[Callers] Callers Workshop with Carol Ormand
Triangle Country Dancers (Durham/Chapel Hill, NC) is hosting a callers workshop with Carol Ormand April 13-14 (she is also calling for our Friday dance on the 12th), and we still have a few slots available. I'm including the description for the workshop below. If you are interested in attending, please let me know or register at http://www.tcdancers.org/workshop/ We do need to finalize the participant list ASAP because Carol plans to contact all participants a few weeks before the workshop to discuss goals for the workshop. Jack Callers' Workshop with Carol Ormand - April 13-14 Madison, Wisconsin caller Carol Ormand is beloved throughout the dance community for her smooth and unflappable style, wickedly fun dances, and penchant for keeping all the dancers on the floor smiling. Carol's enthusiasm, paired with her clear and efficient teaching, creates a delightful dancing experience for beginners and veteran dancers alike. Carol will be in the Chapel Hill, NC area the weekend of April 12-14. She is calling for the Triangle Country Dancers regular Friday night dance on April 12th and on Saturday we will have an all day workshop designed to improve a specific calling related skill. Calling well can be a great source of pleasure. In the workshop, each participant will get to focus on improving one calling-related skill. By the end of the day on Saturday, you will know how to make progress on the skill of your choice and on all of the other topics covered that day. Anything related to calling is fair game: creating an inviting atmosphere, programming an evening, communicating with the band, efficient yet effective walk-throughs, effective use of a microphone... whatever you most want to work on next. On Sunday, we'll gather to reflect on what we've (collectively) learned and to plan our (individual) next steps in that work. Participants are also invited to join Carol for an informal dinner (probably at Weaver Street Market) on Friday evening before the dance. Cost for the workshop is on a sliding scale from $40-90. The Saturday workshop and evening dance will be held in a private home near Chapel Hill, NC. Meals on Saturday are included in the cost of the workshop. The location of the Sunday wrap-up is still to be announced. If you have any questions, please email Jack Mitchell at: jamitch[number three][at sign]mindspring.com <http://mindspring.com/>. This event is supported in part by the Outreach Fund of the Country Dance and Song Society (www.cdss.org <http://www.cdss.org/>).

Re: [Callers] Callers' Workshop with Carol Ormand - April 13-14
Carol Ormand's workshop for callers is what Jack describes, and it's a perfect gift to give to your 'Caller Self'. Carol is a master teacher as well as a fine caller; you will come away having developed strength in an area of your choosing, having learned from and given to the other callers in the workshop, and affirmed as the caller you wish to be.
