Dan was amazing!! He helped our youth get engaged and everyone had a fantastic time!
Response from Dan Clairmont Square Dance Caller/Instructor:
Thank you, Brandon , Gail and I had so much fun with your group and they looked like they were having so much fun.
Dan was awesome with our homeschool group. For us, it was all about having fun and Dan was great instructing our vast range of ages, from 5 year olds to grown adults. Everyone had a fantastic time. We will definitely do this again!

Response from Dan Clairmont Square Dance Caller/Instructor:
Thank you so much! We had such a great time with your group. Let's do it again soon.
We had such a great time at our event. Dan and his lovely wife lead our school through a wonderful evening of square dancing. He was very patient (there were lots of kids!) and taught and communicated in a way that made it fun for all. I highly recommend Dan!
We had a wonderful evening with Dan and his wife. They were great and just what we were looking for as a family fun evening. Great communication before the event to make sure it was just perfect. Arrived on time and was very professional. Would highly recommend.
Response from Dan Clairmont Square Dance Caller/Instructor:
What a great family I got to work with on teaching them square dancing and a few line dances last night. Drew and his family were so much fun and friendly and willing to just learn and play and let loose to have fun! Love this group and hope to do it again sometime.
Dan was great!! We had such a wonderful time, loved it!
Very age appropriate for our students and dads. Very fun and friendly. Easy going and accommodating. Would hire again!

Dan began square dancing in 1988 with his wife Gail. In 1989 they joined the Ramblin’ Rogues Square Dance club in Mission Viejo, CA. After many years of dancing and being officers in the club he started to help the beginners class “pre-warm-up” the 30 minutes before each class. He got hooked and the bug of becoming a caller became quite clear. At the SD Nationals in Long Beach, CA in 2009 he took his first caller class. He then took a second caller class at the SD Nationals in Louisville, KY in 2010 and called for the first time there. His first professional dance came in September of 2010 for the Dancing Stars with 14 squares of supportive friends. He picked up other dances and guest tips along with teaching his own Plus-Level DBD workshop. He now calls all over California from Mainstream through A1. Dan’s father (Ray Clairmont) was a caller for over 40 years in California and was a major influence for Dan.
A singer all of his life, Dan has been in many church choirs. Dan calls over 50 dances a year, including California and Texas State and National conventions.
Dan has called for a number of clubs in Southern California and teaches his own Plus-level DBD workshop. Dan has taught 5 square dance beginners classes ((phone number hidden)5) for the Church mice Square Dance Club in Garden Grove, CA. Dan now resides in Georgetown, Texas and is a club caller for the Killeen Kickers and started his own club - Hill Country Squares. Dan loves Square Dance calling and singing to modern music and is an entertainer for Square Dance Party Nights at private hoedowns and western themed events in the local community. Dan even teaches and calls square dances at wedding receptions, bat Mitzvah's and any fun celebration.
I provide all my own sound equipment and music. I am BMI and ASCAP Licensed and insured by CallerLab - International Association of Square Dance Callers.
