Overview
Music 🎶 and Callers 🎤 for your Party! 🎉
Anybody can stream some music from their phone into a little speaker. Any DJ will be happy to setup a good sound system and play the same rocking music as your guests sit and talk.
We’re different. 🤔
We’ll setup the sound. We’ll play the music. The difference when you hire callers is: We get people dancing! 💃🕺
Want to line dance? We’ll show you the moves. A bit of contra? We’ve got you covered. Want to learn America’s official folk dance? We’ll teach your group to square dance in as little as half an hour!
We're a husband & wife duo, doing what we love! 💑

Diana and Adam arrived early, were flexible and made the event fun for 50 - 60 teen and pre-teen youth. If you can get them both like we did it is a special treat indeed. It was everything we had hoped for and more.

Thank you for the nice review, Robert. We enjoyed kicking off our weekend with the Youth Group and celebrating your special day too. We hope to see you all again! 🤠
These guys were super great as both square dance callers and wedding DJs. They provided excellent music during the ceremony, cocktail hour, rehearsal and dancing. They also taught us to square dance and played your standard wedding pop music so almost everyone got on the floor.

Thank you Sarah for the kind words and allowing us to be part of your special day. Best wishes to you and James. - Diana & Adam
What a joy! We hired Adam and Diana for my daughters 1st birthday—a hoedown. They arrived on time and were super accommodating when it forecasted rain at the last minute. I provided an easy pop up tent and they brought their own as well, just in case.
The music and range of dances they taught us were really great. Diana helped us with the steps and was very patient with the fact that many of us had never done Square dance. Adam was a great caller and humored us during many inevitable missteps lol! Between dances they DJ’d and it was just tons of fun.
They’re both square dancers themselves and I have no doubt they’d be great callers for any party situation. 10/10

Sionann, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. We enjoyed spreading the joy of square dancing to you, your family, and friends. Thank you again for sharing your daughter's birthday with us.
They were amazing with our girl scout troop! The barn dance was a hit and the dads and girls cannot wait to do it again next year. None of them ever tried square dancing and they loved it. Easy instructions and was fun!!! They played great music during the breaks and even some line dancing was done!

Thank you for the fabulous review Angela. :-)
The dads and daughters were good sports, tried, and had fun even when they struggled. That's what these parties are all about. 🎉
If you need a DJ/entertainer for the night, these are your people!!!! Diana was so sweet and the kids loved her! We had them come to our girls cheer banquet, with about 60 guests and a lot of rambunctious kiddos ready to party! She played great music, led so games including limbo and freeze dance, as well as played photographer for us for a large group photo! They went above and beyond! Will absolutely have them for our next event!

Hello Ashley,
Thank you so much for your review. I am glad I was able to make the banquet special for the girls and their families. I enjoyed everyone (including the parents) dancing and participating in the games.
I look forward to working with you again.
Kids and adults had a great time at my daughter's ninth birthday party that was Wednesday Addams themed. The interaction was great and ready to change the beat at a moment's notice. Thanks. You guys were great!
Diane and Adam were awesome to work with. They are very sweet, professional, enjoyable to interact with and helped provide suggestions to make my squaredance party a success. I highly recommend them!

Hello Debie,
Thank you for you for your kind words. We enjoyed meeting everyone. We were delighted to share Square Dancing at the Sweetheart Dance with the girls and their partners. We had so much fun. Thanks again, and we hope to be of service you again.
Diana and Adam brought the PARTY to our party! The music was perfect, the set-up was professional, and the line dancing and square dancing lessons were a BLAST! Highly recommend!
Had a great 18th birthday party thanks to these two. They taught some dances then played the kids’ playlist. Such a great party. Thank you!!!

Adam and Diana were the perfect addition to our wedding! They were always available for planning and added valued suggestions! They are easy to talk to and both very friendly! Their years of experience were were very apparent. Always easy to reach, to run through the any changes or additions of music.
They were prompt and well equipped to provide everything we were expecting for a wonderful wedding ceremony and fun reception.
We would highly recommend them!
Thank you Barn Dance party!

Adam and Diana arrived on time. Set up a spot and played lots if fun Christmas songs for our SoCal Santas annual luncheon. Everyone had a great time. It really would be fun to see if we could put on a Santa dance party. ... We will for sure book again.
Many took Adams cards so hopefully more nice fun gigs in the future.
Thank you again from the SoCal Santas.

Response from Barn Dance Party:
Thank you Kevin! It sure is fun to entertain a room full of Santas and Mrs. Clauses! A Santa dance party would be a blast!
Adam and Diana were great fun to have at our daughter’s first birthday party. We had many families with toddlers at our party so Adam adjusted his calling to help us all learn and Diana helped guide the little ones. Even though our party was chaotic because of all the little ones, Adam and Diana were a calm presence that brought a lot of joy to our party and a new experience to our friends, all who had never done square or contra dancing before. Thank you so much! I hope our paths cross again!

My bride and I (and all our guests) thoroughly enjoyed square dancing at our wedding. Basically everyone there (myself included) knew zero about square dancing at the start, but by the end we were dancing like pros! Thanks Adam and Diana!

We had a very small wedding reception last month (about 80 people). We decided not to do the traditional reception, with dancing, loud music, etc. However, we realized we still needed some music to play in the background as people mingled. We put out a request for wedding DJs to play our little event. We specifically stated that we only needed a DJ for two hours to play low key (country) music in the background. We need some ambience while people mingled. We received a number of expensive quotes from DJ's that wanted to charge us their "standard" wedding fee. This is when Diana and Adam Fanello swooped in to offer us a reasonable price. They read the description of our event and tailored a price that was within our budget. On the day of the wedding, they arrived on time, were professional, friendly and played exactly the type of music we requested. We are nothing but pleased with their services. I would recommend them to anyone...especially if they're looking for country or barn dancing themed music. :)

Thank you for the review Michael. We were very happy to be able to "swoop in" and play our little part in your special day! 🎶 Congratulations once again.
Adam and Diana were very professional (arrived early, were ready to go on time and brought all the equipment they promised), but also a lot of fun. They were flexible in dealing with our group of diverse ages and experience, and taught us a lot of fun moves and dances. They led us through line dances, square dances, and contra dances. We would hire them again.

About
Diana Fanello 💃
Diana’s first passion has always been in music. She’s been learning, playing, and collecting since her teen years, when she also frequented dance clubs and took up square dancing with her family.
After some years off to raise her own family, she returned to the world of squares in 2012 and a few years later, started to call square dancing. As a life-long teacher, Diana has a particular love of introducing children to dance. As a music aficionado with over ten thousand songs in her collection, becoming a DJ as well was a natural move.
Adam Fanello 🕺
Adam discovered his latent dance skills in the early 2000’s. Combined with his passion for sharing knowledge, he immediately took to assisting in square dance classes as an “angel” dancer. That has since led to learning to lead the class and dance as a square dance caller.
While his first love is the social atmosphere of a square, don’t be surprised if he jumps in to show you the way in lines, contra, ballroom, or free styling!
Adam is making his mark in the world of square dancing as the author of the Square Auto-Choreographer app, and is now able to share innovative ways of calling and teaching.
Adam ❤️ Diana
Adam and Diana met in 2012 in square dance class; Adam as an “angel” helper and Diana returning to the activity. In 2014, they married to become the dynamic duo you see today. With Diana’s deep music insights and Adam’s technical dance attunement, this complementary pair can fulfill your every dance need.
