Our callers & cuers
One club caller, a deep bench of guests, and a round dance cuer who keeps the between-tips just as fun as the tips.
Eva Murray
Club caller
Eva started calling in March 1998 with contras and traditional squares to live music, and moved to Modern Western square dancing in 2011. She runs our beginner series, Monday Plus lessons and workshops, and is known for clear teaching and a floor that laughs a lot.

Marty found square dancing in upstate New York in September 1975 and picked up the mic a year later. Since moving to Western North Carolina in 1999 he has called for clubs across North and South Carolina and Georgia. He’s a favorite at our Saturday dances, several times a year.
