Loretta McKinney

Great fun! Thank you!

What an amazing show you put on. Everybody had a great time out on the Dance Floor. Thank you so much. It was a pleasure to meet you.

Unfortunately Some people had to cancel and our party was small, but Loretta made it a great time. Everyone loved her!

She coached us, all older adults, through several dances, and used humor to help us through. Everyone had such a good time. She kindly stayed a few extra minutes, allowing us to finish a Virginia Reel at the right point so that everyone had the complete experience. We so much appreciated her willingness to play some line dance music for those of us who wanted that experience, too.

Loretta was fantastic. I would recommend her!

Our barn dance was so much fun! Most of us hadn’t square danced in decades, if ever, but Loretta had us on our feet from the first song. She was prompt, set up in no time, and put us all at ease. This will definitely be an annual event and there’s no one else I’d rather have call it!

We hired Loretta for our senior all night party. She showed up early to set up. She had the kids up and square dancing, laughing and have a terrific time. I would hire her again.

If you make booking Loretta McKinney the first thing you do when planning your event, it will be the best decision you make. Loretta is a thorough professional and fine musician. Everything she brought to our 40-employee holiday party exceeded our expectations. Each step--from first contact, contract, program planning, setup logistics, arrival, performance and wrap-up--was prompt, timely and flawless. Our guests were delighted.

Jim and Loretta came to our church to teach some square dancing! What a fun night and great instructors!! Highly recommend!

They were great!

Loretta is amazing! Thanks for yet another fantastic evening!!

Great sound system and Loretta was very easy to work with, would hire again and highly recommend!!!!!

Loretta was a joy to work with and made it so easy to plan square dancing at our event!

My family and I truly enjoyed our time with Loretta. She was patient and did a great job giving us direction. It was a GREAT time, we’ll definitely book again.

Everyone had an absolute blast! Well executed, professional, and most of all FUN! A lot of patrons at the event are talking about doing another one soon and most definitely having Loretta call the dance. Thank you for a most memorable event!

Loretta was personable and funny. Great time! Would use her again.

Very flexible and professional. Good selection of music.
Want them back next year

Loretta was perfect! She was great calling and instructing our group of beginners and kids!

She and her husband were terrific!!

Loretta was wonderful! Very sweet and we had a terrific time square dancing at our Western Hoe Down event. Would definitely have her back again!!

Our family of 22 had a blast with Loretta and Jim at our family vacation Bathing Suits and Cowboy Boots party. We had two squares plus two babies running around and 4 extras to rotate in. Loretta and Jim could clearly make any number fun. Even the most skeptical among us surprised themselves at their square dance prowess - “you just have to listen and you can do it!” Huge smiles and Yehaws all around! Thank you, Loretta and Jim!

Loretta did a great job, went above and beyond as far as set up and availability. Interacted well with the group and help make for a great evening. We'd highly recommend her for any event with square dancing!!

Well they were willing to come all the way into the middle of nowhere. That’s big! Haha! Loretta was just wonderful!!!! We had a fantastic time learning the dances!! Her and her hubby, Jim, did amazing with our (loud, goofy) group. Everyone picked it up so fast, from 2-70 yr olds. Since she got right out there with us to help everyone along!!! Best good ole fashioned clean fun we’ve had in awhile. We got so many compliments of how great they were and a few took contact info to hopefully have their own square dance party with the McKinney’s. We Highly recommend the McKinney’s as square dance callers. They were so accommodating even thru in the chicken 🐓 dance kids (well maybe more the adults) loved it haha. My grandmas in her 90’s (pic attached) and she used to throw square dances in their barn. She so badly wanted to have one again and we were so happy she could be there to enjoy like old times! Thanks again!

Loretta walked us through the basics of the square dance so it was easier for the newbies to square dancing. We appreciated her flexibility to adapt to the needs of our group and the flow of the event. Thank you Loretta and Jim for making it a wonderful event.

We had a great time with Loretta and Jim leading the square dancing. They got people on the dance floor and were so accommodating . Everyone could join in even my 3 and 5 year olds. And everyone had a great time !

Loretta was awesome! she was so flexible as we moved the sqaure dance inside because of extreme heat! She was great teaching us dances! She also played some modern line dancing music at the end at my families request! thanks so much Loretta! we really appreciate it!
