FairJohn was very professional and was very easy to talk to and work with. He brought a lot of fun and laughter to the fair. For me personally, it brought back memories of my younger days when we used to go square dancing almost every weekend.

Backyard Party Was A Succcess Thanks To John!

Private PartyI highly recommend John. We had a backyard party with about 150 guests: adults and children. John arrived early enough to set up. He had all of my guests enganged and dancing the whole time. His instructions were simple and easy. It was soo much fun! My friends are still talking about our unique and fun summer party. We are planning on making it an annual event using John!

Birthday PartyThis is the fourth time we have hired John for one of our children's birthday or graduation parties. This time many of the teens had no previous square dancing experience. John does an amazing job of getting them involved and relaxed so they feel comfortable getting out on the floor. In a short time they were all participating and really having a good time. He is very encouraging and does an excellent job teaching them how to do square and line dances. We look forward to the next event we can have him lead.

ReunionOur group had stopped having our annual square dance because we couldn't find a great caller. We decided to try again this year when John was recommended. Everyone had a great time. John did an awesome job in explaining each new dance. Each person there felt very comfortable in trying something new!

Private PartyEveryone had a GRAND time with the variety of music we had at our party! The line dancing was enjoyable for our guests and so many people had a terrific time square dancing! Even my nephew chose his mother for his partner for these activities. John was a great person with whom to work. He was so considerate and understanding about a few changes that occurred and he was absolutely fine adjusting to the various needs of our guests. Thanks, John, for making our party a success!

Anniversary PartyJohn traveled 4 hours to do an anniversary party for my in-laws and the party was great. The dancing he directed really made it a hit. Everyone had a good time and want to do it again. At the last minute we had to change the party time from 1 pm to 5pm and John had no problem changing his plans to come. He always returned my calls quickly too, which was nice. Would hire again!

WorkshopJohn worked with our members who have developmental disabilites as a square dance instructor/caller for five weeks. This was a new experience for all of us and with a few adaptations, John was able to connect with and provide a great learning experience to our participants. The fun factor was high! I would highly recommend John as a caller and plan on seeking his services again next year.!

At first, many were reluctant to join, but John's energy and encouragement had many off their seats and enjoying the fun. Many in the church are still talking about it 2 weeks later. I highly recommend John for any church events.

FundraiserMetro Early College High School held it's 2nd annual "MetroThon", a 6-hour dance marathon fund raiser for Nationwide Children's Hospital. This year we decided to try adding square dancing as an activity for the event. We found Mr. Wargowsky through OSU's 4H organization. He was very easy to reach and to work with for this event. He took the time to learn about our school and our intent for the evening and helped make sure the students had a great time while learning something new.
I am already thinking of what we might be able to do with the square dancing activity next year to increase the fun for our students and visitors. Mr. Wargowsky was professional and knowledgeable.

Private PartyOur party was quite a challange for John. It was an engagement party which included lots of out of town guests that hadn't seen each other for quite some time. There were alot of interuptions while he was teaching us the dances. John remained very calm and understanding while alot of social interuptions took place. He is a very good teacher of square, round, and line dancing. Everyone had a great time.

Response from John Wargowsky:
I love helping people celebrate special occasions. It was a pleasure to adjust to the social needs of those attending the dance. Thanks, Judy.

ReunionJohn did a fabulous job as an entertainer who called square dances, teaching dances to those who did not know anything, and interspersed circle and line dances. Everyone had such a fabulous time that we are planning to have him back. We are adding a day to the reunion so we can continue to have the dances with John. He was espcially good in showing people how to do the steps in a very fun manner.

Private PartyJohn is an essential part of the success of our annual 'Hog Roast and Hoe Down' party. Each fall, since 2002, we have a party for friends. Everyone dresses in western attire, we roast a hog, sit around a camp fire and Square Dance. Most of us are in our 40's and have not square danced since we were in school, so everyone is out of their element. A few need some liquid encouragement, but once we start, everyone has a blast. It is the first question everyone asks when we send out the invites; 'Is John going to be there?' John is great with a crowd, explains each move and has a ton of patience for those of us who are not light on our feet. John is very adaptable to the needs of the dancers and is creative with some of the moves, especially on the last dance. We also do some line and slow dancing. At times, we are doubled over from laughing from so hard. Even the spectators have a wonderful time watching. It is also a great way to work some of the roasted hog. At the end of each party, I book John for the following year. You will not go wrong with John!

Private PartyJohn has provided DJ service with line dance instruction for the past 4 years at our county fair. We have a family barn dance every year in which the youth do traditional 4-H line dance, square dancing, and general dancing. The song/music variety hehe has is wonderful and he works very hard to make sure any request are played. He has been extremely flexible with the time often extending the hours of the event on the spot when requested. John provides an excellant evening of music and fun for everyone.
