Costa Rica 2023

5/7/2023

Reminiscing about the good times we had at the Rhythm Costa Rica 2 Adventure! I have so many memories and stories from the week but I'll just give you the highlights: gorgeous views, trips to the pool, bargaining on the beach, delicious food & drinks, too many games of left right center to count, shows, racoons, shopping....oh, and we even square danced too! We're already excited for next year! Stay tuned!

Wade Driver Retirement Celebration

3/26/2023

21 squares of people got together to celebrate the amazing calling career of Wade Driver today at the Swingtime Center Square Dance Hall in Fort Worth, TX.

I attended a caller school 11 years ago with Ken Ritucci & Wade Driver. If you want to take a trip down memory lane, you can read more about that trip in my blog post from 2012: Jubilee Callers School.

In 2021, I was incredibly honored to join the calling staff on Rhythm Records that Wade owns and produces. It has been my privilege to work with Wade on 2 different singing calls on Rhythm.

Wade is retiring from active calling to focus more on his music production. It was so special to see so many people get together to celebrate his amazing calling career! I can't imagine a better way to celebrate such an incredible person! Congratulations, Wade!

Fundraiser Dance

2/19/2023

Today was a special day here in Indiana! We had a great turnout and a fantastic time at the fundraising dance for the Raleighs. So proud of how the square dance family comes together to help out. All proceeds collected went to the Raleigh family to help support Kati during her battle with stage 4 cancer.

These dance leaders all volunteered their time and put on a fantastic afternoon of dancing!

Happy to see these smiling faces!

Honored to share the stage with these talented callers ❤
