Caller is a person that calls dance figures in round dances, line dances, square dances, contra dances, etc. The caller may be one of the participating dancers, as well as a designated person.

The caller is usually an experienced dancer who is supposed to know the calls and the moments when the calls should be made. Moreover, the caller has to have a good understanding of overall choreography of the dance in question, of the level of the participating dancers, and of the means of "troubleshooting" when the dance goes out of order.
