But even that tends to go wrong and (a) not fit the music (b) end up with one couple at the top all the time instead of finishing the dip &amp; dive at the bottom. But dip &amp; dive is a fun figure – might puzzle people at first but the a good feel when they get it. <br><br>So I strip out all the complications (copying a caller at the Liverpool Irish centre).

I warn them that there will be random couples at the top each time.&quot;<br></span><br>This is a nice fix. I sometimes visit a CW barn dance that&#39;s led by an annual caller. She always tries to prompt Waves of Tory, it never works well, she&#39;s been known to ask me for an interpretation of what she transcribed onto her cards. Meanwhile her assistants are trying to convey their version of what she&#39;s saying...&nbsp;<br><div><br></div><div>--Karen D.</div>
