Thank you Nicki. We had a lot of fun. Great group. We are looking forward to doing it again.

Terry and Janet were fabulous. They were able to get 100+ youth square dancing and having a great time on a camp out. Even the reluctant kids were dancing with smiles on their faces by the end of the evening! Friendly, prompt, and well prepared.

Thank you Kacie. We had a lot of fun with your group. They were very easy to teach and your venue was a beautiful place.

Terry and Janet were the square dance callers at a hoedown event that my daughter planned for the night before the wedding. We were high in the mountains, at a remote site down a 1.5 mile dirt road, and there were over 120 people present and ready to dance! They were very professional in their communications with us prior to the event, and flexible in their arrangements with us for the music, allowing us to provide the traditional-style square dance music of our choice. They arrived early in colorful and delightful square dance garb, joined us for dinner beforehand with a friendly and pleasant demeanor. They deftly coordinated a large group of unexperienced square dance, organizing us in to groups of 8 and teaching us gently, step-by-step, a variety of moves that were layered on throughout the two hours of dancing. They circulated around the dance floor, giving hands-on instruction and demonstration to enable all guests to be successful with the dances. I couldn't recommend them higher!

Thank you Alice. We had a great time and we’re pleased to see so many guests participate. We had never heard about the Hideout and were impressed to see such a beautiful venue.

Terry and Janet were absolutely fabulous!!! I hired them for our small school's end of the year square dance at Emma Prush in San Jose. They got there early to set up and played background music while our students arrived. They were patient and easily taught the students many different dance steps. They even threw in a few line dances. It was a great time by all. Thank you Terry and Janet!!!!!

What a fun evening. Great group with a lot of energy. Thank you for having us at your barn dance.

Terry & Janet are amazing. The 8th grade square dance party is a school tradition. Our normal caller fell ill close to the night of the event. Terry & Janet came all the way from Modesto and saved the night. The music they chose was perfect and they were very engaging. We we’re shocked to see how fast Terry & Janet were able to instruct the guests and get them dancing. We received many praises from both parents and kids on how much fun they had. Highly recommend them for any event.

Thank you Tracy, we had a blast. Great to see teens and parents all up dancing. Let us know if we can be of service to you again in the future. Terry and Janet.
This was the second time we used Terry and Janet and it was better than the first time which I thought would be hard to do. I can not state it enough true professionals amazing people who care about what they are doing.

Terry and Janet were amazing they helped our group of high school kids who didn’t know how to square dance, dance. True professionals. Their energy was amazing. Next time we want to do square danceing with our youth group kids they will be the first and only call for square dance callers.

Response from Terry and Janet:
We knew when we arrived that we were in for a high-energy night. You guys were so much fun. We are looking forward to working with you again. Thank you.

Terry & Janet replied quickly and arrived right on time to our rather remote venue. They did a great job and were patient with our novice group, walking them through the steps and then quickly getting them moving! It was great to have both of them there to wrangle all the participants. Highly recommend!

Hi Katelyn. Thank you for having us teach square dancing at your company event. It was fun doing a 80's theme party. We were very happy with the participation and energy of your guests.

They did a great job at our party. Professional and patient.

Janet and I had a lot of fun calling for your party. Thanks for the nice review. Hope to do it again.

Terry and Janet taught 5 classrooms of 5th graders how to square dance all in one day. These were children who had never experienced square dancing before. Despite the number of kids, questions and heat (it was 95 degrees out), they remained positive and encouraging throughout the day. Our students had so much fun! We can't wait to have them back!

Terry and Janet were very knowledgeable and patient with 100 High School students. They kept the party flow going very well and the students loved it!

Terry and Janet led aa Square Dancing event for our Young Marrieds group at Crosspoint Community Church in Modesto. I'm pretty sure everyone who attended was really intimidated about the idea of dancing, but that was gone within 5 minutes of Terry getting started. He can read the room so well, he knew how to make people comfortable, but also how to push them to do more! I don't think a soul there would've thought they'd ever do the Virginia Reel, but everyone there fell in love with it! A group of folks who were uncertain at first finished the night by demanding that we do it again! Terry and Janet are professional, friendly, masters of their craft.

Terry and Janet provided their services at our wedding. Terry has a wonderful way of making square dance easy and Janet was very sweet with her hands-on help! Highly recommend!

Terry and Janet came to call for square dancing at my large country western party. They are very courteous and accommodating, and sooooo reasonably priced for this caliber of entertainment. They worked well at instructing all age groups from 5 to above 80. Highly recommend!!!! 5 stars!!! Lots of fun!

Terry and Janet did a wonderful job teaching and leading square dancing to a bunch of summer staff. Terry gave instruction from the mic while Janet helped the squares to remember where their rights and lefts were. I had them come and "call" for two hours so my summer staff to could get to know one another. This event turned out to be a tremendous team building exercise. And exercise they did! Many were surprised at how winded they became as we danced.
I highly recommend them! Thanks Terry and Janet!!

Terry and Janet led us into such a fun night of square dancing for a few years running at our Valentines Dinner Dance. We all had such a great time and will have them again next year and into the future.

Terry and Janet came to call for our church youth group of 240 kids, ages 12-18. Our youth group had never square danced before and absolutely loved it! One of the young men said, "It was the most fun dancing he had ever had!"
Terry and Janet were very patient, professional and helpful as they taught our youth how to square dance. If we ever have the need for square dance callers again, I would most definitely ask Terry and Janet!

Thank you Carol. Your party was a lot of fun. Here is a link to a video I took at your barn. http://youtu.be/G2S3-_AGPf8

My kids loved learning to square dance, even my boys. I appreciated how the steps were appropriate for their age level and the songs were ones they had heard on the radio. Janet made sure they knew the steps and helped where needed.

Terry and Janet are amazing. For the past 5 years, they have come to Hickman Charter School for our annual Oregon Trail living history day. Terry and Janet are at the end of the trail helping us celebrate with a square dance. Within 45 minutes, they introduce over 50 young students and their parents to the square dance experience. The students always leave with smiles on their faces and the parents are appreciative of the magic that Terry and Janet bring to their kids. What person doesn't remember their first time square dancing? They are truly fun memory makers!
Square Dance Caller

Terry and Janet hosted the square dance fun at our winemaking club's recent barm party. There were 40 of us, all beginners. They did a fantastic job of engaging the group, teaching us, and giving us a breather when we needed one. Excellent music, pacing, patience and good humor. We laughed and danced and whooped the night away. Thank you, Terry and Janet!
