 Ett
McAtee is affectionately known as "Just Ett, Hon!" to many who know her,
and as "Ettila the Hon!" to her new Plus, Advanced and Challenge graduates.
She started square dancing on January 13, 1987 and first picked up the
microphone to call in the summer of 1989. In addition to having her
own clubs, Ettseteras (C1), the Offsets (C2) and Fifth Wheelers (C3A/C3B-Linda
Kendall, co-caller), Ett has called in Canada, Sweden and Germany, and
calls various various weekends around the country every year. She
is a member of Washington DC's association of callers (NCASDLA), as well
as of the Gay Caller's Association (GCA) and Callerlab, the international
"club" of callers.
Ett's love of square dancing
shows from either side of the microphone, as anyone who dances with and
to her well knows. The idea of sharing a common language between dancers
and callers appeals to her, especially on the international scene. When
Ett says, "Square up!" she means it! Parlez vous square dance??
