At the time of their relocation to Calgary, Alberta in 1982 Dennis and wife Frances were calling and cueing for clubs on both sides of the U.S. Canadian Border.
Since moving to Calgary, Dennis and Frances now call and cue for 4 Square Dance clubs in the Calgary area at levels from Basic thru to Plus. Dennis' fine singing voice can be heard on Ocean Wave Records where he has recorded for several years.

Frances Levitt Cueing Rounds
Frances
started cueing Round Dances in 1979 while Dennis & Frances were Callers
for the Circle Squares in Omak WA
Since
that time Frances has cued at various Festivals and dances in Canada and
the US and at Trail-In Dances for National Conventions. She cues dances
through to Phase IV with some Phase V.
Frances
is also an accomplished Clogger and does some instructional work with clogging
at various weekends.
As
well as cueing Round Dances at the Square Dance Clubs which Dennis and
Frances call, they have Pre-Rounds at all of their dances Frances writes
a lot of the round dances that she uses at the clubs they call and cue
for. Frances enjoys music and if the music feels like there should be a
dance to it, Frances gets busy and writes a dance. Several of these dances
have been published.
