The good thing about having this many regular local dances is that
there are lots of opportunities for new callers, or callers
branching out into different styles like I did. But the down side
is that you have to be careful with schedule management. It's a
learning process :>)
Speaking as someone in the same geographic area, I do not find this setup
particularly congenial to new callers. I'm not really up for an extended
discussion of why I feel that way, but I didn't feel like letting this
sit unanswered, either.
