They're busy.
--> RECRUIT DANCERS
They tried it in school and didn't like it.

They don't want to wear those funny clothes

A friend told them it was too hard to learn.
--> RECRUIT DANCERS
Congratulations! Because of your persistence, you now have an
entire square of brand-new dancers!

Error: There are not enough dancers for a square dance.

The lessons lasted so long that some of them dropped out, never to be
seen again.
--> HELP
Recommendation: Ask the remaining dancers to recruit their friends as
new dancers.
--> RECRUIT DANCERS
Yes! Although the first dancers you recruit may be hard to find,
recruiting gets easier and easier with practice!
--> RECRUIT DANCERS
Congratulations! You now have an entire square of brand-new dancers,
along with half a square of experienced dancers.

--> TEACH BRAND-NEW DANCERS FOR MONTHS
Aha! You're finally catching on! Congratulations!
You have now taught the brand-new dancers for months!
--> START DANCING
Error: there are not enough dancers for a square.
--> EXPLAIN
Some of the brand-new dancers dropped out of lessons before finishing,
and some of the experienced dancers moved up to higher levels.
--> HELP
Recommendation: The only way to win the game is to stay with it, until
you finally end up with an entire square of dancers.
--> FIND SHORTCUT
There are no shortcuts.
--> CHEAT
Cheating is not allowed.
--> STEAL DANCERS FROM ANOTHER CALLER
Sneaky, aren't we? Stealing dancers is not a good idea.
It takes the same amount of effort to bring in a non-dancer as it does
to steal a dancer.
--> STEAL DANCERS ANYWAY
Not only is it the same effort, it's also the same WORDS: Will
You Square Dance With Us? The activity is much better served when
we recruit non-dancers, instead of cross-recruiting from among ourselves.
--> RECRUIT DANCERS
That's the spirit! Now you're gaining on it!
--> TEACH THEM FOR HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES
Yes! And the better you teach them, the better they'll dance,
and the more fun they'll end up having!
--> ENTERTAIN DANCERS
Yes! As callers, our main purpose is to entertain the dancers!
And if we happen to teach them a few calls while entertaining them, then
that's okay too!
--> START DANCING
Yes! Let's dance! And let's never stop!
