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 Square Dance Clubs, Round Dance Fund Raisers, as well as at EOSARDA and SVSRDA dances. She has also cued at T&D Conventions in St. Catherine's, Ontario as well as at the International Roundalab Conventions in Charlotte, North Carolina and Dearborn, Michigan. Most recently she cued at the US National Convention in Detroit, Michigan.
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.
Gerry has volunteered to help as a Round Dance Leader for Festival 2014, the Canadian National Square and Round Dance Convention to be held in Ottawa. Gerry is currently the Secretary of the local (EOSARDA) Round Dance Teachers Association and both Gerry and Jim have served as members of the EOSARDA Board of Directors.
Dancing keeps us happy, healthy and busy
The world is full of so many wonderful dancers!
