Mike Seastrom, our instructer
Mike Seastrom has been dancing since 1960 and calling since 1963. He started dancing after losing a bet to his mother and calling when he tried to show his 6th grade teacher what “square dancing was really like.” He taught his first class in 1963 after borrowing money from his folks to buy a small sound system and was able to pay them back before the class ended.
Mike teaches and calls all levels of square dancing from beginning to advanced. He prompts Contras, and also enjoys doing dance party events when his schedule allows. He is a strong advocate for the Multi-Cycle Method of teaching new dancers. Mike currently enjoys a very successful program with Buckles and Bows Square Dance Club in Thousand Oaks, CA. Mike records for Rhythm Records, and has been on staff at the Rhythm Records Caller School, and helped produce an Introduction to Contra Dancing for R & R Video with the California Contra Callers Association.
Calling has given Mike the opportunity to trvel extensively in the United States, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Australia, and Japan. Mike enjoys enjoys dancing as well as calling and feels that “dancing as a team of eight” is the world’s best social and physical recreation.
