The Sundance Association for Country-Western Dancing is an all-volunteer, community-based, and community-supported 501c3 nonprofit organization, dedicated to promoting country-western dancing in the LGBT community.
The Sundance Association is best known for Sundance Saloon, providing country-western dance lessons and dancing twice a week in San Francisco.
The Sundance Association also brings country-western dancing to community events such as the San Francisco Gay Pride celebration and the Castro Street Fair, provides a vehicle for dance and vocal performers to showcase their talents, and raises funds for other nonprofit organizations. To date, the Sundance Association has raised over $90,000 for other charities, including the AIDS/Breast Cancer Emergency Fund, the Bay Area Breast Cancer Network, the Positive Resource Center, New Leaf, Larkin Street Youth Services, and many more organizations.
The Sundance Stompede began in 2001 as an outgrowth of the annual Hoedown, a gala benefit dance that started in 1997. The Sundance Stompede has grown in scope and attendance and now attracts hundreds of country-western dance aficionados from all over the world. The Sundance Stompede has become a major contributor to San Francisco charities, raising over $29,000 in the past two years alone.
The growth of the Sundance Stompede is a testament to the Sundance Association’s dedication to creating an event worthy of the community it represents.
