Re: [Callers] freedom

These are good points, and they bring up a larger situation. Presumably, Tom accepted the gig months ahead of the date (like all of us). A few days before the gig, he receives the new "rule". Does anyone think that there might be a slight ethical problem here? When we accept a gig, it's an

I'm certainly well aware of issues that confront those people you listed and others. I'm hoping you'll share your homework with us off line as you suggested. Sent from my iPad > On Mar 29, 2018, at 6:36 PM, Ron Blechner wrote: > > Thanks. > > I'm really not the

Thanks. I'm really not the person ultimately who should be listened to. Marginalized dancers are the people we all should be listening to. Folks who are LGBTQ, people of color, people with disabilities, Romany, etc. I've done my homework, and I've made my choices about what to support. Ron On

Re: [Callers] freedom

[Callers] freedom

Here was my issue, briefly : I was told to use "walk around" when calling at glen echo. It also happens that I'm a western square caller and have used "walk around your corner, see saw your taw" for decades. It has happened on two occasions when I have mixed up square dance calls from one
