I’m curious about calling beforemicrophones became ubiquitous. Is there much information
about callers prior tosound amplification? Did they drop out quickly to save their voices?
Were thedances just known by enough dancers that they were danced without calling?
Wasthere an emphasis on remembering the figures (as in Scottish)? If the answers to these
questions are widely known, pardon my ignorance!
