Ross Howell |
 |
This man, the epitome of the tall Texan
was born and spent his early life in the area of Syracuse,
New York. He was introduced to square dancing when he was
eight years old, although it wasn't the modern western dancing
of today. Later, he and his wife were encouraged to take square
dance lessons in 1970. Both he and his wife, Sue picked up
the dancing very rapidly and have loved it from the very beginning.
Ross has always been intrigued with the choreography and in
November 1970 he called for the first time at the Mainstream
level and quickly moved on into the Advanced and Challenge
levels. In 1974 he quit is "day job" to devote more time to
calling.
The secret of Ross' fame is his smoothness
and relaxed atmosphere of his dances. Although his choreography
may be difficult, intricate, and mentally taxing, the dancers
are stimulated because the dancing flows. He insists that
he doesn't do anything special to achieve this. The characteristics
which peg him as one of the top callers in the country don't
just happen, they're the result of hard work, a natural ability,
and an inherent feeling toward his dancing floor. And it's
smoooooth, man, smoooooth!!!
