In some communities, a different approach is taken - to help avoid breakdowns while switching dances on the fly, trying to see that less experienced/skilled dancers have a partner the can give them a little help along on the way.

I would be very interested in any techniques or strategies you, as the caller, would use to achieve this behavior: "...trying to see that less experienced/skilled dancers have a partner the can give them a little help along on the way." I am particularly interested in what callers do to encourage more generous partnering behaviors in a medley. How do you achieve that "We're all in this together," sentiment that Larry Jennings speaks of?
