dance caller's journal: What happens when you get too busy

http://dancecaller.blogspot.com/2009/06/what-happens-when-you-get-too-busy.html

Monday, June 29, 2009. What happens when you get too busy. You make no blog posts! So much has been happening that it's been hard to find the time to keep our faithful readers up to speed. We can work from the outside in:. 1 The High Tea and Whiskey Dance Weekend. 2 The new name for the Hatchling Dances. 3 The 4th of July dance. 4 Everything else - will have to wait. High Tea and Whiskey. The 4th of July dance. We were almost forced to cancel this one, but for reasons WAY too complicated to go into, we'r...

dance caller's journal: Thoughts on Wordiness in Calling

http://dancecaller.blogspot.com/2010/07/thoughts-on-wordiness-in-calling.html

Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Thoughts on Wordiness in Calling. Transferring the Contents of One Brain into Another. It has occurred to me that the reason callers get wordy is that they somehow think that if they can just transfer the contents of their brains into the brains of the dancers, the dancers will understand the WHOLE DANCE and will, therefore, dance better. Understanding the Whole Dance is, of course, the job. But I say, to myself and others: DON'T DO IT! August 23, 2010 at 6:17 AM. Well, of cours...

dance caller's journal: Program review for Childgrove dances

http://dancecaller.blogspot.com/2009/07/program-review-for-chldgrove-dances.html

Thursday, July 2, 2009. Program review for Childgrove dances. I realized that I have not set down any specific guidelines on what we expect from the Hatchling callers at regular Childgrove events (not at the Saturday Caller’s Choice dances). I don’t like a lot of rules – but this should allow the callers to know what is expected and provide some consistency:. Hatchling callers guest calling with one of our ‘regular’ callers:. Monthly dance where 2 or 3 Hatchlings are the scheduled callers:. Most of the H...

dance caller's journal: More on the Double Grand Square

http://dancecaller.blogspot.com/2009/06/more-on-double-grand-square.html

Thursday, June 4, 2009. More on the Double Grand Square. I have to admit, I was really thrilled when we walked through the double grand square yesterday. I was lucky, of course. There were exactly 16 people at the Calling Party. All but one of them knew already how to do a Grand Square. They even thought it would be fun. Everyone learns fast when they're having fun. This didn't happen all at once, of course. It started when I played music for John Ramsay's high school class doing (? I am so psyched.

dance caller's journal: November 2009

http://dancecaller.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, November 19, 2009. Waiter, There’s a Duck in my Soup. A most interesting thing happened the other night. Yet after the dance was over, a friend of mine said “Nice calling – except that you confused us by calling ‘circle left’ a couple of times.” “Oh no! 8221; I said. “@#$%! I sent an instant message to my friend about what I had heard. “The recording lies,” he said. When I invited people to this week’s Calling Party, I mentioned the oddity and got these comments back:. Several of us learned lat...

dance caller's journal: Dan and Karen's on December 9, 2009

Wednesday, December 9, 2009. Dan and Karen's on December 9, 2009. Lovely time at Dan and Karen's extra apartment tonight. Bob and Dale called some dances, there was jamming with Dan and Alice and Dale and Jan. Dan had an old violin that I played since I didn't think of bringing mine. The hair was half gone from the bow but the fun was still left. There was gluhwein and lovely eats and good folks. Happy holidays. How nice to see you posted about this! Inspires me to re-learn how to play some day. We're co...

dance caller's journal: Martha's Double Grand Square

http://dancecaller.blogspot.com/2009/06/marthas-double-grand-square.html

Thursday, June 4, 2009. Martha's Double Grand Square. For those of you who missed the calling party last night - it was a great one. In addition to celebrating Kay's birthday, there were 16 of us there so we had the honor of being Martha's live salt and pepper shakers as she tried out the Double Grand Square. Or as I like to think of it Martha's Great Grandsquare) with live dancers. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What is this blog about? View my complete profile. What happens when you get too busy.
