[Callers] Strategies for changing skill levels

I had the pleasure of touring interstate on the weekend and calling for a dance workshop and dance. I worked out the programs on the assumption that the overall skill level would probably be lower in the evening dance than the workshop. (The Saturday night phenomenon). So, having survived by adapting the program to err on the side of easier dances, after a group of about 8 total beginners arrived part way into the dance, I am keen to hear other people's ideas on dealing with this.
