There's still time to work on your New Year's resolution to get moving and learn to dance! Bring your friends and family and join us the last Sunday of the month, January 29th, for our FREE 5th Sunday Lesson and Dance! Intro to Swing will be taught at 7pm and the dance will follow at 8:30-10:30pm. Old and new dancers always come out of the woodwork and have a blast at our 5th Sunday extravaganzas!

February's elective is "Role Reversal!" Follows will learn how to lead and leads will learn how to follow. Aside from the fact that this is super fun because we will teach you how to steal and give leads & follow, you'll get to learn what it takes to make the dance work from 'the other side' and thus improve your own dancing. Join us every Sunday in February at 7:30pm.

The Lonestar Championships is a competition weekend dedicated to social dancing with a party atmosphere. All of the contests are social dance competitions. No stress on your part, no need to prepare a routine, just come enjoy the weekend. Spontaneous, creative, amazing.
 
Lonestar is really about the joy of dance and celebrating all levels of dancers. Competitions are a great way of focusing your energy on becomming a better dancer, and they're not just reserved for the elite or those who want to become professionals. At Lonestar, some of the most fun comps are the Newcommers, where you get to see or participate in the growth of new dancers. It's electric! So, focus your energy and take a leap into this great opportunity! If you're still not ready for competitions, that's ok too. There are plenty of classes and great dancers at the event to elevate your skills! No one ever became a great dancer by sitting on the couch. So, get out there and have some fun!
