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.

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.

Square Dancing is one of the most entertaining and health promoting activities to be found. I am passionate about its virtues and have been for over 40 years.
My primary mission is to educate, entertain, and expound the value of Square Dancing to everyone. In Paradise, California I call for the Calvet Ridge Runners,
a weekly workshopping Plus Club, and have begun a Community Dance Program to support promotion and recruiting and because it's FUN! I consider myself
an excellent One Night Party dance caller, as I have worked hard to perfect the art over the last 20 years.

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.
