Robert Royston - The Future Of Country Dance
In this powerful video podcast, Anthony sits down with one of the most decorated figures in partner dance history—Robert Royston—for a no-holds-barred conversation about the past, present, and future of country dancing. With decades of championship titles across swing and country —not to mention multiple Hall of Fame inductions—Robert brings an unmatched level of insight, experience, and honesty to the discussion. Together, they talk about how the competition world evolved, why the UCWDC lost its connection to social dancers, and how grassroots events and bar competitions are sparking a massive resurgence in country swing and Two Step. From stories about the early days of the World Championships to the importance of preserving authenticity in country dance, this episode is both a deep dive into history and a hopeful vision for the future. Robert also shares his vision behind the Royston Method, a unique approach to movement and longevity in dance. If you care about where country dance is headed—or if you just love hearing two passionate dancers geek out over the good, the bad, and the hopeful—don’t miss this one.
