=== Sound effects ===
Sound effects are standard{{Citation needed|date=January 2014}} responses to the caller.  These include vocalized sounds, hand claps and foot stomps.  Sound effects are generally well accepted{{By whom|date=January 2014}}, as they do not change either the timing or the execution of the step.  The sound effects often serve as a [[mnemonic]] device, in that dancers associate the execution of the step with the particular sounds.  A rhyming or punning word-play on the name of the call is common.  For example, the response "Pink Lemonade" mirrors rhythmically and rhymes with the call "Triple Trade".

Problems with sound effects can occur when they make it difficult to hear the caller's cues{{Citation needed|date=January 2014}}, or are shouted too loud{{Citation needed|date=January 2014}}; however, in practice such situations are rare{{Citation needed|date=January 2014}}.
