 Gerry & Jim began Square Dancing in the Fall of 2001. They soon became interested in Round Dancing and joined a Round Dance Club in March of 2002. They have continued taking Round dance lessons weekly since that time. They enjoy dancing various rhythms (Waltz, 2-Step, Foxtrot, Cha Cha, Bolero, Jive, Rumba, Mambo, Quickstep, Slow Two Step, & Tango).In the past, Gerry has cued locally at EOSARDA and SVSRDA dances, at a camping weekend for Riverside Gypsy Squares, at T&D (Toronto and District S&RD) Conventions as well as at the International Roundalab Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. In the Summer of 2006, Gerry and Jim attended the East Coast Leader/Cuer College in Salem, New Hampshire. Realizing the necessity to keep their techniques and knowledge up to date, each year they travel to attend conventions and special dances where they can learn current round dances and upgrade their own skills. In the past they have attended Canadian National Conventions, a US National Convention, and countless Festivals and Special weekends both at home and away. In May they spent a weekend of intense Round Dance lessons and dancing at Honesdale, Pennsylvania. In June of 2009 they attended the International Square and Round Dance Convention in Saskatoon. Gerry has volunteered to help as a Round Dance Leader for Festival 2014, the Square and Round Dance Convention to be held in Ottawa. In addition to teaching a beginner Round Dance Class, taking lessons to advance their own dancing, and being resident Cuer Couple for the Capital Steppers PLUS club in Ottawa, they have been invited to cue at The Trackers special party nights. Dancing keeps us happy, healthy and busy. Gerry and Jim are members of: |
