    We're bringing back our annual workshop  with amazing instructors:

    There are 2.5 tracks (due to previous feedback and space limitations, we are limiting the number of people in the level-tested tracks). The top track will consist of one hour sessions with each pair of instructors (3 hours total).

    The weekend kicks off with a DJed Friday night dance, and the Saturday night dance will feature The Waller Creek Vipers from Austin!

    Friday night will be at Sons of Hermann Hall. (There is another event happening downstairs, so please be courteous.) Level testing will be Friday from 7:30pm - 8:30pm. Level testing is required for the top two tracks.

    Classes start at 10am on Saturday and 11am on Sunday at Sammons Center for the Arts.

    The Saturday night dance with The Waller Creek Vipers will be at the Sammons Center for the Arts.
