Come Dance with Me is now on WordPress!

So, you've probably noticed that I haven't been keeping this blog up. I've moved it to WordPress and have been keeping it up there.
While I like the looks of this blog better, this one I have to wait until I can get onto my laptop to write, which I'm seldom on as well as being connected to the internet and use a special editing app to do anything. Those are just too many stars that have to align to do anything on here.


WordPress is much easier to use and I can type the program out right away on my phone and get it out the same day pretty much. While it isn't as pretty and doesn't have many template choices, it's probably enough for this little blog.


So, come on over there and click the link to follow me or to get my blog by email. Here is the link to bookmark the site. Drop by and say hi and leave a comment to let me know you've been by.

Since this posting is coming so close to Christmas, let me take a moment to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful, prosperous and Happy New Year!

Welcome Again

Welcome to my new Come Dance With Me 2 blog/website location.
I've successfully managed to manually create most everything before realizing there's a migration tool. So, I'm glad to say I won't have to lose all the old blog posts as I used the migration tool to migrate all those over.


I'm mostly up and running I guess. There will still be lots of tweaks and such to come as I learn more about this tool and what I can and can't do. It's a lot more finicky than WordPress was, but I'll see if there's a more direct way. I found an "app" for my Windows 10 laptop which I can do most of the editing and setup on but I'm hoping to use my phone for day-to-day live posts again.


Anyways, check it out. The content is mostly the same. I hope all the links still work and don't point back to WordPress any more. I tried most of them already, but I'm sure a few will slip through.


Let me know what you think and what you might want to see on it and I'll see what it takes to make it happen. I'm still new at this... :)

See you in a circle or square soon!

Website Updates

It's been awhile, but I've finally got the website updated and hope to post new content regularly. I've added some new pages and information, and updated my current cueing schedule for 2017. It's a live page, so it gets updated as the year goes on, so check back every once in awhile for updates. I'm still experimenting with some of the other features of the website - if I can use them somewhere or not and whether they're doing what I think they should be doing or not. I'll mention whether it's being tested and what can be done as a backup. Right now I'm experimenting with the contact me form. Anyways, just thought I'd post a quick note letting you know about all the updates..

I've got a new club!

Well, it's not exactly new anymore, I'm just horrible with blogging. Starting in late 2015 as a substitute then turned official in 2016, I've been the club cuer for Sunnyvale Squares, a plus square dance club dancing in Sunnyvale, California. We dance to our caller Jim Osborne on Thursday evenings at Martin Murphy Jr. Historical Park, 190 California St. Sunnyvale, CA 94086.

Our program for the evening is:

7:00 Pre-rounds, typically Phase 2 to 5 depending on the floor. Starting with the higher phases and working our way down to Phase 2 for everyone to join in.

7:30 Plus Squares with Jim Osborne calling and I do double rounds between the tips. Typically Phase 2-4 during the dance portion.

We end our dance evening at 9:30pm.

Rhythms I usually cue are: Waltz, Two-Step, Cha, Rumba, Tango, Foxtrot, Mambo, Quickstep, Bolero, Jive and Slow Two Step and mixes of those.

You are more than welcome to join us for an evening dance if you're in the area.

Invitation to Star Eights

Here is your invitation to Dance With The Stars!

Every Sunday evening, members and guests of the Star Eights square dance club get together for some A2 level square dancing with Bob Elling and Phase 2-4 round dancing with Barbara Lynn Smith. Be sure and drop by and join us for some fun, fellowship and friendship set to music!

Welcome!

Welcome to my web site! I named my site "Come Dance With Me" after one of my first choreography ventures which got voted Round of the Month (ROM) by our local round dance teacher's association, NCRDTA, Northern California Round Dance Teachers Association.

I currently cue for the Star Eights advanced (A2) square dance club in San Jose. We dance each Sunday evening (including some holidays). Be sure to come visit our club when you're in the area. Details can be found here.

There are several upcoming hoedowns and festivals where I will be cueing, so feel free to 'Come Dance With Me' at one of the listed dances. I look forward to seeing you on the dance floor!
