Curt began dancing in
1972 and didn’t catch
the calling bug until
1985. Once he started,
it didn’t take long
before his calling took off. A dancer once said about Curt - “He takes the same old call and makes it look different while keeping a smooth flowing dance”, That’s one of the best compliments I’ve ever received said Curt who always strives to give the dancers a challenge, yet let the dancers enjoy the “dance”.
Don't miss Curt Brafett on May 11th!
