Welcome!

The Circulators invite you to dance with us Friday evenings at the Recital Hall in Balboa Park from 8:00 - 9:45 PM. We dance at the plus level, with rounds between tips. Steve Woodard is our caller and Rey Garza and Radka Sandeman are our cuers. Couples, singles, and children (with adult supervision) are welcome. The entrance donation is $3.00 per person, unless it is a special dance. Children 13 and under are free.

Our party night is normally every 4th Friday. Take a look at our calendar and dress up to match the occasion.

We feature out-of-town callers at our 5th Friday and other special dances. Steve will be MC'ing these special evenings.

For the hearing impaired and those wearing hearing aids, Circulators is proud to announce our sound enhancement system. With your own pocket FM radio receiver and earphones or earbuds, you can tune into the Circulators' frequency and receive the caller's voice directly. Distracting noises, reverberation or distance from the sound source will not interfere with your ability to hear the caller or cuer.

Summer Workshop

Our Summer Workshop is from 6:30 - 7:30. Steve is teaching DBD (Dancing By Definition). It's a great opportunity to learn how to dance from other than the normal, hum-drum positions. The workshop continues through September 4. $3.00 per person pays for the workshop and the regular club dance.

Class

Our beginning class starts September 11^th. New students are accepted for the first three weeks. Your first night of dancing is free! Class is held Friday nights from 6:30 - 8:00 PM in the Recital Hall in Balboa Park. $3.00 donation per person per lesson.

Square dancing is a lot of fun and good exercise. You meet people from all walks of life and all ages. Give it a try if you have never square danced, or if you vaguely remember it from your elementary school days. We think you'll like it!

Contact Kathy Ford at (619) 674-4028 or Wes & Claudia Green (619) 247-5361 if you have questions.

Caller and Cuers

He enjoys calling a challenging dance and we like him keeping us on our toes. In the San Diego county area, he also calls for the Flying A's (A2 & C1). He calls at many dances and festivals throughout California, Nevada and Arizona. Please contact Steve if you'd like to contract him for a dance.
