DeeDee became interested in round dance after she agreed to join her family at a square dance in 2010; she fell in love with cued ballroom and began taking lessons almost immediately. After dancing only three years, she choreographed her first dance on Christmas Eve. In January of 2015, she began working regularly with cuer Lon Bedillion, who nurtured her curiosity in cueing and allowed her to guest cue for him frequently at his clubs.
In August of 2015, with support from her mentor, she applied for and received her cuer’s license. Since then, DeeDee has gone on to teach classes and workshops at Kennesaw Square Dealers and Crossfire Squares, respectively. She is also the regular cuer for Kennesaw Square Dealers, Crossfire Squares, and Danc'n Singles.
DeeDee lives in the Atlanta metro area with her ginger furbaby, Jasper; and in her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family, attending Southern gospel music concerts, reading, crocheting, and choreographing. She also loves singing and playing the piano and is currently the pianist of her home church. She can be contacted via her website atwww.imatlantablue.com, where you can also find her choreography, contact form, and social media.
DeeDee is a member of Roundalab, GRDTA and is BMI/ASCAP licensed.
