I cue regularly in Connecticut for the Shoreliners of Guilford, 4C's of Durham/Cheshire (formerly Cogin-Chuggers/Cheshire Cats) & Rocking Roosters of Newtown. I teach in Southbury on Wednesday evening & Middlefield on Thursday as well as for my own Round Dance Club - the SUSIE Q'S. I'm also a member of DRDC.

I called regularly from 1967 to 2007. My teachers were Al Brundage and Earl Johnston as well as Jim Mayo, Ron Schneider, Jack Lasry, Deuce Williams, Audry Jones and Jay King. I also loved to dance New England Contra Dancing and Traditional squares to Duke Miller and Bob McQuillen who were influenced by Ralph Page. During the years I called, Western Style diminished rather than grew in New England. Ron Baldwin in CT has created a new club in the past 3 years. Earl Johnston once said Western dancers dance with their hands and traditional dancers dance with their feet. I believe we should take the best of both worlds and have them dance with their feet and hands and recreate the positive atmosphere that Ron Baldwin has done with his club. Choreography has evolved over the years and we should be able to theme our choreography around concepts that create smooth flowing material that creates a dance feeling of fun, fellowship and success. I have some ideas on how to achieve this by grouping calls into families and knowing how they evolved.

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.

Exclusively Fun Nights for folks that have never square danced before or in a long time. Usually calls for civic and religious groups. Member (and past president) of CT Square Dance Callers and Teachers Association
