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 nationally recognized country DJs. 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!
