Rockin' Red Rodeo

Nikki Simpson - Farmers Branch & Richardson Senior Centers

 

 

The 2010 Jamboree Workshop is dedicated to the memory of Dorothy Denman, coordinator of two Jamborees,

and Margie Whaley, our line dance friend from Waco.  We miss them.

 

2010 Workshop, April 15-17.  Howdy!  Things are cookin' up here in Big D country.  The Farmers Branch Jamboree Line Dance Workshop is fixin' to cut loose on April 15 with the Thursday night open dance and will continue right through Friday and Saturday.  Be sure n’ git yore taxes done afore y’ come… we’re not responsible for late tax returns!

 

We’ll do some hootin' and hollerin', stompin' and clompin' at the Workshop as we return this year to the "Wild Wild West".  So, grab yore hats, put on yore boots, saddle yore hoss and make plans to drive them doggies up the trail to Farmers Branch.  Don’t forget to sign up early.  Get a registration form here or on the  Workshop Page.

 

The Workshop is the place where dances nominated for the current year’s Jamboree are introduced and taught.   Check the Workshop page for more information.

 

We hope you'll return to the 2010 Workshop to carry on the tradition of Fun and Friendship with our Family of line dancers.

Workshops 2008 & 2009.  Remember last year?!  We had a great time rockin' and rollin' "At the Hop" in 2009.  And we had a rip-roarin’ good time at the "Best Little Workshop in Texas" in 2008.   We have some pictures  on the bottom of the Workshop page to refresh your memories.  See y’all at the 2010 Workshop... back to the "Wild Wild West"!
