Adam has been involved in square dancing his entire life—so much so that he learned to walk at a State Square Dance Festival. At the age of three, he learned his first singing call and quickly became known as a “one-record caller,” sparking a lifelong passion for the art of square dance calling.
By age six, Adam called at his first Montana State Square Dance Festival, and at twelve he began calling and teaching for his first club. That club later became the Montana Mavericks, where he continues to serve as club caller.
Adam has called throughout the United States and internationally in Japan, Canada, and Scotland, and has been featured at numerous festivals, weekends, cruises, and special events. He calls and teaches Basic through A2 squares, is a CALLERLAB member, and is BMI/ASCAP licensed.
In 2013, Adam joined the staff of Rhythm Records. In 2024, he became the owner and producer of Rhythm Records and currently serves as Chairman of the CALLERLAB Music Producers Committee.
Adam resides in Spokane, Washington with his wife, Samantha, and their four children, who are often seen dancing alongside the square dance community.

“Square and round dancing saved my life!” Erin began square dancing in 1969 and round dancing in 1972. In 1974 she joined the Silhouettes, a premiere teen round dance exhibition group under the direction of Betty & Bob Dean. Soon she was cueing local dances.
Between 1978 and 1985, Erin took time off from cueing, but not dancing. In 1985, she and Scot became a team and he encouraged her to begin cueing/teaching again. Since then she has been featured round dance instructor at festivals in Utah, Alaska, California, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.
Erin has choreographed popular dances including “Time in a Bottle” (WZ III), “Daydream Believer” (FT III+2), “Cinnamon” (TS II+1), and “Feel It Still” (TS II+1). In 2016, their phase II+2 waltz “Life is a Slow Dance with You” was chosen as the ROUNDALAB Round of the Quarter. She is currently chairperson of The ARTS, an international organization supporting and promoting square/round/contra dancing, and also the Past President of the Northern California Round Dance Teachers Association.
Cueing and teaching through phase 4, and following in Betty’s footsteps, Erin believes her job is to help people love Round Dancing!
