I have been calling for 25+ years. I call for 2 clubs on a weekly basis. I have taught in the continuing education program on several occasions. I do one night stands without the help of experienced dancers. Although I do not call the Advanced program, the wife and I did dance it for a period of time. I entertain at retirement homes by singing classic country songs for those beyond their dancing years. I believe a square dance is as much a social event as a dance event, and a square dance club should be part of your personal support group.

I am a "traditional" dance caller. I lead and call contras and squares in what's dubbed the "traditional" style. I am not a member in of Callerlab, and I don't participate in the class orientation of the Modern Western Square Dance organizations. I call in the "all are welcome" style of including a walkthrough of each dance prior to calling it to music. Also, I only work with live music. If the budget is small, I provide the music for my calling by playing fiddle. Though I follow that age old tradition of fiddling and calling, I do use a PA... I started calling in 1984, became a regular caller in San Luis Obispo, CA in 1986. I love calling dances for experienced contra dancers as well as callers for large groups of non-dancers at weddings, parties, and any kind of get-together.

Club caller for the Oroville Promenaders, The Mavericks in Roseville CA, and the Jet Sets Advanced group. Taking limited bookings into next year as I still work a full-time job and life gets pretty hectic! Been calling on a regular basis since late 2014. Can keep most audiences fully "entertained". Here's some samples of Tim's calling. Sample Calls on YouTube Recording artist for Rawhide Music. I enjoy calling, dancing with my wife Liz, and teaching. My square dance calling philosophy is to challenge the experienced dancers as much as possible while allowing the not so experienced dancers a chance to participate and grow. Can substitute when a temp. caller is needed. Everybody should be having as much fun as possible!

My purpose in calling dances is to create events that bring people together, build community and teach traditional values and etiquette. I host and call dances for Civil War Balls that are primarily for families and youths. I also call dances for hoedowns, weddings, school programs, living history reenactments and other private events. My focus is on historical dances, so I am not your typical modern-day square dance caller or round dance caller. I combine various quadrilles, circle dances, longways dances along with some polkas and waltzes to create unique historical events.

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.

I'm a firm believer that "Everyone can dance!" and I make it my mission to bring dancing to groups of non-dancers, wherever they are. I specialize in one-off events for beginners, e.g., wedding receptions, birthday parties, bat mitzvah celebrations, church and community events, events for students, anywhere people want a good time dancing together. I'm the house dance caller for the monthly 3rd Saturday barn dances at Pie Ranch. Most of the time I bring a live band with me to my events.

Naaman Moorehouse started his calling career in 1977 while living in Honolulu, Hawaii. Throughout the next 16 years he organized and maintained three dance clubs in Honolulu and was a frequent guest caller around the islands. After relocating to the mainland, he organized and maintained dance clubs in Davenport and Preston, Iowa and was a frequent guest caller for dances in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri. Several years ago Naaman relocated to western Colorado and declared himself to be retired from the work demands which kept him on the road for so many years. It was soon thereafter that he picked up his mike, dusted off his records and rekindled his passion for calling. He is currently the club caller for the Delta Hub Wheelers (Delta, CO); the Black Canyon Twirlers (Montrose, CO); and his own Plus Club, the High Desert Diamonds, which he recently started and which dances the 1st & 3rd Fridays of each month in Grand Junction, CO.

Ron is one of only a few Modern Western callers who bridges the gap between CALLERLAB sanctioned programs and his own unique Community Dance Programs. Always presented with first-timers encouraged to participate, program variety is accomplished by varying the dance formations. With a presentation that includes a blend of traditional square dances, modern western square dances, Appalachan Big Circle dances, New England contras, circle mixers, couple dances, and an occasional English Country dance, Ron makes it fun and easy for everyone.

I started calling in 1998. I have fun at my dances mixing the old with the new. Most of the comments I receive are, "you play different music then most." I have called is some unusual locations, the top of Mt. Evans in Colorado at over 14,000 feet, 200 feet below ground at Wind Cave in South Dakota, the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado, on stage at Mt. Rushmore along with various other locations. I love to try different things with my groups. We have done Hashtag dancing, Dutch crossing, and others. I am the club caller for Ridge Runners in Conifer, Colorado, and also travel where ever I am hired to do a dance. My wife and I enjoy traveling in our RV to visit, see, and enjoy other areas. I truly believe Square Dancing is Friendship Set to Music.

Our specialties are Barn Dances, Family Dances, Dance Parties for the occasional dancers or the non-dancers, community dances, Contra Dances Beginner's Balls, and exciting fast paced Mainstream club dancing. We will teach your group all that is necessary to have an exciting evening of good old fashioned fun! As disciples of Hall of Fame caller Dick Leger, we prompt all our squares. This unique style of calling always gives the dancer the first beat. Exciting duets have always been the center of our program. We also offer some easy prompted line dances and other dance forms that provide for plenty of variety! We are licensed by ASCAP and BMI and we are members of the Connecticut callers association and CallerLab. We are best known as "We Duet Right" because all our programs feature wonderful live harmonies. Most of our calling has been in southern New England, but we have called throughout New England and as far away as Florida, Nevada, Nebraska, and Oklahoma.

I am a Square Dance Party and Fun Nighter Caller - The DJ alternative. I specialize in beginner and square dance parties for non-dancers including adults, families, scouts, youth, father-daughter dances and handicable groups. Need a fund raiser? I'm also available for dance party or fun nighter dances for your organization. Need a Guest Caller? I can guest call for your square dance club through "lite" Plus. That means I'm willing to call Basic Dances as well if you don't want a regular MS dance. I can also call what I say is "Lite" Plus: That's a light mixture of Plus mixed with MS if your club wants some of the Popular and Easy Plus Calls, but not all of the Plus program. I'm a former member of the local Washington, D.C. metro area callers group NCASDLA. I now live in Acworth, GA (35 miles NW of Atlanta). I'm rejoining Callerlab in early 2021. I'm available now to call for clubs in the Atlanta - including Bartow, Cherokee, and Cobb, GA areas. Remember, Square Dancing is Friendship set to Music.

Gene & Etta hail from the beautiful Bayou country of South Louisiana. We have been dancing many years and Gene has been cueing since 2003. We have presented dances at National Conventions since 2005, including "Eunice Blues" and "Marie Leveaux". Good food and dancing are integral part of their culture, and they invite you to visit South Louisiana where they celebrate the Saints and Mardi Gras all year long. Perhaps because we "inherited" our role as cuers to keep a circle of long time friends dancing our "Mission Statement" has always been that round dancing should be fun and as stress free as possible. Of course, we try diligently to teach and cue correctly, but our main focus will always be la joie de la danse (the joy of the dance).

I began dancing as a teen in 1972 with the Susquehanna Swingers in Havre de Grace, Maryland. At Susquehanna Swingers, I learned to square, round, and line dance. I have been in love with dancing since. I was recruited as a caller in 2006 by Sage Swingers Square and Round Dance Club in Brunswick, Maine. As an associate caller, I was mentored by local callers Bill Fulton and Walt Bull, and attended caller school at the NorthEast Caller School with Ken Ritucci every year since 2006, most recently serving as an Teaching Assistant. In September 2011, I started Twin City Spinners Square and Round Dance Club in Lewiston/Auburn Maine. Promotion for the club start-up included many flash dances and demonstrations and an incredible article published in the Lewiston Sun Journal. I started cueing rounds in 2014 in response to the need for more round cuers. I now cue most styles and levels of dances. Square dance calling: I call through A1, teach through plus and prefer to call fast-track (hot hash) mainstream and plus. Round dance cueing: I cue two-step, waltz, foxtrot, slow two-step, cha, tango, jive, humba, and bolero through Phase 4. I will cue higher level dances with advance notice. I am a member of the international caller/cuer associations Callerlab and Roundalab, and local caller/cuer association NECTA, METRA, and am a founding member of the Four Corners Association.

Matt began taking square dance lessons with his grandmother in 2004 when he was eleven years old. Singing has always been one of his passions, so after dancing for around ten months, he decided learning how to call was the right thing to do! A year after graduating dance lessons, Matt called his first full tip in 2006. Fast forward to the present, Matt calls multiple dances a month for various clubs across New England. He serves as a director for both the Northeast Callers School (Sturbridge, MA) and the Hayloft Steppers Barn (Sturbridge, MA). He has also served as Program Chairperson for the New England Square and Round Dance Convention. When Matt is not working his day job as an IT Manager, he attends dances, festivals, weekends, and conventions across the country. Matt is also on staff for Rhythm Records.

First I was dragged into dancing by my parents in 1982 and came across a caller by the name of Tim Crawford that changed my original opinion of square dancing. I started calling in 1984 under the guidance of Doug Rieck. After some years of practice, I began calling for the Flushing Roadrunners and eventually the Independence Squares until taking a break in 2019. Now that my boys are raised and I'm retiring (June 2024) after 30 years teaching middle school I'm looking to get back into the activity. Specializing in Party Nights

I have been dancing and calling for some 30 plus years. The level of calling has been from fun nighters to mainstream plus. For fun nighters, I make sure people have a good time. I interact well with the audience (dancers) to get them to relax so they enjoy dancing. I am currently conducting mainstream and plus lessons. Again, it is important to have the dancers be able to learn the calls. I teach the dancers in several different formats to have them learn the steps.

I began square dancing in 1969, and started calling in 1970. At that time I lived in Wisconsin. I had two clubs that I gave lessons for and called the dances every month, and both clubs had floats in local parades, also we entertained at Senior Centers. One Club was at Downing, WI. called the Beaux & Belles. The second Club was at New Richmond, WI. named Willow Squares. Both clubs have since closed down.

In the 1980s I also called regularly for the Rice Lake Twirlers. I called for several clubs in Wisconsin from 1970 to 1992 in Chippewa Falls, Eau Claire, Fall Creek, Centuria and Downsville. In Minnesota I called in Albert Lea, Burnsville, Duluth, Saint Paul, Rum River, and several more. Annually we had Hog Roasts at a campground at Menomonie, Wisconsin.

In 1992 I sold the farm I was operating and moved to MN, to search for work. I ended up at West Publishing (Thomson Reuters) for 12 years.

I did square dance lessons, and dances, for Richfield Squares club. Then I started teaching Country Line dancing with a club in Bloomington, Minnesota. I occasionally called tips with Dick Reuter at Spares & Pairs in Bloomington. I retired from West Publishing (Thomson Reuters) in 2007.

I have called in WI, MN, ND, SD and a weekend festival in Ontario Canada. I had an extended time off due to surgeries, but am now resuming Square Dance Calling. I have submitted my renewal of membership with Callerlab & BMI/ASCAP, and am a member with MSDCA. I attended Callers School in 1971 which was taught by the legendary George Garganno (who is deceased). Let's square them up and get dancing.

I call Mainstream with Plus tips. More recently I have been teaching ABC dances, and a Basic "blast". I was a member of Callerlab from about 1973 until 1992, I have rejoined as of 2019. I am a member of the Minnesota Callers Association.

Lovely wife Betty..travel as a team. Wayne adjusts dance level to ability of the present dancers on the floor. Emphasis is on good body flow and timing which result in a smooth program. Very good singing voice - easy to understand. Interesting get-outs. May throw in a joke or two. You may have danced to "better" callers, but you have never had more fun! Compatible with all age levels. Love to do "one-night hoedowns" and can communicate well with (age 7 - 19) youth groups.

Calling since 1972 Member New Mexico Callers Assoc.
Member Texas Callers Assoc. Was elected to New Mexico Hall Of Fame in 2006
Like to do club dances, one night stands and Festivals
Recorded on Double JJ label and Riverboat

Ted Clement began taking square dance lessons at his wife's suggestion. At the end of the lessons he told the caller that he would like to call too. He was told that the best way to learn to do that was to find 4 couples that wanted to learn to square dance and teach them. Doing that he would learn how to call along the way, that was in 1973. He has been calling and teaching square dancing ever since all over southern New Mexico.

Ted currently calls for 2 clubs in Las Cruces, 1 club in El Paso and 1 club in Alamogordo for a total of 7 dances a month. He also teaches lessons in all three cities beginning every fall. He has called at the National Square Dance Convention several times and for club across the US. Ted and his late wife, Lois, were elected to the NM Square Dance Hall of Fame in 2006.

When Ted isn't calling square dancing he works at a USDA Research Ranch, doing everything that ranchers do. He rode in the Lincoln County Pony Express Race many times and holds the record for the most wins and fastest time. Ted also is a team roper, both heads and heels, and still has horses and steers to work. So he truly is a cowboy who calls square dancing.

Now that he is semi-retired from the ranch he is available to call outside of the local area for one night stands and festivals.

Ted loves to teach square dancing and has lessons beginning every September in all 3 cities. All are invited to come and try Modern Square Dancing. The first 2 lessons are free.

Ted believes in calling to the level of the floor, "If they are standing there looking at you they are not having fun!" Fun is the name of the game. Find Ted on Facebook---Ted Clements, the Real Cowboy Caller
