29th Indiana Square and Round Dance Convention

11/6/2018

I had a fantastic time at the Indiana Square and Round Dance Convention!

Friday night started out with a great dance by featured caller Tom Miller. The theme was "Back to the 50's" and I love seeing so many people dressed in 50's attire! Saturday was full with square and round dancing at all levels, workshops, competition, education sessions, and more!
Finally we ended a packed weekend with the Sunday morning Gospel Finale!

The Indiana Convention is one of my favorite times of the year because I get to see so many good friends in one place!

Join us next year in French Lick for our 30th Convention - November 8, 9 & 10, 2019!

It's always an honor to get to call with Kristy! Check out the above video of us calling on Friday night in the main hall just before the President's Ball.

67th National Square Dance Convention 2018

7/4/2018

More than 3,100 dancers attended the 67th National Square Dance Convention in Kansas City, MO. I was one of those lucky dancers! The Convention offers a variety of programming for attendees including squares, rounds, lines, contra, education panels, seminars, sewing clinics, and plenty of opportunities for networking with attendees from around the world! We danced from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM Thursday through Saturday and had an absolute blast! I had so much fun seeing old friends and making new ones too! I've posted a short slideshow below.

The highlight of my weekend was on Saturday night when I had the honor of calling with the Ghost Riders Square Dance Band for the first time! These guys are incredible and so much fun to work with. Check out the video below!

Super thanks to Eric Henerlau for taking the video! ☺
