Peg Hesley’s
2007 Contra Dance Calling Schedule

Peg’s Calling Photo

Peg Hesley has enjoyed calling for nine fun-filled years. Three years ago she moved to Phoenix, AZ from the Baltimore-Washington area and has continued to teach workshops and call contras and squares throughout the southwest. Known for her elegant programming as well as her clear and eloquent teaching style, she is a favorite among experienced and new dancers alike. Peg is the founder of the Callers’ Collective in Phoenix and co-sponsors a free Dance Potpourri every 4th Sunday. She has been called “the most fashionable caller in the world.”
