Dust Off Your Boots: Country & Western Dance Workshop

In 2018, Karen and Tom Whaley started a six-week “dance party” for Kendal residents and waitlist members. Over seven years later, those parties haven’t stopped! What began as a trial run has turned into a thriving weekly club, and now we’re inviting you to join the fun.


If you’ve ever wanted to explore Country and Western partner dancing, we are offering a four-week beginner workshop starting March 24.


  • What we’ll learn: Basic steps for the Texas Two-Step, Country Waltz, and several other couples dances.
  • The Vibe: Low-pressure and high-energy. We believe “perfection is boring”—we’re here for the laughs, the community, and the exercise.
  • No Experience? No problem. This is a true beginner level. Casual clothes and comfortable shoes.

The Details:

  • Times: Tuesdays, 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
  • Dates: March 24 & 31 and April 7 & 14th
  • Where: Group Fitness Room, Kendal Fitness Center
  • Who: Kendal residents and waitlist members

Class size is limited to keep things comfortable.
