It's definitely difficult, but one has to start somewhere even if the result is largely A2 with occasional gusts up to C1. I'm sure most of my first attempts will be crap and will never be used on mic, but the exercise is worthwhile to uncover some gaps in my knowledge. I'll probably have Dayle, Ett and others vet my drafts for feedback before inflicting them on dancers.
I've heard some people say that it helps to dance the level above whatever you're calling, so that you don't make mistakes that the next higher level dancers would hate.
Yup, I've heard the same, and it's a reasonable rule of thumb. Alas, I'm a long way from getting to C2 but there is a more immediate need to call C1 in at least a minimally competent fashion. To be sure, the path ahead is strewn with "proceed with extreme caution" signs.
