[Callers] Facebook and google groups

Re: [Callers] Gender free dances

I call a fair number of dances that include novices, among them children who often prefer to dance with someone of the same gender.  I've gotten into the habit of using "suns" and "moons" to distinguish roles, which they bget a kick out of.  When I've been in situations where I'm calling to

Re: [Callers] Announcing Dance Names (Was: "Lost in Interstellar Haze")

I could not disagree with you more, Greg. I've been calling dances for 30 years, and have never had dancers express concern, let alone dissatisfaction, that my announcing the name and author of a dance has been a distraction- and dancers know I am very open to comments about my calling. I
