Hello, and welcome to my web site!  You are visitor # . My name is Henry Israel.  My wife Barbara & I have been married for 40 years.  I started square dance calling in 1972 and have been calling for clubs, festivals, jamborees, and special dances & events ever since.

I have called in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Tennessee, California, Florida, Missouri, Florida, North Carolina, Indiana, Washington State, Alaska, Hawaii, Panama, Belize, and British Columbia. I am an Accredited Caller Training Specialist, Accredited Teacher/Instructor, a charter member of the Oklahoma Callers & Teachers Association, member of the Central District Callers and Cuers Association, serving as treasurer, and am currently Immediate Past President of the International Organization of Dance Leaders, American Callers Association and Past President of the Central District Callers and Cuers Association of Oklahoma.  I record on Cascade, Longhorn and Rockin M Labels and currently have out the following titles: Girls Girls Girls; Fever; Gold & Silver; Jose; Ring Around Your Neck, Roly Poly, My Kind of Love, Easy Money, and A Way With Women. I currently have two new releases ready to go after the first of the year. You may go the www.rockinm.com and listen to a "sound bite" of My Kind of Love, Easy Money, & A Way With Women..

I call the American Callers Association program, or the Callerlab program through the Plus level.  I call for three clubs, two clubs in the Oklahoma City area, and one in Lawton, Oklahoma; Circle 8 Square Dance Club in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the oldest continuously dancing square dance club in the world, formed in 1937, and have called for them, as only their third paid caller, since September 1978.  I also call for FunTimers square dance club in Midwest City, Oklahoma and have called for them 10 years. They are the only club, that I know of, that has had four (4) National Square Dance Convention General Chairmen as members!! Three members of the NEC at one time!!! One of the member couples, now deceased, Pete & Ester Hughes, have the only life size statue of square dancers in the world. And, the third club is, the Star Promenaders, in Lawton, Oklahoma., another phenomenal group of people

I love to call out of town dances and welcome the opportunity to do so.  Until recently, Barbara & I shared the week's program in Red River, New Mexico calling square dances with our good friends and fellow caller Danny & Sharon Payne.  Danny  and I are co-owners of SquareDancing.com.  If you haven't visited there yet, you should.  You can list your club and/or association for FREE! If you are a caller or cuer you can register yourself,  let folks know where and when you are calling.  But be sure and list your club, at least!

Danny and I have sponsored many cruises, including two to Alaska, several to various parts of the Caribbean, Mexican Riviera, and of course, Hawaii. Square Dancing is a great hobby, don't you think??
