Planning a party or special event? If you want your guests to have the time of their lives...and maybe to get a little better acquainted. I can help. Whether you call it a square dance, a barn dance, or a hoedown, I've made it so easy that your guests can start square dancing in 60 seconds. No one needs any special skills, or any knowledge of or experience with other types of dance. If you can walk, you can square dance, and I’ll prove it to you in seconds. Using a handful of terms (like Circle, Alamande left, Do-si-do, and Promenade), I’ll take you and your friends from a standing start to the heights of square dance success. And of course, no hoedown would be complete without the Virginia Reel or some Contra dancing. All you have to do is take that first step onto the dance floor. Within seconds, I’ll have you and your guests moving, first in time with my voice, then with the music. In less than a minute, you’ll feel like you’re really dancing – because you are! And here are some of the types of events I’ve called at:
