that Jeff refers to in this
sentence. I've never danced at, or called, or even heard about a
dance where the caller could "just wait for people to get into
position."
Sorry, you're right. I wasn't rememebring well. I should have said
"wait for people, and then when they're mostly ready say 'hands four'
a few times". The point is that usually the dancers don't need to be
instructed in how to get into position, just prompted to actually do
it.
