Presentation Transcript
Discover the dancersabilities When you have called for a group before, you still have to allow for : Visitors; New graduates; Full moon or other distractions If this is a guest tip, observe what the club caller calls; start in a similar way Start with comfortable clich sequences understand Degree of Difficulty in the area Then use calls that are more unusual (Walk & Dodge; Crossfold) [Crossfire; Explode the Wave] Try calls from unfamiliar formations or arrangements BBGG ocean wave Swing Thru or Spin the Top Left-Handed Columns Circulate; Left-Handed Waves Scoot Back
Know or Plan: How to Normalize Quickly Understand what formation and arrangement each call will create. Dancers will fix situations that feel strange to them. When you write choreography, build in resolve points. Get those dancing home so everyone can start again. Build in ways to get dancers to standard/normal lines so you can get everyone dancing again. Give a hint to reassure dancers (all the girls are in the center) If this group is familiar with you, review how to make lines if needed.
Working with recent graduates Use short sequences lots of Allemande Left/RLG give confidence. Pick a theme call, use it in standard situations first. After the sequence that uses a strange formation or arrangement, use another standard sequence. (Scoot Back) Set up the variations so that you can use helper words to cue. For example: if only the centers are doing the Scoot Back, make sure the Boys are going in to trade and the Girls are flipping over. Use singing call figures that are shorter than 64 beats you can always add a time filler if they finish early.
Helping Words Try to give the dancers clues by stating what formation they should have Standard(Normal) Facing Lines; 2 Faced Lines Girls in Center Remember that not all dancers are familiar with all the formation names. Add humor: I was hoping all the girls would be in the center Mostly boys are in the center Give the dancers a few beats to adjust if they are oblivious, move on it just gets embarrassing. Give clues: Zoom Leads Back; Scoot Back: Boys go in. Be careful not to directionally call the call. The quick dancers may try to do the directions also. Beware of miscues such as Boys Scoot Back or Centers Zoom
Use the full list of calls Record your calling and check off all the calls you used for the night. List the calls you never called. Analyze why you do not use those calls. Are you comfortable enough to help the dancers, or are you not sure where those calls start and end? Use the Standard Applications Handbook to understand where the call should start for dancer comfort. Create sequences using the orphan calls. Make sure the sequence ends in a familiar, standard formation and arrangement. Be prepared to help, write cues/hints in your choreography.
Remember you want the dancers dancing Success is not 100% of the dancers dancing 100% of the time, but it should be about 90% dancing most of the time. What can you do about the doomed square? Ignore them Try to find a way for them to succeed Start sequences with the Side couples if the Head couples are weak? Try to move dancers so that every weak dancer is near a stronger dancer Shorten the patter Do not try to use all your creative ideas in one tip or one dance. Build up to the more complicated themes/choreography. Building dancer success is an ongoing process.
