George & Pamela have been round dancing since 1989.  From the first lesson, dancing quickly became a most enjoyable focus of their lives.  When they began teaching rounds in 1995 in Anchorage, Alaska, it was a logical progression for their love of dance.  George & Pam began taking ballroom lessons to enhance their rounds in 1992 and continued studying with Percell St Thomass, former Ohio Star Ball Champion, until leaving Alaska in June 98.  They continue their education while in Mesa, AZ; currently taking private instruction from Kathy Weiss & Larry Caves at the Stardust Dance Studio.

 George & Pam taught and cued at the National Convention in Anaheim, CA, at all National USA West Conventions as well as several URDC’s.  They have also taught and cued for many festivals and clinics around the US and Canada.  They love to travel and have cued and/or taught in 24 of the 50 states.  They were the featured round dance leaders at the 2003 National Convention in Queensland, Australia.  This was their second trip down under, having cued and/or taught in 5 of the 6 states and the North Island of New Zealand.  In May 2006, they were able to teach and/or cue in Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.  They both retired in February 1998 (both from the Air Force and George from Teamster’s as well) and love traveling in their retirement home on wheels.  They incorporate dancing, cueing, and teaching with their travels.  Texas is home base as Pam’s parents live in Rosewood and they try to spend Spring and Fall there.  They teach Phase III – VI in Mesa, AZ from November through March.  Their Mesa sessions represent The Dancing GyPsies (Carousel Club 323).  George also cues for Bill Haynes’ and Randy Dougherty’s Advanced Square Dances while in Mesa (as long as they can dance too!!).

They are members of ROUNDALAB, Universal Round Dance Council (URDC), Texas Round Dance Teacher’s Association (TRDTA), Dixie Round Dance Council (DRDC), and are past presidents of the Anchorage Callers & Cuers Association.  George & Pam attended both sessions of the East Coast Round Dance Leader's College in August 1996.

 George & Pam have choreographed several dances, most recently “She’s No Lady”, “She Can’t Fix Grits”, “Senza Fine VI”, “Go On By”, “Senza Fine”, and “Fine Brown Frame”.   For a complete list, videos, and cuesheets, check the Hurd’s website, www.gphurd.com.
