Wilddancer attended the annual US country western dancing championships in Nashville (“Music City”) during the week starting with New Year’s Eve, where hundreds of slender, fit people vied for top honors in eight different couples dances plus line dances and team dances. These folks were all having fun and staying in shape at the same time.
This is a must for enthusiastic dancers to country western music–including polka, triple two-step, nightclub two-step, cha cha, waltz, (cowboy) two-step, east coast swing, and west coast swing—the eight dances whose competition is sanctioned by the UCWDC (United Country Western Dance Council). Held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, it includes not only competitions and workshops, but also social dancing, shows, shopping, parties, and more. Check it out at UCWDC Worlds. See you there!
