What is Round Dancing?
How is Round Dancing different from Ballroom?

Ballroom gives you the technical aspect of how to complete dance figures. While Round Dancing gives you the variety of dancing as high a level as you want to, with out competing. Round Dancing is strictly recreational! Read this article "Ballroom vs Round Dancing" from a Ballroom teacher just learning about Round Dancing for the first time.

Both Allen and Carol began dancing at a young age. At 13, six years after he started to square dance, Allen was asked to join a teenage square dance exhibition group, the Stardettes, and performed at National Square Dance Conventions in Seattle & Anaheim. After taking ballet lessons at an early age, Carol started square dancing when she was 10. She joined a round dance exhibition group called the Silhouettes at age 12 and performed with them for seven years at many dances and conventions in California and across the United States.

They met when dancing at the Conventions and married in 1975. There was a break in their dancing activities from 1976 until moving in 1994 to Indiana, where they didn't know anyone. So, what better way to meet people than to start dancing again? They started taking both square and round dance lessons and fell in love with dancing all over again. In 1997 they started cueing and teaching and now teach beginner through phase VI levels.

Al and Carol have been featured leaders at several weekend festivals in the US and Canada and have taught at the URDC National Convention and the National Square Dance Conventions. They host several phase II-VI all day round dances and phase IV-VI weekends during the year. They belong to Dixie Round Dance Council, Roundalab & Universal Round Dance Council. They are currently on the Board of Directors of Roundalab & URDC.

They continue their education by attending various weekends given through out the year, as well as Roundalab Annual Convention, National Square Dance Convention, URDC Annual Convention and Round-A-Rama Institute. They also attended East Coast Round Dance Leader College in July 2001, and take weekly lessons with Ballroom Instructors Bridgett Scott, Midwest Smooth Champion and Christina Ilo, National 10 Dance Champion.
