The Mike Sikorsky Story!
Mike Sikorsky called his first full square dance on July 7th, 1972 for the Roaring 20's young adult square dance club in Van Nuys, California.
He expected one square to attend and 11 squares showed up! Credit three visitations and assorted other visitors! Mike was 17 years old at the time.
A few years later Mike would be in college. Between classes he would have conversations with other students. One of the main topics of discussion was what students were doing for money. When he told them he was calling square dances, every single one of them responded "Wow! I bet that beats flipping hamburgers!"
A few years later Mike would discover that his maternal grandfather was a square dance caller when he was younger. They lived out on a farm, and they would take all of the furniture from the house and put it out in the yard every summer Saturday night. Whoever showed up with a banjo or a guitar or an accordion, played square and dance music. Mike's grandfather would call for the square nearest him and somebody from that square would shout the calls to the square in the kitchen, and somebody from the kitchen would yell the calls to the square in the bedroom!
Mike financed his own college education with his square dance calling earnings, graduating from CSUN as a Bachelor of Science, Finance option.
Mike is currently writing a beginner's teaching guide (BTG). An email with the BTG attached is sent out every time he writes a new chapter. It is free. Email Mike and request to be put on the list you wish to receive it. Mike claims it is the only guide for teaching beginners that actually bases everything taught on something the beginners already know.

Mike has also invented a revolutionary module calling system called the Activator Stream system. Because of the variables automatically included, the possible combinations are immense. He wrote two books teaching his Activator Stream system, and they are available digitally only for $20 each. Email Mike at the above email address about ordering these two books if you wish to obtain them.
Mike is a CALLERLAB Accredited Caller Coach and is an elected member of the Board of Governors. He is a member of several CALLERLAB committees and actively participates in committee discussions and votes.
Mike currently resides in Apache Junction, Arizona with his fiancé, Janet, who will become his wife on May 1st, 2025.
