Joseph, One other thing you might encounter is different interpretations of language and timing. So for example I've seen MWSD groups perform a "do-si-do" as a four-count swing rather than an 8-count back-to-back. And I've seen chains take six counts, with the other two counts spent wondering why the caller hasn't prompted the next move already. You may not see these things, per se, but be flexible if they interpret your call differently than you intended -- mentally acknowledge that they correctly interpreted your call, and if it needs to be different for contra reasons just explain that you're asking them to do that thing a little differently tonight. You might look at the list of things that they will already know: http://www.callerlab.org/Dance-Programs and look for "Basic/Mainstream List." And have fun. The fun is what it's all about. --Jerome.
