1 Men and women do learn differently. While many of the basic components in a man's and woman's mind are identical, the woman has more automatic features. For example, the woma‘ automatically synchronizes the voice cues with the automa- tic beat counter and instantly recalls the dance sequence and basic steps. The man has to work for each of these, and if he ever recalls anything, it is usually too late. The woman can also switch her partner off and prevent any position adjusting feedback. The counterpart of this with the man is the partner lead reject filter which, if used, usually results in missing the beat and is far less effective than the turn off switches. Anyone can gain a better understanding of the mechanics of round dancing with just a little study of these diagrams. Problem areas can be identified even before they are experienced. Learn- ing to round dance can become as easy as driving through a strange city on one of our modern expressways. 34 35 As far as challenge dancing is con- Beltz has recently started an inter- cerned, we are fortunate to be in mediate level club and has approxi- a good location, being close enough mately seven squares at the present to dance with Pittsburgh, Columbus, time. and Dayton challenge clubs, and at New challenge material is coming the monthly dances at Scio with out at a terrific rate and there is still Ralph Pavlik. quite a .gap to be bridged, but the In addition to our regular caller, Hash Hounds are ready and willing Ed Foote, the Hash Hounds also to work with new challenge dancers have many special dances with Lee and with that attitude we could con- Kopman, Jack Lasry, Dewey Berry, tinue to grow and be an active and Jimmy Davis, Jack Hague, and other fun-loving challenge club. callers.
