Fun and Friendship are the essentials of Square Dancing, without which square dancing just isn't the same. 
The aim of my "New Dancers" Dance is to get them dancing and having a good time. My goal is dancers success. 
I am patient and willing to walk people through new calls and help them as much as possible. I want the dancers 
to enjoy their dancing experience. If they are having a good time, then it is a pleasure for me to call for them. 
Sqaure dancers are the back bone of our activity, without which square dance callers would not exist.

  I enjoy calling for all types of dancers from the least experienced dancers through those who have danced so 
many years that they are beginning to forget the calls. I truely enjoy calling and hope that everybody enjoys my 
calling for them.

  Most of my best friends are my square dance family and other callers.

  New square dancers are just friends that I just haven't met.
