Why We Don't Need to be Afraid to Call

Mac told me an astonishing thing today. He said that quite a few people told him that the dance a couple of months ago with all the newbie callers was one of the most fun dances in a long time.

Go figure.

It was probably the band (the Mound City Slickers), but it might have been that the crowd felt that little thrill you get when you're just a little worried on someone's behalf - the way watching Triple A baseball can be more fun than watching a major league game, because it is simply not assured that the outfielder is going to catch the fly ball.

What this means for us is, of course, that we should tell our fears to go take a hike, at least long enough for us to actually get up and call a dance. Just one dance. The fans, apparently, will think it's fun.

Wow--that's amazing! Thanks for passing that along.

The other thing that makes me a little more willing to try calling again is that we have a group of supportive dancers AND a group of supportive fellow newbie callers. We're all rooting for each other.
