After dancing for seven years or so, I started learning to call in early 1999 with the encouragement of my mentor, Eric Curl. I am fortunate to call regularly in Sacramento and the Foothills and sometimes in the North Bay, Reno, and Chico. I know what I like in a caller and try to embody those skills, thanks to the groundwork laid by the callers, musicians, and dancers who have built this tradition. I love dances that have an intuitive flow, and enjoy the challenge of concise teaching. I'm a member of the Foothill Country Dancers board, where my particular interest is retaining more and younger dancers.
