Ghost Riders
The GHOST RIDERS are a National Square Dance Band. The opportunities that we have had are as follows: A European Tour to Poland, two square-dance cruises (Mexican Rivera and Caribbean), State Fairs, an H.B.O. Movie special called Barbarians at the gate (starring James Garner), live recorded square-dance CDs with Deborah Carroll-Jones and Dan Nordbye, ten Nationals Conventions and right now we are talking to the future National Chairpersons for the upcoming National Conventions.
Bear Miller
Bear and his wife Sandy (also know as Bear Control) are natives of Denver Colorado. He is the club caller for four clubs. Joined CALLERLAB in 1991. Has conducted over 95 Mainstream classes, 45+ Plus classes and a few Advanced. He is an Accredited Caller Coach and member of the Board of Governor's. The dancers enjoyment and success is always what's most important to him.
Mike Hogan
Mike is from La Vista, Nebraska where he lives with his wife Denise. He calls Basic through A2. Mike is an entertainer who combines smooth and interesting choreography, with outstanding vocal talents. Mike has called in 34 states, travels regularly and has been featured at many festivals, weekends, and State Conventions.
Charlie Robertson
Charlie began his calling career at the ripe old age of 12 in Southern California. He mentioned to his mother that he wanted to learn how to call. Charlie's mom contacted a local square dance caller and arranged lessons. Square dancing and square dance calling soon became a huge part of Charlie's life. Over the last 39 years Charlie has been privileged to travel the world calling dances. Charlie enjoys calling all levels from Basic through C2. He is known for his energetic style and creative choreography.
Ted Lizotte
I live in New Hampshire with my wife, Shelly, and have been calling square dances for over 30 years. I am a member of CALLERLAB - International Association of Square Dance Callers - and have been since 1991. I am on CALLERLAB's Board of Governors serving in the role of Vice Chairman. Also, I'm also a member of the GCA (Gay Callers Association) to support all those that support this great activity.
Mitchell & Chelsea Thompson
Mitchell Thompson comes from a family with an extensive background in square dancing, so it was only natural for him to get involved. He did so by learning to square dance and joining the Rocky Mountain Dancers performance group at the young age of 13. He enjoyed squares, but it wasn’t long before he discovered that his real passion was for rounds.

The Event
Location
The Avalon Ballroom
6185 Arapahoe Rd
Boulder, CO 80303
Dance Floor
Dancers covet cushioned floors because multi-layered wood provides a cushioned surface, much easier on knee and ankle joints than other surfaces.
Since 1995, volunteers from the Boulder dance community have poured hundreds of hours into laying the wood floors in the Ballroom, Sodal Hall, the Tango Studio and, most recently, the Ballroom stage.
