Gary Winter
Gary was only 8 years old when he started square dancing back in 1984. During his first lessons he decided then, that he wanted to become a Square Dance Caller and so in 1986 Murray Few started teaching Gary the basic techniques of Square Dance Calling. Gary has attended several caller schools in Canada and the USA, most recently a GSI school with Tony Oxendine and Jerry Jestin.
Gary became a club caller for the Swinging JJ’s Teen Club in 1988. Over the years Gary has been a club caller for 9 different Square Dance Clubs, and has traveled throughout Western Canada, Western USA, Germany and Austria calling weekend specials and festivals as well as several Provincial, National and World Conventions. He currently is the regular Wednesday night Club Caller for Leduc Happy Homesteaders.
Gary is a resident recording caller with Shindig Productions and has 4 releases to date. You can hear them at http://shindigproductions.co.za
When Gary is not calling Square Dances, or being “Dad”, he has a full time job as shop foreman, at L.A. Nissan. Gary also likes to spend time outdoors, camping, downhill skiing, quading, snowmobiling and various water sports with his 2 sons Coen and Kaiden and his wife Trisha.
