Chris Pinkham (Jean Mogan) |
|
Chris started calling in 1992. He calls throughout New England, PA, NY and TN. While he has always enjoyed calling for and entertaining western style square dance clubs, he has found enormous rewards in leading square, folk and party dances for a wide variety of beginning and "non" dancer groups. These include churches, schools, campgrounds and corporate groups. Chris shows his audiences a wide variety of dances during an evening with walk throughs and quick demonstrations which people have found to be more entertaining than an evening which uses the square dance only approach.
