| About Steve Steve Jacques learned to square dance in the early sixties in his hometown of Boston, Massachusetts when he was encouraged by his brother. Upon completion of his lessons, he tried his hand at calling during an amateur caller’s night held by caller Tex Wilson. He then attended a local caller’s school and continued to experiment with calling until 1967 when he called his first complete dance. Steve moved to Baltimore, Maryland in the mid 1970s, where he now continues his successful calling career. He has a full dance and workshop program for several home clubs. Steve calls Basic through C1. As a full time caller, Steve has been fortunate to call numerous weekend dances, festivals and cruises across the country and overseas. He currently records for Crown Records and has numerous records to his credit. Steve is an accredited member of CALLERLAB, and is the past President and Vice President of Square Dance Leaders Baltimore Area. He also belongs to the Virginia Callers and the Old Colony Caller’s Association of New England.
