Len and Ruth Siegmann were the club callers and cuers for the Dousman Derby Dancers Square Dance Club. In 1982 the Dousman Derby Dancers decided to go to an all-guest caller format. At the time, there was a large group of dancers who urged Len and Ruth to form a new club. Len started teaching square dance lessons in 1982. In 1983, the graduating class along with other dancers formed what is now the Spring City Squares. (“Spring City” is a historical nickname for Waukesha.)  It wasn’t long before experienced dancers from other clubs decided to join Spring City Squares.

In 1983, the club became a chartered club and by the end of the year had a membership of 87 dancers. Throughout the years, the club has maintained an enthusiastic membership.  Len’s & Ruth’s ‘s grandsons call regularly at club dances and Ruth Siegmann still occasionally acts as cuer though, sadly, Len passed away in 2017.

For their many contributions to square and round dance in Wisconsin over many years, Len & Ruth Siegmann both have been inducted into the Wisconsin Square and Round Dance Caller/Cuer Hall of Fame.
