When I am asked to call a dance.. I assume the organizer has an idea what my deal is. If I am asked at the dance for something specific either from a dancer or the host I will accommodate them if I know the material, feel it works with the energy in the night and that the band knows the tune (if applicable).
Outside of a special event... It seems a slippery slope for a dance committee or an underwriting org. to set rules as to the order of dances on any given night. If I have to call in a prescribed order.. the folk is gone. I do believe in consistency in regards to time. You will kill a dance series if you do not respect the dancers who do show up on time. This being said.. 8:00 in the real world is 8:15 ish in Nelson.
