Previous Workshops.  Remember previous years?!  We had a boot slappin' good time at the "Wild Wild West" in 2010.  We rocked and rolled "At The Hop" in 2009.  And we had a rip-roarin' good time at the "Best Little Workshop In Texas" in 2008.  To refresh your memories, we have a few pictures in our Workshop Gallery.  See y’all at the 2012 Workshop!

 

  

Quarterly Mini-Workshops:  We hope to reinstate the Farmers Branch Mini-Workshops to be held every quarter at the Farmers Branch Senior Center, 14055 Dennis Lane, Farmers Branch, TX (972) 241-8636.   The next mini-workshop will be scheduled after the Jamboree Workshop.  The purpose of the mini-workshops at the Farmers Branch Center is to introduce new dances popular in the USA and around the world.  Anyone may attend.  They are held quarterly on a Friday afternoon and are announced about a month in advance.  If you are interested in being added to the notification list for the mini-workshops, please contact Nikki Simpson at rockinredrodeo@verizon.net.  We will let you know when the next mini-workshop is scheduled.
