Overview

Music 🎶 and Callers 🎤 for your Party! 🎉

Anybody can stream some music from their phone into a little speaker. Any DJ will be happy to setup a good sound system and play the same rocking music as your guests sit and talk.

We’re different. 🤔

We’ll setup the sound. We’ll play the music. The difference when you hire callers is: We get people dancing! 💃🕺

Want to line dance? We’ll show you the moves. A bit of contra? We’ve got you covered. Want to learn America’s official folk dance? We’ll teach your group to square dance in as little as half an hour!

We're a husband & wife duo, doing what we love! 💑

Great with groups of beginners

Diana and Adam arrived early, were flexible and made the event fun for 50 - 60 teen and pre-teen youth. If you can get them both like we did it is a special treat indeed. It was everything we had hoped for and more.

Great music at a great wedding

These guys were super great as both square dance callers and wedding DJs. They provided excellent music during the ceremony, cocktail hour, rehearsal and dancing. They also taught us to square dance and played your standard wedding pop music so almost everyone got on the floor.

Awesome and Fun Caller Duo!

What a joy! We hired Adam and Diana for my daughters 1st birthday—a hoedown. They arrived on time and were super accommodating when it forecasted rain at the last minute. I provided an easy pop up tent and they brought their own as well, just in case.

The music and range of dances they taught us were really great. Diana helped us with the steps and was very patient with the fact that many of us had never done Square dance. Adam was a great caller and humored us during many inevitable missteps lol! Between dances they DJ’d and it was just tons of fun.

They’re both square dancers themselves and I have no doubt they’d be great callers for any party situation. 10/10

Wonderful time.

This event went off beautifully. It was a western themed summer kick off party for a preschool. We had 200+ guests, half of them under five. They started with just music and then began the square dance and line dancing. Then, for the children, they switched it to ange appropriate dancing. All in all it was a very fun evening of music and dancing.
I will definitely have them back for a different themed party.

Thank you Sara for taking the time to give us a review. Adam and I enjoyed teaching everyone some square dancing and contra. It was loads of fun watching the adults teaching the children to dance the Hokey-pokey.
Thank you again for having us and we would love to do more events for your preschool.

Amazing barn dance party

They were amazing with our girl scout troop! The barn dance was a hit and the dads and girls cannot wait to do it again next year. None of them ever tried square dancing and they loved it. Easy instructions and was fun!!! They played great music during the breaks and even some line dancing was done!

Thank you for the fabulous review Angela. :-)

The dads and daughters were good sports, tried, and had fun even when they struggled. That's what these parties are all about. 🎉

About

Diana Fanello 💃
Diana’s first passion has always been in music. She’s been learning, playing, and collecting since her teen years, when she also frequented dance clubs and took up square dancing with her family.

After some years off to raise her own family, she returned to the world of squares in 2012 and a few years later, started to call square dancing. As a life-long teacher, Diana has a particular love of introducing children to dance. As a music aficionado with over ten thousand songs in her collection, becoming a DJ as well was a natural move.

Adam Fanello 🕺
Adam discovered his latent dance skills in the early 2000’s. Combined with his passion for sharing knowledge, he immediately took to assisting in square dance classes as an “angel” dancer. That has since led to learning to lead the class and dance as a square dance caller.

While his first love is the social atmosphere of a square, don’t be surprised if he jumps in to show you the way in lines, contra, ballroom, or free styling!

Adam is making his mark in the world of square dancing as the author of the Square Auto-Choreographer app, and is now able to share innovative ways of calling and teaching.

Adam ❤️ Diana
Adam and Diana met in 2012 in square dance class; Adam as an “angel” helper and Diana returning to the activity. In 2014, they married to become the dynamic duo you see today. With Diana’s deep music insights and Adam’s technical dance attunement, this complementary pair can fulfill your every dance need.
