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
thru Plus Party Dances, BMI and ASCAP licensed; 517-202-6248 (home);
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.
