Lots of good thoughts in this thread. I've just read it all in one go
and found myself nodding to at least something from everyone's contribution.
I don't really see anyone offering formulae or algorithms for when to
stop calling, to change the amount/style or to drop out. The numbers

I take a much different approach. There are far too many variables to try
to
attach a number to anything. The most important is how the dance is
designed -

n't try to make rules for this. Watch the dancers - their comfort level will
let you know what you can do.

Hi Martha,
The situation here in NZ is a bit different, as we have no contra
dance tradition and it's pretty new here. I learn a lot from shared
weight and it's helping me establish the tradition that I hope forms here.
I'm trying to wean the dancers off being dependent on the calls.
Many
t be prompted with 1 word i.e. "Gents". That could be the
only prompt that time thru the dance.

We had a discussion the other night - not about how many walkthroughs, but
about how many times the caller should call before dropping out.
Obviously, it depends.
So, for the purpose of this discussion, let's assume a new-dancer to
intermediate dancer to experienced dancer ratio of 1:2:1. If ever
16 matches
