I’ve been dancing since 1973, danced competitively from 1975 to 1977. I tried my hand at calling in those years. Ran into my old caller/coach Bill Metz and from the encouragement of a caller and others, I got back in to calling again. I am looking forward to getting a couple of new clubs going in the near future and doing introductory dances to show people how much fun Square Dancing can be.

A Washington native, Don has been fortunate to have traveled world-wide calling square dances. He has called in England, Australia, Mexico, Canada, The Caribbean, as well as most of the United States. He became interested in calling as a young boy, when his club caller asked him to do a singing call at a club dance. Several years later, while he was in the service, he and his wife started dancing in New Jersey, and the calling attraction began again. Music had always been a large part of his life, as over the years Don had been playing and singing in several bands, and in church choirs, so the transition to square dance caller seemed to be a natural progression.
Recently Don's wife Marie has begun cueing. As she danced rounds thru phase 5 her transition to cuer was relatively easy. They are now booking together and have become known as the "Donnie and Marie" show.
