LOL. We tell people who love to play out of the Fiddler's Fakebook as if it's sheet music that if they are having trouble playing the tunes well, it's cuz they need to play them as DANCES, at dance tempo.

We have one caller who dances, calls, and teaches at the same time, using one of those headsets. He perks up the band temp when it's needed. Maybe your caller(s) (do ya have them for your kinda dance?) could help fix the tempo and the mutual expectations...

Not to worry, tho-- if you don't please the dancers you'll fall off the list of invitees.
