Featuring: Debbie & Paul Taylor
Debbie & Paul Taylor started their dancing lives together at Paul's graduation from Square Dance lessons, May of 1981. They were married on October 17, l98l after a short courtship. They began taking Round Dance lesions in September before being married and after an auto accident put Debbie on the sidelines for several weeks, she watched and learned while recuperating. Paul was put on night hours at work so Debbie continued going to lessons without him and taught the steps to Paul at home. Debbie decided she wanted to be a Round Dance Cuer and Teacher since dancing came natural to her. By November of 1982 Debbie was cueing for Square Dance Clubs in Washington. By March of 1984 they started cueing for the Dudes and Dolls in Lynnwood and Checkerboard Squares in Edmonds. It is 31 years later and they are still cueing for the two clubs in Washington and various other clubs. They had 2 round dance classes graduate in March 1985 and Dancing Shadows, their first round dance club was formed and the early portion is an ICBDA Carousel Club. Debbie and Paul have had the honor of being chairmen for several festivals and co-chairmen on others. They have been featured cuers for an Idaho State Festival and the Oregon Summer Festival. Intermixed with all the cueing, teaching and dancing, they have held several club and council offices. They have been editor/selection chairmen for Washington State three times. They have attended 26 National Square and Round Dance Conventions and have cued and taught at24 of them. They will be Vice Chairmen of Rounds at the 2020 Convention in Spokane, WA. They have raised a family of four; two boys and 2 girls. Square and Round Dancing have always been, and ALWAYS will be a very big part of their lives.
