The Kincaids are from College Park, MD. They have been involved in
the square dance movement since 1970, and have been round dancing
since 1975, taking their basics from Carmen and Mildred Smarrelli.
As dancers, John & Peg were active in their local organizations,
serving as both President of WASCA (Washington Area Square and Round
Dance Association), and Festival Director of the WASCA Spring
Festival. In addition they served on the Festival Committee in
various positions, as well as Board Members of the WASCA
organization for several terms of office. They were presented a
plaque during the 2001 WASCA Festival in recognition of their 25
years of service to the organization. John & Peg were Round Dance
Liaison for their last six years on the WASCA Board, and as such
worked closely with the local Round Dance Teachers’ Association.
The Kincaids were on the Top Ten for the National Convention in
Baltimore in 1984 serving as Business Chairmen. They were Directors
of Showcase and Workshops for the 49th National Convention. They
belong to ROUNDALAB (RAL), Universal Round Dance Council (URDC),
Dixie Round Dance Council (DRDC), and the Round Dance Teachers’
Association (RDTA). They have worked on the DRDC Technical Advisory
Committee as proof readers, and the DRDC Mickey Moore Award
Committee. In addition they are on the Phase V and Phase VI ROQ
Committees for RAL.
Peg & John have choreographed several round
dance routines from phase II to phase VI. Some of their better
known dances are “Limbo Rock” (phase III), “Another Blue Monday”
(phase IV), “Beauty & The Beast” (phase V) and “Skye” (phase V).
They have two clubs, Round-To-Its phase , III, IV, V and Tiffanys
phase IV, V, VI which is a Carousel club. In addition to cueing at
several 2 X 2 dances, they have a basic class and an Intermediate

Frequent attendees at “Accent On Rounds”
since 1990, they became Directors of the week long round dance event
(held Spring and Fall each year) in 2001 after the death of Ed
Raybuck.
Peg & John are both still working. John is
a CPA with his own practice, and Peg is a registered nurse working
part time in a doctor’s office. They have 3 married children and 8
grandchildren, all in close proximity to the home and when they are
not at work, or involved in dance related activities, they spend
quality time with their family.
