Bob & Lynn Van Atta began their round dancing experience in 1983 under the leadership of George & Louise
Van Courtland of Lafayette, LA. They became leaders for Les Danseurs Round Dance Club after the death of
George Van Courtland in 1884.
In addition to cueing at local & state festivals in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida &
Texas, the Van Attas were on the staffs of Fun Valley in Colorado for 2 years, English Mountain in Pigeon Forge, TN for 5 years, the Fontana Fall Festival in North Carolina for 7 years, and the Mid-America Festival in Louisville, KY for 4 years.
They have choreographed a number of dances and two of them, Whipped Cream and Whiskey Under the Bridge,
were named "Round of the Quarter" by Round-A-Lab, the International Association of Round Dance Teachers.
After Lynn retired from her teaching position, Bob sold their boarding kennel and they spent the next 7
years on the road, working for KOA (Kampgrounds of America) all over the United States.
In January 2011, Bob & Lynn purchased a home in Green Valley, AZ and have gone back to the activity that
was so much a part of their lives - Square and Round Dancing. They cue for the Green Valley Squares and
the Western Whirlers square dance clubs. They also teach in their own club, Les Danseurs. They cue and
teach five times a week in Tucson and Green Valley in Arizona.
"Square dancers and Round dancers are very special people and we have always felt at home, no matter
where we have traveled. What a GREAT activity!"
Traveling allows us to continue meeting new friends in the Square & Round Dance world and we would
appreciate your consideration as cuers for any of your weekly club dances or your special events.
Thanks for your time and interest. -- Bob & Lynn Van Atta
