I am on a joint committee of square dancers and
callers who are promoting caller training in the UK. We would like to hear
from experienced teachers of English (or possibly Scottish or Welsh) country
dancing who would like to cross-train as callers. A good knowledge of the
Playford repertoire would be helpful. We can provide caller schools and all
the basic training in square dancing that you need to teach at Mainstream
level, and will provide a mentor if required. We are especially short of
women in this line of work but everyone is welcome.
I have responded to this to ask if any of the Training offered will be in
our patch (they're based in the Midlands). And for a rough idea of the costs
involved.
I have not heard back yet - so if you're interested you should contact
direct now. 1d x
