Re: [Callers] Firedancing/ Hooping while calling and other possible future Burning Man innovations

Jeff wrote: There are calls, prompts, and cues. I use "calls" to refer to words that can instruct everyone during the first walk-through. (Others might call this "instructions.") Prompts are what you give out when the music starts. Cues are what the dancers use to help them remember what the figures are after the prompts stop. Cues can be music, examples by other dancers around them, eye contact, or other leads from surrounding dancers. They can also be lights. Lights, however, cannot instruct even the regular dancers what the figures are. To keep the dance form open to the general public we will need some kind of instructive calls to start. - Greg McKenzie
