Caller & Cuer for Boatnik 2024!
David & Dawn Mee

David has been calling for over 37 years.
He began calling originally in 1975 at the age of 11, however he did not fully pursue the calling profession until 1980. Since that time David has become a very popular, well liked and highly sought after caller.

Known for his playful yet professional style, he calls dances throughout California on a regular basis. He has also called dances internationally in several countries including Denmark, Sweden, and China. David calls and teaches all levels from Basic to C-1.

David has recorded for Shakedown Records and more recently has been added as a
staff caller for CHIC Recordings.

In addition to his square dance calling, David works as an executive for Disney, and as the saying goes; for David it truly is “The Happiest Place on Earth.” He also sings and plays the piano with a Praise Band at Yorba Linda Friends Church.

Dawn has been a well-known instructor in the clogging community since it became popular in the mid 1970’s. As a founding member of the Cripple Creek Cloggers, she has danced and competed in clogging events across the country. Dawn has made sure that her traditions carry on, as each of her three daughters were excellent advanced level Cloggers.

Dawn saw that her passion about dancing reached outside of the Clogging community, and she found a home in the Round Dance community as well. She cues dances for clubs all across Southern California. In addition to her Round Dancing, Dawn works part-time as a systems consultant for a machine shop and is loving being a grandma.

David and Dawn both enjoy playing cards and games, and spending time with family and friends!

From Johnny G. ;
My wife and I haven’t danced at a festival for some time and the Boatnik Festival was our first real festival since we started back after covid.
We had an awesome time! We are planning to be back in 2023!

From Bob W. ;
We had such a great time, which is why we always come to the Charlie Brown Squares Boatnik Festival! The Charlies always seem to have
such a great time and are so welcoming to everyone! It seems like a party all weekend long. We’ll be back next year!

From Joe ;
Just wanted to say how much fun I had at Boatnik this year. Thank you Chuck and Carla and the whole committee for making it a
great weekend for everyone! I also really enjoyed the Hellgate jet boat ride! The whole weekend was a blast!
Take care and keep doing what you’re doing – you are all winners in my book!

From Frieda O. ; Had a great time Charlie Browns! Need more fun like this more often!
