Kathy Anderson - Getting started as a caller
Creator: Kathy Anderson (August 20, 2012)
Today, Kathy Anderson is one of the more active callers of traditional and newly-composed square dances in the contra dance world; she is a featured caller at dance weekends and camps across the country and abroad. Here, she reflects on how she got started as a caller, how she developed her skill, and how she had a difficult time being accepted in New England, in part because she was a woman and in part because of her repertoire.
