30th Indiana Square and Round Dance Convention

11/10/2019

Frank & Elisa Berger, General Chairman

2019 marked the 30th Anniversary for the Indiana Square & Round Dance Convention. This was also my 10th year to call at the Indiana Convention! Time sure flies when you’re having fun.

Not only was this a special year for the state and for me, it was also exciting because my parents were the General Chairman – they did an amazing job! Shout-out to the entire Convention Board for a great event!

Friday night my family hosted the after party. We had several performances and even a live showing of Dancer Feud (in the style of Family Feud). It was a great time!

Saturday I hosted 2 Hex workshops. The morning session introduced the idea of dancing with 6 couples in a hexagon formation. During the afternoon, we learned more about how to adapt calls to the hexagon. Everyone had a great time learning and practicing something new!

Andrew and I got to call some hot hash on Saturday evening.
Thanks to Kristy for the video.

Make plans to join us next year in French Lick – November 6, 7, 8, 2020!

The 68th National Square Dance Convention did not disappoint!

I started the week at the GSI Caller School and had the privilege of learning from some incredibly talented callers. A special thanks to the staff for working so hard to support caller education.

Barry Johnson, Kimberly Curlee, Ted Lizotte, Tony Oxendine, Charlie Robertson, Scott Bennett, Dee Dee Dougherty-Lottie, Walt Burr, Brad Caldwell, Me, Jack & Sherry Pladdys, Lisa Lincoln, Al Hipkins

I spent the rest of the week calling, dancing, working the CALLERLAB booth, networking, and having an absolute blast!

A major highlight of the Convention was dancing to and calling with the Ghost Riders Square Dance Band! They were even gracious enough to stand for a picture with me! If you can't tell, I was super excited! ☺️

Glad everyone got the color memo! Black & White for the win!

I hope you enjoy these photos from the Convention. You can click on the photos to view them larger. This is not even close to a complete representation of all of the fun I had! It is always so great seeing old friends and making new ones too!

Thanks to everyone who made this week so memorable! ❤

Calling at The Villages, FL

May brought a new adventure for me - it was my first time calling in Florida! Mike & Wanda David are good friends of my family. They moved to Florida several years ago and invited me to come call for their club, The Orange Blossoms in The Villages, FL. What a fun dance! Thanks so much to Mike & Wanda for their generous hospitality and to The Orange Blossoms for such a warm welcome.
