Tom Hicks – California
Cuer
I was extremely privileged to have Cliff and Marilyn Hicks as parents as they started me Round & Square dancing at the age of 6. My parents were Round Dance Teachers/leaders so I was able to dance and learn with them 5 to 6 nights a week. As soon as I could, I would assist my mom while she would teach. I also attended many Round dance weekends, namely the second URDC (ICBDA) in Kansas City dancing with the 3 Bettys: Betty Moss, Betty Easterday, and Betty Proctor.
I am presently on the RAL BOD and assist on a couple of RAL committees discussing the standards. I reside in the Los Angeles area teaching Ballroom Dance independently at local studios and assisting in teaching Round Dancing with several other Round Dancers. I love being involved in Round Dancing and quite often think about how lucky I am to have had the best parents to open the door to Round Dancing.
