The authors are both long-time DJ's. Rick owns Yee Haa Country Music Dance Services in Haubstadt, Indiana and is a member of the National Teachers Association of Country Dancers. Both of the authors wish you the best as we enter this exciting world of country dancing.

People like to have fun and be entertained.
During the 1940's, Big Band Swing was popular. In the 50's and 60's there were Sock Hops. In the 70's there was Disco. In the 80's, Country Dancing and Karaoke started making some waves and in the early 90's, Rave parties were the rage. They are all viable forms of entertainment and will always be around in one form or another.
