Recently the Oakland Girl Scout Service Unit held a Barnyard Bash at Valley Middle School. The enthusiastic participants learned square dances, line dances and Virginia reels! The Girl Scouts were required to bring an adult as a dancing partner and it was evident in their faces as they danced with their partners that this was a day they would always remember.
Howard Richman was the Guest Caller. He has been calling since 1989 using a broad range of music from traditional to Paul Simon and Madonna. He choreographed and appeared in the Opera “Susannah” at the Metropolitan Opera in 1999 and the Geneva Opera, Switzerland, in 2000 in the role of…what else…the Square Dance Caller. He also Choreographed the New York workshop production of SOIL in spring 2002 directed by Daniel Kramer at Chelsea Studios, NYC.
