5 Reasons Why You Need To Join Country Dance Nation

Reason #1: The Best Workshops

Your instructors are some of the best in the world at what they do. Ranging in specialties, we have brought you only the best in Two Step, Country Swing, West Coast Swing, Line Dance and more. Both traditional and contemporary styles are represented.

Reason #2: The Future Of Competition

Let’s be real. The competitive country dance scene has been broken for a while and has been split into two halves…

1) The traditional sanctioned Country Western competitions which have become “ballroom in boots”

2) The bar style competitions which generally include a vague “Traditional” and a “Freestyle” division.

The problem is that BOTH of these formats are simply dysfunctional and neither of which is a true representation of country dancing. And they couldn’t be any farther from each other.

What the country community needs is something that pulls these two worlds together… THAT IS WHAT WE’RE DOING!

Reason #3: Community

We believe that the most important part of “Social Dancing” is the word “SOCIAL.” Everything we do as country dancers is centered around people getting together and sharing good times.

We believe that the most important part of “Social Dancing” is the word “SOCIAL.” Everything we do as country dancers is centered around people getting together and sharing good times.

If you’re like us, you love going to dance events to dance! At our events, we put social dancing at the center of everything we do. You won’t have to sit for hours on end watching heat after heat of competition just waiting for a turn to dance.

Reason #4: REAL Country Dancing

We love country music, cowboy boots, honky tonkin’, and beer with friends. We believe that real Country Dancing was born for the Dancehalls… Not the Ballrooms. It’s all about bringing people together, making friends, having some laughs, and creating memories that will last forever.

Whether your favorite style is Two Step, Country Swing, West Coast Swing, Waltz, One Step, or something else, you’re welcome to share the true spirit of country dancing with us.

(This is not “Ballroom in Boots” and no hot pink stretchy lycra costumes are required.)

Reason #5: Take Your Dancing To The Next Level

To put it in the most simple terms, you will learn more in 2 days than you have in the last 2 years.

The workshops at CDN aren’t just about teaching you some new moves. By the time you finish the event, you’ll have a completely new understanding of how country dancing actually works. Everything you learn from this point forward will just happen better and faster!

COMPETITION

[The Future Of Country Dancesport]

X Dance Is "Taking The Lead" (Somebody's Got To)

DANCE COMPETITION

The recent state of country dance competitions is broken … to put it mildly. Until now, there have been three very different approaches. The philosophies are so dramatically different that it is causing the country dance community to  splinter and turn on itself.

We believe that regardless of style or which city you are from, we are all one community. We hope to bring country dancers back together with a cohesive “everyone is welcome” approach.

We believe that this new format will achieve the very thing that others have claimed is impossible… bringing the community back together again.

NOTE: All competition entry fees are included with your in person pass!

Be Here Even If You Can't Be Here

LIVE STREAM

We understand that not everyone in the world is able join us in person in Dallas TX. Our next level streaming technology makes it feel like you’re with us in the room.

Unlike other events that set a stationary camera on a tripod in a far corner (so you have to squint to watch tiny little people dance on screen), we will have a full team of professional mobile videographers from one side of the venue to the other capturing every moment from multiple angles… up close and personal.

It will be live TV production quality in every aspect.
