Calling Parties, and SSD thru C4 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 teach beginner classes for Brecksville Squares and
Circulators in Ravenna.

I have two new classes starting on Oct 5, 2025:
Advanced Class on Sundays from 3:30 - 5:00. Come on out and have some fun expanding your knowledge!
C1 Class on Sundays from 2:00 - 3:30. Are you ready for a Challenge?
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.
