I started dancing when I was 14 years old. 
For six years I called square dancing and paid my way through university doing that.

In 1983 my husband and I met on
the dance floor and have been dancing together ever since.

We do A2 level square dances in the winter months with renowned callers Joe Saltel and Darryl Lipscomb.

We also do Phase V-VI choreographed ballroom dancing and take workshops every week in the winter to keep up with the new releases.

Trevor joins me with beginner level line dances. 
I dance and teach Intermediate and Advanced Levels.
I have choreographed over 190 line dances.

I am also an easy-intermediate level  clogger, and a clogging cuer & instructor. 
I choreographed over 75 dances.

My choreography for both Line Dancing and Clogging can be found here.  

 47 +  years of dancing!

On November 29th, 2021,
I celebrated my 47th anniversary
of my graduation from square dancing. 
Back then we also did Line Dancing,
Round Dancing, Mixers and Contras
during the breaks.
Trevor and I continue to enjoy
A2 level dancing, and Phase 5-6 Round Dancing,
and I dance all levels of Line Dancing,
as well as Intermediate Level Clogging.

Over 200 Line Dances
choreographed by Karen Tripp

One of several cuesheet websites is here:  http://www.mixed-up.com/round/all-over/

There are a couple of websites which contain videos of the dances, however, they are password protected.

Example of Choreographed Ballroom dances we have enjoyed:

If you are not familiar with the levels of square dancing, visit this site and click on any level up to and including Advanced
to see the moves we dance to routinely, 2-3 times a week during the winter.
