Featured Callers & Teachers
Janine Smith - Janine Smith calls Contra, Square, Family, and Ceilidh dances in the Washington, DC area. She

Glen Echo, MD to Seattle, WA and specializes in whoopin' it up, regardless of dance formation. Known for her
“Singing Squares”, she is one of the “Hot Square Babes”, a quintet of callers who throw a monthly Square
Dance Party in College Park, MD, and a founding member of the DC Square Dance Collective.
Trevor DeWitt - Trevor DeWitt has clogged since the age of 7 in the Louisville, KY region and was the
instructor of the Riverside Cloggers in New Albany, IN. Trevor shares his talents with the Southern Way
Cloggers on Sundays. He is a Certified Clogging Instructor and a member of the CLOG Board of Directors.
Trevor is also the host of the Swing into Spring clogging workshop held in Lake Cumberland State Park in
Kentucky
Chip Summey - Chip has been clogging for a number of years. He has traveled throughout the world as a
workshop instructor, judge, event promoter, and dancer. Chip is currently a board member for the National
Clogging Hoedown Council. He resides in Asheville, NC.
Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly - This husband-wife duo, Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly, present
delightful programs of traditional American and Celtic folk songs, a capella pieces, old-time gospel songs,
dance tunes, and original works.
Music by: The Old 78’s
Featuring Carole Anne Rose, and Ray & Melanie Palmer
The Old 78's music recreates the WILD ENERGY and DRIVING FORCE of the great Hillbilly Fiddle Bands. It is
almost impossible to describe the fun that these musicians can create with really big saxophones, surprisingly
small banjos to extremely huge banjos plus many-sized banjos in-between, not to mention fiddles and a kazoo.
