Chris Stacy
chris@swingandcircle.com

Chris is from Annandale, Virginia, but found out about square dancing while doing computer science at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts in the mid 80s. It wasn't long before he was calling and teaching for Tech Squares groups and other clubs in New England. He's been calling Challenge since 1984. His specialties are technical choreography, and teaching. "I have fun with all the levels -- first nighter's, Challenge, and everything in between!" He calls Beginners through C3. After 30 years in Boston, Chris has moved back to northern Virginia and is having a ball calling for the clubs in our area. He joined the Boomerangs staff in 2011.

Chris has conducted research on operating systems, communication networks, artificial intelligence, and bioinformatics, at MIT, Harvard, and a number of spinoff companies. When he's not playing with computers or calling square dances, you might find him teaching (or out dancing) Swing & Lindy Hop.
