Tim Merino's History:
I began Square Dance calling in 1980 in Oroville California. The clubs I
called for were the Chico State Allemanders, Sierra Steppers, and the
Table Mountain Stompers. It was a busy time. Calling 3 or 4 nights a
week was not unusual. I stopped calling in 1984.
My wife Liz and I re-entered the activity as “Retread” dancers in the
last couple of years. That old “calling bug” was calling my name every
time I stepped into a square dance hall and heard the music. After some
encouragement from dancers I taught over 30 years ago and some
“boundary” discussions with my wife, I decided to dust off the old
microphone and begin calling again. I recently joined Callerlab, and
with that comes membership in BMI and ASCAP which provide music
licensing and insurance.
We’re now calling on a regular basis. As we get more calling exposure,
more inquiries are coming in for party dance bookings. It’s exciting to
see the dancers interest and reaction to our calling efforts. Keeping
everyone fully “entertained” is something I truly strive for.
My square dance calling philosophy is to challenge the experienced
dancers as much as possible while allowing the not so experienced
dancers a chance to participate and grow. I enjoy the calling and the
teaching. Everybody should be having as much fun as possible! We would
love to see you on the dance floor! |
