Tony Parkes

Welcome to Tony's page! Here's a little about him:

 Tony is one of the most active square and contra dance callers in the business. He started calling in 1964, possibly the first of the "baby boom" generation to do so. Since then he has taught and called contras and New England squares in 34 states, Canada, and Europe; helped produce half a dozen recordings of dance music with and without calls; served on the boards of several dance organizations; and written Contra Dance Calling: A Basic Text, the definitive work on becoming a contra and square dance caller.

 Tony also loves Gilbert and Sullivan and sings with the Sudbury Savoyards.
