Ray Ayers - Square Dance Caller

Good at calling square dances but did not call dances for the full hour and a half.
Also played music that was inappropriate for a Christian homeschool cooperative- we gave him a playlist but he played the wrong one until we insisted that it wasn’t what we sent him.

Ray absolutely crushed it at the party. We held a 60th birthday party for my father-in-law who always wanted to try square dancing and line dancing. I was able to find Mr. Ray Ayers through this website and we immediately started messaging back and forth on details. He was very quick to respond with recommendations and we quickly figured out what would work best for my family's needs. Mr. Ray Ayers was also extremely accommodating. Our first venue option fell through because it was closed du to the Thanksgiving holiday. We were able to switch venues, this one being further away and Ray was able to still support our event with no problem or interruption to our plan.

Ray arrived early and had everything needed for our event. He set up and was ready to go right on time. He managed the clock really well, gave breaks as he saw we needed them, and provided professional guidance and instruction. We had 7 small kids participating and he was very patient with them as he taught the group the calls. This was the first time for 90% of the group. He led us through each step slowly and we learned how to do the dances. Very soon, we were dancing, laughing, messing up, and trying again. The whole evening was so much fun. Talking with my family members, the Virginia Reel was a favorite.

I highly recommend booking Ray Ayers for your event!

Ray worked with our schedule and was flexible with the timing. When we didn't have enough people for 2 squares but there were plenty watching he improvised. He ended with the Hokey Pokey, Macaraina and line dances so even those sitting could join in. He made it a successful event for our church 100th anniversary.

Ray did a great job with our group. We had a lot of beginners and he did a wonderful job teaching us the steps! I highly recommend Ray for your next event for a great evening!

He called for my mother’s 60th birthday party. We were all beginners but he was great at coaching us through everything and had us dancing and laughing in no time!
