Our goal is to make this vacation your best ever. You’ll be catered to a personally guided tour, tailored especially for the Square Dance enthusiast at one low price with no surprise add-ons, no extra upgrades, no added tax, and no added excursions. The price is the best part; only $5,570 per person, based on double occupancy. That’s it! One price includes round trip airfare from most US cities, all taxes, all your breakfasts, all your evening meals except two, all transportation, all square dance entertainment, plus all entrance fees to all the attractions listed.

For example, if the exchange rate becomes 1.47 to one dollar when you make your final payment, there will be an increase of $50 per person. To lock in your tour price, you may wish to prepay your trip early. This will enable us to move your money into Euros and your trip cost will not increase if the Euro increases in value to the dollar.

We cannot control such factors as weather, government travel restrictions, mechanical breakdowns, your physical, medical or mental disabilities, your failure to obtain proper travel documents or your failure to follow travel instructions. Every effort will be made to provide you with the service and places of interest we have described to you. However, all prices, descriptions, activity scheduling and places of interest are subject to change without notice if we feel it would be beneficial to the group. If services included in this tour cannot be supplied, or there are changes in the itinerary for reasons beyond our control, we will attempt to arrange other provisions of comparable services.

Meet Our Featured Callers Jerry Story started calling at the young age of 14 in Fairfield, IA. He married his high school sweetheart, Kristy in 1976 who was in his second beginner class. Two children, Joshua and Jacob, soon followed and his career picked up momentum. He found himself touring full time calling dances and festivals coast to coast and in a dozen different countries. Many recordings of Jerry's calling and teaching were made available to new dancers and callers throughout the world and have had a great influence in the growth of square dancing, especially in Saudi Arabia and Sweden. He has served as a Board of Governors’ member in CALLERLAB and is dedicated to the preservation of Modern Western Square Dancing. In the spring of 2002, Jerry and Kristy, along with lifetime friend and business partner Tony Oxendine, opened Pride RV Resort in Maggie Valley, NC Tony Oxendine has emerged as one of the most popular and sought after national callers for festivals and dances. His professional musical background and natural ability has enabled him to reach an incredible vocal range unmatched by any other professional caller. He is a graduate of SC University, majoring in math and computer science – a perfect match for developing a choreographic callers’ mentality. He travels over 300 days a year calling dances worldwide. He is an accredited caller coach, continues to serve on the CALLERLAB board of governors and has served as the organizations chairman of the board. Tony is the recipient of CALLERLAB’s highest honor, the precious Milestone Award. Tony is Editor of Square Dancing Today, the largest full-color, full size worldwide square dance magazine.
