| Dean Black Caller/Instructor |
In 1997 I was asked to become the club caller for Circle N Square in my home town of Yreka Ca. With the
unexpected death of friend and caller Tony Nevison two years later, I was asked to begin calling for the
Dudes & Daisies club in Mt. Shasta. I presently call for both of these clubs which have a combined existence
of over 100 years. I am honored to be their club caller.
In 2002 & 2003 I had the opportunity to conduct classes and workshops in Anderson for the Prairie Squares
which consisted of basic thru A-2. I submitted my name to a list of potential callers, and later became their
temporary club caller. All of the clubs and dancers have helped and supported me as I continue to learn this
thing called "calling". I understand it is a tedious process, and appreciate the dancers. (the most important
thing all new callers need.) Without them I could not practice and perfect my calling skills.
I met my wife Sherrie (my rock!) at a square dance when we were teens. She was also introduced to square
dancing by her parents. They helped form the Dudes & Daisies of Mt. Shasta and were charter members. She
and I have been involved in square dancing most of our lives. We believe that square dancing is "in our
blood". Sherrie's true love is Round dancing. While I love calling, Sherrie and I like taking "road trips" where
we have the opportunity to dance together. We both enjoy Square and Round dancing, it gives us the chance
to get in a square, dance with friends, hear other callers, dance to "National Callers" and meet new people.
I am a member of Callerlab. As a member I am BMI/ASCAP licensed. I have attended caller clinics conducted
by: Daryl Clendenin, Jerry Junck, Bill Helms Doug Davis, Bill Keys and Nasser Shukayr I would like
the opportunity to call for your club event, festival, private party, see you at a dance, or meet you in a square!
