Brooke Friendly (Oregon, USA) is known for her warm yet commanding

sense of humour and whimsy. She has a strong sense of what makes for a
good community and she makes the learning experience fun and relaxing.
A dancer for more than 30 years, Brooke co-leads a weekly English and
Scottish dance, calls Contra and family dances, and has been on staff
at camps, weekends, festivals, and workshops throughout North America
and in the UK. Also a dance choreographer, she, with her husband Chris
Sackett, has published five dance books (Impropriety Vols. 1-5) and
produced five CDs with the band Roguery.
