Meet Me in St Louis will indeed have a workshop this year. Waiting to get with our caller to see what it will be. Getting our schedule out early is not our strong point. Also - we are currently focused on organizing a memorial dance March 1 for Bob Green who died tragically in an auto accident late last year. That will have open calling.
We do have a monthly calling party at one of the dancers homes (yes - Bob organized that too). It has resulted in the development of several new callers. I know other communities have similar events. I hope you can find one near you Also - as you know - part of MMISL is open calling and we would love to have you participate. Calling at a dance weekend event is by far the easiest group of dancers to call for.

Anyone know of any courses / workshops to improve my calling (in person or online)? I'm willing to travel for the right course. (E.g. Meet Me in St Louis had a calling workshop in 2024, but the schedule isn't out yet for 2025.) My wife and I were long-time Boston-area contra dancers who are now trying to bring the tradition to our adopted city in Austria. Almost all the dancers are new, I'm a new caller, and I believe it would help me to attend a class to learn more and get feedback on my technique.
