One important factor in our ability to run a successful 13-week class is having a lot of angels. All Tech Squares members are encouraged to dance with the class.
...
- If you haven't danced in a while, or are concerned you might not remember the calls being taught, square up with another club member and not a class member.
- Don't explain calls if you're not sure about them yourself.
During breaks
- Be a good example in getting out of the way of round dancers.
- Be friendly and talk to class members. Some class members already have friends at squares, but others may not know anyone.
- If class members ask you about a call, either review it for them if you're confident, or direct them to someone who can help them.
- If you have concerns about class members (for example if they're holding on too long), tell me, so I know and can talk to them. If you feel up to it, you can also gently explain what they're doing wrong.
Walkthroughs
- Consider coming to angel walkthroughs if you get to squares early.
Let the Class Coordinator do their job
- The Class Coordinator will get to know the Class well, so you should generally let them do what they want
- If the Class Coordinator asks for another square, and you're willing to dance, go join the square. Even if all the class are in squares, another square may be needed so that squares can be rebalanced.
- If you have concerns about your square being too weak or having too many class, politely let the Class Coordinator know. They may rebalance, or they more may decide that getting people dancing sooner is more important.
- The Class Coordinator may move couples or individuals between squares, or ask you to step out so a class member can have your place. Cooperate with this if possible.
- Tell the class coordinator if you have concerns about class members
