Stompology Wrap-Up

Our fifth Stompology has come to a close and it was yet another success! We hope you all had as much fun as we did and that you’ll come back and join us for Stompology 2011!

We just want one more thing from you. Please fill out our feedback form and let us know what you think. The good, the bad and anything that you think could make Stompology better next year! We really value your comments and hope that you take a few minutes to fill out our anonymous, 10-question form.

We have something for you too! It was very inspiring to us (and we hope to you!) to hear all of the references to old dance clips and dancers. Sharon has done us all a huge favor and posted her references to her blog! Check it out here and stay inspired!

Thank you to each and every attendee for recognizing the value of solo movement and supporting our efforts to preserve and evolve this dance form, all of our volunteers for taking time away from dancing and classes to help us run the event smoothly, the locals who hosted out-of-town dancers, the musicians for keeping us dancing even when we’ve sweat through our clothes, and, of course, our instructors! Mike, Sharon, Juan and Bethany made this a truly unique and inspiring event.

We hope you’ll all come back and visit us for our 13th Steven and Virginie workshop, November 5-7, 2010.

With love and sore legs,
Team Stompo
Mike, Alex, Beth, Michelle, Jesse, Ross and Rebecca
