Denny Lantz, Caller
Denny has been square dancing for 54 years, and has been calling for 44 years.  When he started calling he formed a teen club known as the Teasin' Teens.  Then in 1967, he and several dancers decided to form a club.  They wanted a unique name.  Denny was a great "Peanuts" fan and suggested something on that order. They tossed around the idea of "Snoopy Squares", but it just didn't have the right ring to it.  They finally liked "Charlie Brown Squares" and it has proven itself for over 39 years.  Denny has been club caller for many clubs in Southern Oregon: "Rooster Crow Squares", "Ramblin' Rogues", "Lords 'N Ladies", & "Siskiyou Swingers" to name a few.  Denny is currently calling for the "Charlie Brown Squares" and "Lantz's Dantzers."  He also teaches clogging for the "Misty Mountain Cloggers."
During the past 44 years, Denny has called in Oregon, California, Nevada, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada.  He has traveled to Australia and New Zealand to call festivals and was one of the featured callers on a cruise to the Caribbean/West Indies in 1978.  
Denny recorded "I'm Happy Every Day I Live" on the Stirrup square dance record label

     Bob & Dorees      
                   Dingman,Cuers

We have been square dancing & round dancing together since 1979, enjoying the activity both in our own area and all around the country.

Bob started cueing in 1999 and a year or so later we started teaching round dancing when 2 of our cuer/teachers retired.  

Bob has been a club cuer for 3 years prior to accepting the position from the Charlie Brown Squares just last April. 

We hope to continue cueing, teaching and dancing for many years to come.
