Janet has been folk dancing for more than 30 years.  She originally got involved in dance as a way to meet people. Little did she know that she would fall in love with folk
dance and the music.  

She got involved with teaching English Country dance because the San Diego dance community needed callers. Now she teaches for the love of the dance and finds that teaching dance helps others express this love. She hopes
that through her teaching, people will explore their own enjoyment of dance, music and the social aspects of the
folk dance community.

Janet has attended several workshops for teachers/leaders of dance including an intensive weekend led by Bruce Hamilton, the Music for English Dance Leaders workshop led by Gene Murrow, and the Dance Leadership workshop led by Scott Higgs.

Janet is involved with many types of dance. For four years she danced on the San Diego Moreton Bay Fig Morris dance team. She has been active in the Scottish Country Dance
Society in San Diego for 21 years. She has been on several demonstration dance teams. You may also find her dancing Contradance, Cajun & Zydeco and Ballroom.

Janet works as a tour guide locally in San Diego and several times a year, as a tour manager,
she takes groups on tour throughout the United States and Canada.
