Doug is available to fill in at square dance clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area. He thoroughly enjoys filling in for fellow callers so he can meet other square dancers. He calls levels from Beginners thru Advanced and especially enjoys teaching beginner classes. Doug's specialty is One-Night-Stands (aka easy-level parties for non-square dancers) for large or small groups at events like birthday or anniversary parties, wedding receptions, school and church fundraisers, fraternity/sorority parties, corporate gatherings and fraternal organization and retirement community events. Most parties are focused on square dancing and line dancing, both of which are Doug's areas of expertise, and he has the ability to generate great enthusiasm. Doug's Sinatra-like voice can bring the evening to a close with relaxing dance tunes from the era of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, so everyone enjoys some soothing slow dancing after an evening of lively action. He has received numerous compliments on his song selection and singing from the heart. Doug can also do "Square Dance Demos", providing the dancers, the music and the calling. He has also been a recording artist with Rawhide Records, and is a member of the Square Dance Callers' Association of Northern California.
