Square Dance Caller
Calling Parties, and Mainstream thru C3 dances, workshops and classes.
Square dance parties are a wonderful alternative to the average everyday event. I bring a variety of music to entertain everyone from 9 to 99 with Square Dancing and Line Dancing. Parties can be arranged for birthdays, weddings, block parties, church groups and other social gatherings. So if you are looking for something just a little different, send me an email and lets have some fun.
I have written an application that assists me in sight calling. The primary purpose of the program is to present the list of calls in the level to ensure the whole list is used at a dance and to help my figures stay "fresh". Give it a try! Callit
There are many YouTube videos available demonstrating Square Dancing. One of my favorites is this one. In this video, the dancers are being entertained with a sequence from each of the programs in Modern Western Square Dancing, from Basic through hard C4. Each program (sometimes referred to as levels) builds on the previous program adding figures and complexity. For those well versed in Square Dancing, try watching it without the sound first to see if you can identify which sequence is from which program.
A new youth club has formed in San Diego called by Andy Allemao
and me. We meet at the San Diego Ice Arena on Sundays from 1-3pm.
The group is open to all youth dancers (8-18), no experience required.
