Gale Ramberg took square dance lessons under duress in 1971 from Roger Rice. He started doing singing calls before lessons were over, and started calling professionally in 1972. Gale calls all levels through A2. In addition to calling, Gale has also taught many new dancers over the years. In 2004 Gale was inducted into the Iowa Square and Round Dance Hall of Fame. Gale says he has met a lot of nice people over the years; if he had to do it again, he would have started a lot sooner!
