FEATURED CALLER: JACK COWAN
Jack began calling in 1981. He attended a caller school in Tennessee that taught him the mechanics of square dance calling. He has continued to hone his ability to call, and thoroughly enjoys showing the dancers a good time. He credits the dancers for helping him to make his calling a success. He has a longtime relationship with four clubs, one of which was a kids' square dance club. Anyone dancing to Jack quickly realizes how much he loves to call and finds his love of the activity infectious.

FEATURED CUER: CHERYL MANLEY
Cheryl and Geof took their first round dance class in the fall of 2000 and fell in love with this activity. Teachers encouraged Cheryl to start cueing, but it wasn't until the sudden death of one of their instructors in 2013 that she began cueing, and teachng with Geof. While living in Oregon, they taught and cued at all levels for several different round dance and square dance clubs, as well as the state summer and winter festivals, and started writing choreography. Cheryl has cued at events in several other states and at ICBDA.
The Boise Valley Square and Round Dance Center has a 7200 square foot wood dance floor, with a movable wall that can separate the floor into two separate dance halls. Plenty of room for lots of dancers, and a great floor for lots of dancing fun!
During the day the center will be split into two separate halls, with square and round dancing from 9-11 and 1-5, in each hall on each day.
In the evening, the center will be opened to one large hall, with mainstream squares and two rounds between tips each evening.
