Ways to frame common settings that have deep, subtle effects. Examples:

- The unwritten contract between caller and dancers. How to uphold your end. What you can ask of them.

- Personal capital. How you earn it, when to spend it.

- Forward motion: are we making progress tonight?. Feeling stuck? Going backwards?

- A theory of prompting that tells not only what to say and when, but also how to drop out gradually.

- A framing for mistakes that lets joy in and helps a group absorb new dancers easily and rapidly.
