Woodland Stompers:

Woodland Stompers practices every Monday 2 PM [Beginners Class 1:30 to 2 PM ] in the room next to the YMCA area of the Woodland Community/Senior Center . We are a friendly line-dance group who dance for exercise, to be social and because it's fun. Our group regularly performs around the area. We welcome all line dancers to come and practice with us. Some experience would be helpful.

Line dancing is fun, good exercise and a great stress reducer that doesn't require a partner. Who can be thinking of their problems when smiling, tapping your heels and toes and swinging around the dance floor to country and popular music.

Roberta and Roger are the leaders for the Woodland Stompers ..... They attend classes elsewhere and bring back new dances for us to learn, Roberta doing the teaching and Roger providing the music. Most of the Stompers also attend Judy Bechthold's classes,

Judy teaches line dancing on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 PM at the Woodland Community Center. Check out her website at http://theVariations.org for class schedules. Once a month we all gather at the Community Center for a "Country Dance.
