In November 2023, over 800 people from all over the world gathered in San Francisco to attend the Sundance Stompede, an LGBTQ+ country-western dance weekend with four days of workshops and exhibition performances across three venues. After 27 years this year is the final Stompede. The film documents the weekend of dancing and the thoughts and reflections of 15 participants. As we journey into the weekend, a film about country-western dancing reveals deeper insights into the power of dance - not only to create community but to offer a profound healing of bodies and minds.
