Give good weighting to each dancer, without jerking or throwing them regardless of their size. Be precise in your timing. But when you do blow it. Blush, apologize and keep dancing. Its a pleasure almost unique to country dancing.
Applause is music to the ears of callers and musicians.
They need to be reassured they are doing a good job after each dance. Whenever you feel so moved, give them a hand or a cheer. A hug and a compliment for the caller and musicians at the end of the evening is as important as a last waltz. After all, the caller, the band, and the dancers are a single happy family. We also will continue to provide workshops and special events to perfect your dancing skills, and to schedule excellent callers and musicians to give you a superior and varied dance experience.
