Hi Don,
As has been said, you really need to find out what they think they
mean and what they are hoping for. As an example:
Irish people dancing Waves of Tory:

English people dancing Waves of Tory:

Note how the timing, styling, speed are all completely different, especially
on the Dip 'n' Dive - the Irish take their time, the English rush through
it.
You need to know which they are aiming for!
Even the waltzing is different. I did a gig for an Irish group
recently, The older ladies kept demanding higher speeds - their idea of
waltz was 50% faster than the average at a contra dance!
Good luck!
Happy dancing,
John
