Publicity Text

Bill shows his joy of camaraderie through dancing in his lively, colorful calling style.  Comfortable with calling and teaching from easy level through the Challenge 2 programs, Bill is able to entertain dancers and leave them wanting more.   Since starting as a teacher and caller in 1984, he has developed his own trademark style with specialty squares dances like true “Hexagons” and with older traditional style moves mixed in with modern choreography.

Calling Albuquerque New Mexico his base of operations for over 21 years, Bill has gained the friendship of dancers all over North America and Britain in calling at over 70 festivals, flyins, and conventions.   He lives in a Brady Bunch-style home in Albuquerque with its own dance hall, and with his biggest supporter, Danny Lee.
