The club began dancing on December 29, 1964 in Webster, Texas. The first caller was Carl Miller of Pasadena, Texas. The club moved to the Clear Lake City Recreation Center and Bob Baier became the club caller in 1975, and remains so today. Bob is a nationally and world wide known caller, who calls approximately 15-20 dances a year. We have guest callers on the remaining Saturday evenings. Round dancing is enjoyed prior to and between tips the third Saturday of every month. The club changed locations in 2004 to the Gilruth Center at the Johnson Space Center.
