Meet my family.

Frank, Elisa, Teresa and Andrew

Ready to dance! April 2006

Elisa began dancing in the 70's with her parents.  Then, Frank and Elisa began dancing in the 90's after college graduation.  Frank & Elisa enjoyed dancing until Teresa was born in 1993 and found it too hard to continue with a baby.  So after having Andrew they once again tried dancing with 2 small children and found it still too difficult.  In 2004, Frank and Elisa started dancing once again.  After about a year of dragging Teresa and Andrew along to watch, it was time to get them lessons as they wanted to dance too.  In the fall of 2005 Teresa and Andrew began square dance lessons.  Their first dance as new dancers was January 2006 and the rest is history.  They have been dancing up a storm ever since.  In June of 2010, Teresa and Andrew took up calling.  The club caller Jim Pacholke would let them do one singing call at each dance and then finally a tip of their own.  With the support of the Star Righters Square Dance Club in Michigan City, Indiana Teresa and Andrew had the opportunity to practice and improve their calling skills by hosting their own practice calling night once a month.  In October 2011 they started their first square dance lessons and have taught several classes since.

Below are some pictures of us over the years. We've definitely grown up in the activity!
