Profile in Callers and Cuers

Thorsten started calling in 1979 for the "Pader Jumpers" in his hometown Paderborn, Germany where he learned to dance in 1977. Here, he called MS clubnights and classes for 20 years. His Plus & Advanced Club "HANG LOOSE" is still up and running in downtown Paderborn.

Since those early days he has enjoyed calling in the USA (Florida, Texas, Hawaii), Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Czech Republic and Switzerland.

Together with his buddy, Kenny Reese, he organized two Square Dance Cruises that brought them along with Stefan Foerster and Robert Bjoerk to the Caribbean.

As a member of ECTA he has served a number of years on the board as Secretary and later as Vice President. He is also a member of CALLERLAB.
