In order to get experience as a caller I started my own dance series
(mostly for a beginning crowd). On occasion I would hire another
caller who also was inexperienced. You've never heard of this woman.
She wasn't polished. Some of her dances were dorky, her timing so-so
etc. BUT she was the greatest caller I've ever seen. She had a
talent for interacting with people that was incredible. She got them
laughing, yelling and screaming with joy with her style, kidding and
dances. The dancers were glad they came dancing. And they had a
reason to come back. I've never seen any other caller do what she
did. I wish I could copy her style but can't- this is something
that's unique to her.
I've begged her to keep calling but she's not into it.
