Mike & Mary Foral

Mike and Mary Foral first met in a Ballroom dance class, and they’ve been happily dancing together ever since.  They got their start in ballroom dancing in Madison, WI in 1985 (or thereabouts) and while there taught a number of non-credit ballroom dance courses through the University of Wisconsin.  They were later introduced to round dancing and fell in love with it and became founding members of the Friendship Rounds club in Madison. 

After moving to the Chicagoland area they danced with various leaders, including George & Joyce Kammerer, Bruce & Kris Nelson, Al & Jane Krol, and Al & Carol Lillefield.  They have also taught Ballroom Dance classes through the local Park District and to groups in their Church, pausing every now and then to concentrate on Mom & Dad duties for their three children (now all grown).

They currently teach and dance with a Carousel tape club in the Chicagoland area.  Mike & Mary began writing their own choreography in 2014 and currently reside in Aurora, IL.
