Information/Write-up

“Allemande left to the corners all,
Allemande right your partners...”
These magic words can start the most reserved hands clapping and set the laziest toes tapping in time to the rhythm. And they can be heard anywhere that people get together to enjoy themselves - from the neighbours’ barn just up the road to the swankiest ballroom in the largest city. As classic in form as the minuet... As lively as the charleston... And as much of a craze as the cha cha cha... the jaunty, light-hearted music of the square dance proves irresistible to all who come under its spell. and who is more capable of presiding over such merrymaking than the “King” himself? King Ganam of the Royal House of Hoedown, that is.

Among his many qualifications for the position are: A prize winning performance at the Pacific National Exhibition World Open Western Band Competition; featured appearances at Mart Kenny’s Ranch and Toronto’s famed Casa Loma; several tours throughout Canada and parts of the United States; the publication and recording of many of his own western and square dance compositions; and appearances on network radio and popular CBC-TV shows. In fact, ever since he received his first fiddle at the age of five, King Ganam has been pleasing members of the Square Dance Set (and that included practically everybody) with his infectious fiddle playing... So (with apologies to that well-known television square dance hostess) put a little fun in your life - try SQUARE dancing... We promise you a real ‘swingin’ time.
