I was asked to run a dance for a nudist colony in the south of England, but
they said I wouldn’t have to be naked.
I wasn’t sure I wanted to watch all the wobbly bits bounce around though, so I
declined.
Happy dancing,
John

Subject: [Callers] teaching Naked in California
Hi everyone
This is kind of a newbie question. I've never called Naked In California [Nils
Fredland] before and I'm thinking about how to teach it. I think I've mostly
figured it out, but I welcome your comments on my thoughts below:
(1) I would like for everyone to identify their shadows straight away. I think
the best way is to have everyone take hands in long lines then "If you are on
the end and your left hand is free, your shadow is the person in your right
hand (introduce yourselves). Everyone else, your shadow is the person across
and two to the left of you". Is there a better way?
(2) After the partner allemande, if the dancers on the ends have no one in the
right hand, it seems to me that they have to stay put (there is no wrap around
etc.). Is that correct?
(3) It looks like people out on the ends need to swap in the usual way.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Ted
