Dance Calling

My first callers’ workshop followed a local dance where the caller did not show. Several of us became aware of how few local dancers could step in, and decided to learn how. My intent was only to call as needed, and I thought of it as giving up dancing. Not so!

After over sixteen years, I find the joy of calling, and seeing the dance work, as thrilling as the dancing. It is such a treat to share this love of music and dance with like communities everywhere.

Keeping in mind that we are at the dance to have a good time, I will often plan a program to include some new and different dances, as well as favorites. My intent is to teach clearly, walk them quickly, call them only as long as needed, and then get out of the way and let the music carry the dance.
