The calling itself appeals to my analytical, problem-solving side. I get to spin the dancers around into wierd & wonderful formations, then use internalized knowledge of a defined subset of square dance calls (esp. their starting & ending positions) to find a way to resolve the square, all while staying 2-3 calls ahead of the dancers themselves.

On a somewhat higher level, I also get to participate in the planning process for our weekly dances, monthly community dances, occasional workshops and annual fly-ins. This let me use my project planning skills and detail-oriented planning.

In it all is a sense of community among square dancers and the square dance callers too.
