We are glad you are visiting our site. We would like you to join us at one of our dances. We dance the CALLERLAB Mainstream, Plus and Advanced programs. Please take a look at our schedule for a dance for you.


We are home from our 2016 RV trip. We have been trying to travel to Upper Michigan for the past three year. This year we made it! What a beautiful and interesting part of the country this is. We highly recommend a visit to this part of Michigan. We made it as far west as Des Moines, IA for a meeting of the Alliance for Round, Traditional, and Square Dance (ARTS). 

This year we traveled over 5,000 miles. We are not sure how many more trips we have, but we do look forward to our adventures on the Road. 


We will be posting a summary report of our 2016 RV trip.
