(Reprinted from January 2005 issue of American Squaredance magazine, with their permission)
1. I will arrive early for the dance.
2. At least three or four times this year I will stay after the dance and help clean the hall (or kitchen).
3. I will smile and greet other dancers, especially new and visiting guests.
4. I will applaud the caller or cuer after each tip or dance before thanking the square.
5. (Especially for callers) I will teach classes this year. As a club member I will encourage the caller and club to have a class for new dancers at once a year.
6. I will hold open mike nights to encourage dancers to become callers.
7,As a club member I will support the caller in having open mike nights.
8. I will encourage dancers to attend other clubs at their dances.
9. I will dance at different level clubs this year especially new dancer hoedowns.
10. I will ask a non-dancing friend to join me at a dance this year. If all my friends are already dancers, then I will invite others.
11. I will work as an angel for classes to insure that new dancers receive full enjoyment while learning.
Some of these speak more to callers than dancers, but I'm sure we can all improve in some area!!
