ABSTRACT
The MC, DJ, or leader of the band announces a “Paul Jones” and the band then plays a bright tune. The dancers then form two large circles, the Leaders on the inside and facing outwards, the Followers on the outside and facing inwards, that is, towards the Leaders. It is sometimes advisable to begin by playing a Waltz or Quickstep and then when all the dancers are on the floor, to announce a Paul Jones and immediately break into the Call tune. The organizer of the dance arranges for a few “spots”, such as under certain electric lights or near a column or post in the ballroom. Music for a popular dance is played and then the music is stopped. Where “spotlights” are available it is a good idea for the spotlight to play on the dancers during the dance, and then when the music stops, the couple standing in the direct ray of the spotlight are the winners.
