Jan 29th, 2011: The Columbus Dispatch reports on central Ohio square dancing, featuring many of our clubs and local personalities.
Our Cuer of the Month is Bob & Winnie Shover. Bob & Jan Shover took lessons in Round Dancing from Dick & Gail Blaskis and started cueing and teaching in late 1978. They formed a club that was called the Star Dusters. Bob cued at many clubs around Ohio, Conventions, Camp outs, and was the club cuer for the Bucks & Does. Jan Passed away in 1986.
Winnie assisted Bob in teaching phase III at Park Street School in Grove City. Most of the dancers were from up north, so they moved their teaching and cueing to Mingo Park in Delaware in 1987 and formed a club called Rainbow Rounders.
Bob and Winnie were married in 1988 Then came a really fun move to the "Barn" at Marion, Ohio. The club name was changed to Twirling Rainbows. They also took on the job of cueing for the Hicks & Chicks with Hugh Johnston on squares. The Twirling Rainbows Club was presented a plaque for dancing at the Ameriflora in 1992.
Bob was content in having a dance for the phase II, III dancers, so with the help of Dick & Gail Blaskis and the Twirling Rainbow Club, the April Fantasy Dance was founded in 1996. Later the name was changed to Spring Fantasy Dance.
Bob & Winnie took a vacation from cueing and teaching for a few years, then started back cueing and teaching again in 2005 at JC Summers School in Grove City.
In 2006 they taught and danced at the Parkview Methodist Church and their dancers voted to call the club Capital City Rounds. They have continued with that name and have cued and taught at State and National Conventions in Ohio and West Virginia and at several week end Festivals.
Currently they hold Basic classes in Two Step & Waltz and Phase III Plus in Cha and Rumba and a Step up class in Waltz and Foxtrot, at the Grove City Senior Center.
Bob and Winnie enjoy cueing and teaching and have been doing it for over twenty seven years. They are members of RoundaLab, BRDC, COCA, and COCDC.
