[Callers] [trad-dance-callers] Applause or Not...

[Judy greenhill via Callers]

My line is always "Live musicians appreciate live applause". It usually gets
a laugh-and applause!

> There are several places where almost no applause occurs after a dance. 
> In some communities, when I've been subjected to that experience, I've 
> asked, "were we off tonight?" The reply usually is something like, "no, 
> the dance was fine (or even great), we just head for our next 
> partner..." I know sometimes it's just the night. Sometimes, though, 
> it's the community's habit. I spoke with a renowned musician the other 
> day, who will no longer play for a certain series. One of the reasons: 
> lack of applause -- lack of that palpable sense of appreciation.
> 
> I think dancers don't often know that applause really makes the band and 
> caller feel better. If they feel better they play better. And, as a 
> dancer, applause usually makes me feel better, too. Any ideas on how to 
> encourage applause? Or, if you're in one of those communities where 
> applause is minimal, does it bother you?
