Workshops
Get ready to dance like you've never danced before! No tedium here -- you'll find an energy and excitement that make these workshops feel like special events themselves. We're inviting back many of our favorite, most dynamic instructors from past years. We're offering over 40 hours of workshops, in up to four rooms running simultaneously (so sorry, you won't be able to do it all), Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with additional lessons at Sundance Saloon Thursday and Sunday nights.
All levels, from beginning to advanced. New to country-western dancing? Immerse yourself in the weekend and emerge from it dancing like you never thought possible! Already experienced? Learn new moves and perfect your form.
- All kinds of dance styles, including two-step, waltz, east coast swing, west coast swing, line dancing, and more.
We're excited to present our all-star roster of instructors for the 2011 Stompede!

- instructor's photos and biographies

Premiium Workshops
Our regular offerings of workshops cover a wide range of topics for all levels to suit all of our attendees, but the classes tend to be quite large. Our Premium Workshops are designed for those who wish to learn in a more intimate setting: these workshops will be restricted to no more than twelve dancers (six leads and six follows). Advance reservations must be made, and there will be a nominal fee of $10 per workshop. More details on our premium workshops here.
