As a caller I try to include something in my beginners' sessions that tells people how to quickly refuse a dance without giving a reason. 

Seattle-area caller, LauraMé Smith often demonstrates how NOT to gypsy (so that the other person is always trying to get away from you), and she does it early in the evening, on the floor, with a chosen accomplice, and with humor.

OK, I think we have talked at each other for awhile now, arguing whether or not harassment is rampant at our dances.  I think it would be nice if we could now discuss solutions we as CALLERS (remember, this is a callers' list, not an organizers' list) can and should do with respect to this.  If anyone has any ideas, some positive solutions, I am open and receptive to hearing them.
