Caller School Supplemental Information
Description
This document was created by Kris Jensen as a handout for a caller school. It provides a sort of "Cliff's Notes" synopsis for several of the topics commonly covered in a typical caller school. It makes a great quick reference for a newer caller. Since it was created, some of the terminology associated with FASR has changed (if that reference is new to you, you should definitely download this document). In particular the setup previously called "Zero Line" is now called "Partner Line" and "Zero Box" has become "Corner Box".

The table of contents is shown below:

  • Section 1 - Methods Of Choreographic Management
  • Section 2 - Mechanics of Choreobgraphy (FASR)
  • Section 3 - Module Calling
  • Section 4 - Programming
  • Section 5 - Showmanship
  • Section 6 - Smooth Dancing and Body Flow
  • Section 7 - Bad Choreography
