After a year off, it was so good to be back dancing at the Indiana Square & Round Dance Convention in French Lick!

Friday evening kicked off with the President's Ball called by Tim Tyl. Later that night, I hosted an after party full of shenanigans, skits and fun!

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!

Thanks to Glinda Torvik for sharing the video of me calling on Saturday night in the main hall!

Make plans to join us next year in French Lick – November 4, 5, 6, 2022!

See you there!

I had an absolute blast calling and cueing my first dance in Kansas! Exactly 10 years ago I attended my first caller school in this exact room - what a joy it was to share this afternoon with some new KS friends!

Dance admission was a freewill donation to the CALLERLAB Foundation and the dancers raised over $200!

30th Indiana Square and Round Dance Convention

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!
