December 2013 Square Dances

Dec. 13th (Friday night) - Christmas Potluck and Dance! George Hermann will be calling the squares (7:30 starts with plus and changes to mainstream at 8 pm) and Christina Corelli will be cueing the rounds. We will have door prizes and a split-the-pot for this festive dance.

The potluck will be at 6:30 pm with ham and rolls provided by our club.  If everyone who attends can bring a potluck dish to share, that will be wonderful. We'll need salads, veggies, and potato, noodle, or rice dishes to round out the meal. Cold veggies and dips are also good. Desserts and finger foods will be good for the break, later in the dance. (Come by 6:20 pm to bring the food for the potluck so we can finish setting up.)

November 2013 Dances

Nov. 8th: Veterans Remembrance Day Dance
Terry Halley is our caller for the evening. As most of you know, Terry also calls with "the Wild Cards" and at local festivals and for other clubs and has a really good singing voice and great patter.

Sandra Pinion is our cure for the evening and will cue level 2 rounds as well as intermediate rounds interspersed throughout the evening and at the beginning of break time.

We are still accepting cans of food and donations for Food for Lane County. Come fill the barrel!

Nov. 22nd: Western Roundup and Chilli Feed

Bruce Lowther will be calling this dance. He makes us MOVE!  When selecting his music, Bruce likes faster, up tempo music (foot tappers) and gravitates to pop country, vintage rock’n roll, Latin songs, and musicals. From 2001-07 Lowther called for the Silver City Squares in Silverton, Oregon. The Albany Timber Twirlers were blessed when he started calling for them in 2003 and he still calls for them and the Silver Spinners.  He is a member of the Capital Callers and Cuers Association and has been a member of Callerlab since 1995.

Sharon Greenman will be our cuer for the evening.  She cues for other local clubs in our area and I'm sure you've all round danced to the catchy tunes she spins. She started Square Dancing in 1979, then began cueing for Round Dances in 1989. She is a member of Roundalab, the International association of Round Dance Cuers;  Oregon Round Dance Teachers Association;  and the Cascade Callers and Cuers Association. She has cued for many clubs through the years and currently for the Oregon Timber Twirlers in Albany, and Whirl-a-Ways in Eugene/Springfield, Oregon.

October Dances 2013

From Sept 2013 Sock Hop

11th - Mike Halley will be calling and Helen Halley will be our cuer for the evening for our Octoberfest Food Drive for Food for Lane County.  Bring your cans for the food barrel or cash or check donations for "Food for Lane County" are also appreciated. Mike will get you laughing and moving to the beat.

Enjoying round dance

25th - Renee Ruud will be our caller and Christina Corelli will be the cuer for the evening for our Halloween Dance.  As a special treat - Christina will cue intermediate rounds before the main dance starting at 7 pm. Costumes are welcome and encouraged.  Last year we gave prizes for some of the best costumes - we may do this again. Here's hoping we have a chorus of "the Mash - the Monster Mash." With Renee, a fun caller with a very good voice, and our special Danebo  friend, Christina, as our cuer - we will have a twosome candy of a Halloween treat.

September dances 2013

Sept. 27th:
Craig Abercrombie is back and bringing a guest - caller Al Frazier from Texas. Al started calling in 1990 and calls for three clubs in the Austin area. He has recorded on Red Boot Label and Alliance Records. And Craig is a household word in the square dance world in Oregon and beyond. Both callers are also recording artists for Rawhide Records. This is going to be a treat - two great callers in the same night! Who could ask for more. Ah, yes, Craig will also be cuing for the round dancers - so that is more.
