Madison, Wisconsin caller Carol Ormand is beloved throughout the dance community for her smooth and unflappable style, wickedly fun dances, and penchant for keeping all the dancers on the floor smiling. Carol’s enthusiasm, paired with her clear and efficient teaching, creates a delightful dancing experience for beginners and veteran dancers alike. Carol will be in the Chapel Hill, NC area the weekend of April 12-14. She is calling for the Triangle Country Dancers regular Friday night dance on April 12th (in Carrboro, NC) and on Saturday will be leading an all day workshop designed to improve a specific calling related skill.

Calling well can be a great source of pleasure. In the workshop, each participant will get to focus on improving one calling-related skill. By the end of the day on Saturday, you will know how to make progress on the skill of your choice and on all of the other topics covered that day. Anything related to calling is fair game: creating an inviting atmosphere, programming an evening, communicating with the band, efficient yet effective walk-throughs, effective use of a microphone... whatever you most want to work on next. On Sunday, we'll gather to reflect on what we've (collectively) learned and to plan our (individual) next steps in that work.

The workshop and evening dance will be held in a private home near Chapel Hill, NC. Meals on Saturday are included in the cost of the workshop, which is based on a sliding scale between $40-$95, depending on what you can afford. If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected].
