Testimonial: Morgan Kestner

Stompology is in one word “amazing!” A whole weekend that is dedicated to solo quality movement, is something that all levels of dancers can appreciate. Not only are the classes are worth every minute, the energy that everyone brings to this weekend is something that makes not you want to leave for home! Hardly knowing anyone ( being from the south), it was no problem to easily fall in with everyone and have a great time. I have made some great friends from this event.

Testimonial: Joanna Lucero

Stompology is one of my favorite events of the year. I was lucky enough to have attended the first Stompology during my first year of dancing, and it marked a great personal change. I was not comfortable in jams, or doing solo dancing of any kind up until that point. Stompology’s classes helped me step out of my comfort zone without feeling like I was being thrown off into the deep end. And, each year, it is the event at which I can clearly note the changes in the development of my own personal style. I highly recommend this event – both for those wanting to step out of their shy shell, and for those who are experienced and wanting to take their solo dancing to the next level.

Testimonial: Carl Nelson

I remember when I lived in Rochester, NY and there was always talk about starting an all solo-jazz weekend.  Now they’ve had three and this year is the fourth, and I’ve been to all of them and I wouldn’t miss it even if I were in the hospital (and I was one year).

Stompology helps give you the tools to be a better dancer not just a better lindy hopper.  Whether its refining your choreography skills, solo jamming in circles, or brushing up on your soft shoe – Stompology offers the best instructors with great material for you in one of the most welcoming atmospheres.

This year it’s your turn to go.
