 Erik has been a Caller for over 20 years, and calls from Basic up to Plus. Well known for his showmanship, Erik has always put a lot of energy and effort into the promotion of Square Dancing.
While Calling, his main goal has always been: success for the dancers!
Erik learned to Square Dance in 1977 with the well known Dutch Caller Will Stans at the Tulip Twirlers. Met his wife Martha, when she came visiting the club in 1979.
In 1983 Erik picked up calling coached by Arie Stoffer. In that very same year his first club, The Liberty Lines was started by him and his wife.
