Michael Maltenfort
 

Michael has been dancing for quite a while and learned Plus while still in high school, with the Wilmette club, "Fascinating Singles." Only dancing occasionally as an undergraduate in upstate New York, he eventually found Chi-Town Squares and learned Advanced.  Before he knew it, he was learning the challenge levels.
 

Becoming a caller had interested him for years. In January 2002 he began calling and things took off from there. He moved from calling occasional tips to full dances. By vocation he is a teacher and teaches math at Truman College. Michael states, “for some square dancers like me, mathematics and square dancing are pretty much the same thing. If you see me talking excitedly about something, it could be about a new square dance call or bit of choreography, or it could be about a lecture on infinitesimal calculus or a book on topology.  But square dancing has one major advantage over mathematics: it's all about a group of people having fun together.”
