So, this begged the question: do I keep calling to help her out (one person), or do I let her fumble and let some help out…. After experimenting some more (calling thinly and watching her…. I stopped calling once and she ended up in a completely different hands 4 group for the P Bal & Swg no where near her P), I finally figured out what was happening! The woman was blind! Or, at least hard of seeing…. A caller friend was at the top of the set “Hey” I asked my friend “is that woman over there blind?”,…. “yeah”, he said, quite non-chalantly, no big- deal….
While I have no experience with this, it surprises me... I would have expected the blind person to learn the dance faster than the regular dancers! Has anyone else had experience with blind dancers?
