Welcome

My husband, Joe, and I moved to Phoenix, AZ from the Baltimore-Washington area and I have continued to teach workshops and call dances throughout the southwest. I have had the opportunity to call with amazing bands such Footloose, the Latter Day Lizards, Andrew and Noah van Nordstrom, Perpetual e-Motion, Nor’easter and other wonderful regional musicians on the east coast and in the southwest.

Check out the ongoing English Country Dance series held on select Saturday mornings, October - April; Thursday evenings, May - September at the Irish Cultural Center in Phoenix. Please click here for the schedule, or contact me for more information, peghesley@cox.net. To receive email updates, subscribe now.

Joe and I sponsor a dance camp called Dancing on the Edge in the high country of Arizona. Contra and English dancing are offered in a magical rural setting on the Mogollon Rim, 1 hr north of Payson The website for the June 2014 camp will be up and running in October.

More about me...

I am a Cytotechnologist by day. I sit at a microscope in a large hospital and screen prepared slides for cancer, pre-cancerous lesions, infections and other abnormalities. My work at the hospital is tedious, but very rewarding. I look forward to calling and dancing every opportunity I have.
