We are lucky to have Kenny Farris as our Square Dance caller and teacher.  He is one of the best in the Baltimore/Washington area, and has been calling and teaching for over 50 years.
Kenny Farris Bio
A list of what are called “Mainstream” calls taught by Kenny are listed below.  Usually, to attend square dancing clubs in the Baltimore/Washington area, one would have to be familiar with at least these calls.  The goal of the advanced instruction lessons here at Riderwood is for us to attain at least this level.
