Welcome!

The Circulators invite you to dance with us Friday evenings at the Recital Hall in Balboa Park from 8:00 - 9:30 PM. We dance at the plus level, with rounds between tips. Steve Woodard is our caller. Richard Cartwright and Milton Alexander are our cuers. Couples, singles, and children (with adult supervision) are welcome. The entrance donation is $5.00 per person, unless it is a special dance. Children 13 and under are free.

Our party night is normally every 4^th Friday. Take a look at our calendar and dress up to match the occasion. We feature out- of-town callers at our 5^th Friday and other special dances. Steve will be MC'ing these special evenings.

For the hearing impaired and those wearing hearing aids, Circulators is proud to have a sound enhancement system. With your own pocket FM radio receiver and earphones or ear buds, you can tune into the Circulators' frequency and receive the caller's voice directly. Distracting noises, reverberation or distance from the sound source will not interfere with your ability to hear the caller or cuer.

Caller and Cuers

Steve Woodard has been calling for the club since 1981. He began square dance calling while serving in the Army in Germany. We consider him one of the best callers in the southern California area. He enjoys calling a challenging dance and we like him keeping us on our toes. He calls at many dances and festivals throughout California, Nevada and Arizona. Please contact Steve if you'd like to contract him for a dance. He can be reached at e-mail.

Richard & Judy Cartwright: Richard square danced when he was in 5th and 6th grades and enjoyed it very much. So when the kids were old enough (1991), Richard and Judy decided to give it a try. The rest of the story is a natural progression from square dancing, to round dancing between square dance tips, to becoming more and more involved in round dancing. "We enjoyed teaching a round dance class for a couple of years, but currently our situation prevents us from starting a new class. We hope to get back into teaching before long. We look forward to seeing you on the dance floor."

Milton & Karen Alexander: I have been dancing all my life. Besides square, round and line dance, I enjoy country and western, clogging, ballroom and even Charleston! In the 80's I was dancing in most of the Country Western clubs in San Diego when I noticed clogging and I HAD to learn that!! Lucky decision...Karen and I met during lessons. We've been dancing together ever since (33 years). Cueing locally with San Diego Square Dance Association and Back Country Association is where I want to be cueing. I thoroughly appreciate the dedication and hard work involved in these associations to keep dancing available to us all.
