Kids will ask about the elephants and dancers during First Randoli. How do we do quiet teaching without stepping into the lane. Not elephant distance generic advice and not lifting kids for the tusker on a programme cue.

Use drum changes as teaching moments — another troupe is coming — while feet stay planted.
