Erin & Scot Byars

Erin began square dancing in 1969 and round dancing in 1972. In 1974 she joined the Silhouettes, a premiere teen round dance exhibition group under the direction of Betty & Bob Dean. She would often dance with Bob and he would say, “Cue along with Betty.” When she asked why, she was told, “Don't ask questions, just do as I say!” Soon she was cueing local dances.

Between 1978 and 1985, Erin took time off from cueing, but not dancing. In 1985, she and Scot became a team and he encouraged her to begin cueing/teaching again. Since then she has been featured round dance instructor at festivals in Utah, Alaska, California, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.

Erin & Scot have choreographed popular dances including “Shake It For Me” (CH IV), “Time in a Bottle” (WZ III), “You Didn’t Have To Be So Nice” (TS II), and “Feel It Still” (TS II+1). In 2016, their phase II waltz “Life is a Slow Dance with You” was chosen as the ROUNDALAB Round of the Quarter.

Cueing and teaching through phase 4, and following in Betty’s footsteps, Erin believes her job is to help people love Round Dancing!

Beginning Round Dance classes are held Wednesday evenings from 5:00 to 6:45 pm at Royer Hall.  This season the Byars are teaching/workshopping phase III Rumba.
