[Callers] ideas for callers about sidelines

Have you as a caller or organizer had particular success in helping people to find partners, especially when there is gender imbalance? I welcome comments about the issue of making sure all are having equal opportunity to dance. I recently received a message from our contra dance board asking callers for suggestions on this issue. I believe that the organizers are addressing this issue because we have had dancers leave after not being able to find partners. I will be sharing your comments with our board and they will share these thoughts with callers as they are hired to call a dance. Thank you! Jill Allen Lawrence, KS
