A caller is a person who prompts dance figures in such dances as line dance, square dance, and contra dance. The caller might be one of the participating dancers, though in modern country dance this is rare. In round dance a person who performs this function is called a cuer. Their role is fundamentally the same as a caller, in that they tell dancers what to do in a given dance, though they differ on several smaller points. In northern New England contra dancing, the caller is also known as the prompter.
How Square Works. This coffee shop in New York uses Square for payments. One of the biggest selling points of Square is the ability for small businesses to accept credit card payments. A great example is a vendor at a farmer's market. In the past, shoppers had to use cash to buy organic kale and gooseberry jam at a farmer's market. With a service like Square, a farmer's market vendor can turn her smartphone into a fully functioning cash register that accepts payment by credit or debit card and deposits the funds directly into a bank account.
