We always have about 15% first-timers at our open, public dances. Recently a caller announced that dancers had the option of switching contra dance lines while "out" at the top or bottom....Then s/he called several dances featuring "out of minor set" interactions. Not good. It is particularly confusing if your "shadow" moves to another set and the newcomers have to deal with a "new" shadow.
