Tony commenced dancing in 1969 and first started calling in 1971 with Ron Mennie and then with Allan Droscher as his mentors. He opened C-City Squares in 1975 with his now wife Christine. Together they also opened Red Hot Plus. Tony served on many committees in various positions including the Victorian Callers Association and the Australian Callers Federation. In 1997 they retired due to family reason and regretfully closed both clubs. In 2012 they moved interstate to Port Macquarie NSW where they have come out of retirement and are opening a new club, which ran for 8 years. Tony moved back to Victoria in 2022 and in March 2023 opened a daytime club in Berwick Victoria Australia.

I, along with my wife Brenda, started Crossroad Squares on 8th July 1982. The club has run continuously ever since, to become the longest running club in Victoria with the original caller. Crossroad Squares cater for beginners to mainstream & plus dancers, and has hosted dancers and callers from all states of Australia and overseas. Brenda & I hope to meet you on a dance floor soon. We also run Southern Cross Plus (est. 1990) for plus dancers, and Southern Cross A (est. 1998) for dancers wanting to dance at the Advanced level. These clubs operate in Albert Park. A caller since 1980, I have travelled extensively across Australia and New Zealand as a guest caller. I have been the author of two square dance books: "The Travelling Callers Complete Guide" and the "Callers Guide To Teaching The Plus Program". I was awarded the National Square Dance Society "Roll of Honour" for my work in square dancing. In 2008 I was presented with a 25 year award from the Victorian Callers Association and I have received a Silver Microphone Award from the Australian Callers Federation.

Jaden launched the 'Australiana Dancers' in 2012 and has built it into one of the countries best known clubs - holding 4 club dances a week.

Jaden regularly organizes special weekends & one day events - having coordinated in excess of 30 specials in the last decade. Some of the countries most loved weekends (including the Australiana Spectacular, Australiana Getaway, By the Sea Weekend & PAC Weekend) have all been organized by Jaden. 

Jaden has been invited to call in the USA, England, New Zealand, 6 European countries & every state of Australia. He has called at every Australian National Convention since 2013 and at the US National in 2019. He regularly conducts calling tours both overseas and within Australia. Also well regarded for his caller training , Jaden has been on staff at caller schools/seminars around the world. 

Jaden calls and teaches all levels from Basic/Mainstream through to C2. He is best known for his interesting & creative choreography, great variety of music and an extremely entertaining & upbeat calling style. You know you are in for a great time with Jaden behind the mic. 

Jaden also cues & teaches round dancing - from easy level Phase IIs up to Ph IVs and Vs. Jaden's cueing is very well regarded with a great variety of dances & rhythms, superb timing & delivery and an overall fun & upbeat style. 

Outside of calling & cueing, Jaden is a regular traveller (enjoying both holidays abroad and in stunning Australia,) an avid sports follower (mostly AFL & Cricket,) a lover of good food & wine and always enjoys a good movie or tv series.

Calling square dances since about 1970 with "live" music, we specialise in one night performances where we provide an entertaining variety of dances in squares, lines and circles, always with calls, making it flexible and easy to follow! From schools and camps to adult social celebrations, everyone can join in with instant fun rather than requiring a course of lessons. We introduce over 4000 people to square dancing each year. We provide our own equipment including coloured lights to add to the easy going atmosphere. All we need is a power point and people! To see what we do, type "Australian Bush Hoedown" into You Tube.

I prefer calling the Basic 1, Basic 2, Mainstream & Plus programs. Dancing should always be fun - Every dance night should be a party night.

I commenced square dancing in 1978, I met my wife Lyn at that time and we got married in 1979 and danced for many years at Lakesider’s Square Dance Club in Reservoir. During this time our two children Rosanne and Adrian were born.

I became interested in calling during the eighties and attended the Double M caller’s school organised by Ron Mennie and Lee McFadyean, then later on Bill Pendlebury.

I opened Chemistry Sets in September 1997 in Deer Park and we are still dancing to this day, I enjoy calling and dancing. I have attended many state and national conventions.

For a short time I was teaching wheel chair square dancing with the assistance of John Van Delft and was named Silver Spinners.

I am a member of various callers’ associations, programmed various functions at a state level and have had the privilege to call to the dressed sets at state and national conventions.

I am also one of the organisers of the Dusk ‘til Dawn Fundraiser Group which raises funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. This fundraiser started in 2001.

I am at present teaching square dancing to a group of U3A seniors with Lyn’s assistance at the Sunbury Football Club on Monday afternoons.

When not calling I enjoy travelling and spending time with my family especially my three grandchildren.
