Topic: |
You Don’t Have To Be A Caller To Teach SSD |
|
Program Description: |
We all want to expand the number of dancers in
our clubs, but so many areas have a shortage of available callers.
SSD – Social Square Dance - has been a highly successful
introductory dance program in many areas of the World, but what if
you’re in an area where no callers are available to teach a new
class? Kip Garvey is here to share how you don’t have to be a caller
to teach an SSD program.

Kip Garvey began calling as a teenager in 1960. Initially he was club Caller for a teen square dance club in Andover, Massachusetts. Calling for several teen and adult clubs over the years, Kip has taught dancers every year since 1960. Kip joined CALLERLAB, the International Association of Square Dance Callers, in 1979. He was elected to the Board of Governors for five years and served on the Executive Committee and as Vice Chairman of the organization. He worked and chaired several committees with special focus on dance programs and caller training. After a move to California in 1980, Kip worked regularly with Bill Davis in the development of much of the current day technical theory regarding choreographic structure and sight calling technique. Kip and Bill Davis were the first two test-certified CALLERLAB Caller Coaches and together conducted several caller training schools. As one of CALLERLAB’s first certified Caller Coaches, Kip has been the feature lecturer at several caller schools across the country and in Europe. He has authored several magazine articles and technical documents, including a recently completed book on the technical aspects of square dance choreography entitled ‘Nuts And Bolts’ and another recently completed book for newer callers entitled 'Call Me Crazy'. Kip created the first online caller training facility that went live in 2017, the Central Sierra Caller School and is actively mentoring several local callers. |
