17th Anniversary Celebration

July 8, 9, 10 & 11, 2010


This is a fully sanctioned UCWDC qualifying event. Placement points will be awarded.


Country Dancers

Last year the ProAm competition exceeded expectations! Many divisions had three or more competitors and counted towards graduation. This year's competition will run in separate sessions by level. Two practice floors will be available for warm-up and coaching.

Experience a night of social dancing with old and new friends Friday night. We have the best local and nationally recognized country DJs playing a mix of lead & follow couples, partner, and line dances frequently played at local clubs and regional country dance weekends. Enjoy a workshop with Robert Royston!

On Saturday night we are running a Strictly Two Step contest - Open Level and Age - Grab anyone who is not your regular UCWDC® competition dance partner for a fun Two Step and a chance to win a special prize!

Line Dancers - back by popular demand - we will teach the competition line dances Saturday afternoon.
