Hi Shared Weight, I'd like to hear some examples of things you as a caller (or you as an organizer encouraging callers) say on the mic during a dance to promote positive dance values. I ask because I'm reviewing my own dance's "calling our dance" communication with callers, as well as evaluating my own statements on mic. I'll get us started. I like to say, a couple times per evening, for dancers to look to the sidelines for dancers who were sitting out, in considering a partner. In dance, Ron Blechner
