The San Antonio dance group had a blind dancer. Everyone in the community
helped her along. But Seth T's observation held here too. She didn't
function as well doing non-touching moves, but the other dancers made them
touching moves. It was a joy to watch, and to dance with her.

So, this begged the question: do I keep calling
to help her out (one
person), or do I let her fumble and let some help out. After
experimenting some more (calling thinly and watching her. I stopped
calling once and she ended up in a completely different hands 4 group
for the P Bal & Swg no where near her P), I finally figured out what
was happening! The woman was blind! Or, at least hard of seeing.
A caller friend was at the top of the set ³Hey² I asked my friend ³is
that woman over there blind?²,. ³yeah², he said, quite non-chalantly,
no big- deal.
While I have no experience with this, it surprises me... I would have
expected the blind person to learn the dance faster than the regular
dancers! Has anyone else had experience with blind dancers?
