| Dean Black Caller/Instructor Callerlab Member |
I was introduced to Square Dancing by my parents. My father was also a caller calling in many areas. In his
later years he spent much of his time in Yuma Arizona, where he continued to call and built the Yuma Square
Dance Center.
I was asked to become the club caller for Circle N Square in my home town of Yreka Ca. in 1997. 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.
I also had the opportunity to conduct classes and workshops in Anderson Ca. for the Prairie Squares during
2002 & 2003 which consisted of basic thru A-2. During that time 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 Cascade Caller School
Silver State Caller College, and Pride Caller College I have also had the opportunity to produce four square
dance records. Please click the music links below to hear a sample of my music. 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! Feel free to contact
me. If you would like to attend a dance I am calling please visit my calling schedule.
