If we have a live band I check with the band that the dance will be
preceded by 2 chords and that if a encore is needed, it will be preceded
by 1 chord.  If this is agreed then I don't have to make any statement
whatsoever as this is the norm.
To start the dance I play track 1 and it naturally runs on with track 2
and there is no break when it changes to track 2. (2 chords)  For the
encore I simply play track 2. (1 chord)  I don't need to give any
instructions other than announce the dance and check that the sets are
complete.

Charles,
 
You must have a wonderful group of dancers if they don't even need a
reminder that the dance requires 3C and 4C to start on the opposite
side.

Why do you not start the encore with two chords and a cross over also?
AND, if the encore doesn't require it then why did the first time
through need it.
I'm curious.
