I had a dance I was calling where you were in and out three different ways. After a near meltdown, I wrote a stacked call that included the waitouts in my notes, but concluded that most dances that don't allow the dancers to take over and the caller to drop out are probably not worth it.

Great question. I look forward to reading the responses. It's always tricky because the dancers don't get to practice the end effects until they need to use them once in anger, and then it's over in seconds. And it's hard to get them in
your head when you're practicing the dance at home as a caller.

Subject: [Callers] Dances with tricky end effects

I 'm planning on calling a couple of dances this weekend where there is interaction with couples outside the usual minor sets. One of them is Dan pearl's composition "Cal and Irene." My concern is what happens at the top and
bottom of the lines.



What recommendations do you have to prepare dancers for end effects when they
are not used to anything more than "cross over and wait?"



Thanks.



Parker
