    We would like to invite you to Lone Star Championships' third year! Each year we've seen Lone Star get bigger and better, and this year promises even more.

    - Even more of the world's finest dancers and instructors teaching amazing workshops.
    - Multiple nights of music from the Live Music Capital of the World's best jazz musicians.
    - Inspiring competitions and performances - along with a special new contest.

    But one thing hasn't changed. Lone Star is a social event first. Not only because we plan the event such that you get TONS of social dance, but also because the competitions are social dance competitions - Jack and Jills and Strictlys. Think of this as an exchange... on steroids.

    Check out some quotes from Last year:

    "I looooooove LoneStar! I've gone the last 2 years and have had a blast both times! The locals are welcoming and everyone who comes is encouraging. I left Austin feeling encouraged and humbled by the words of encouragement that I received. Even the security guard at the airport had nice thing to say when he checked my bag to find my LoneStar trophy (they must've thought I was going to use it as a throwing star or something). When he learned it was a trophy, he congratulated me and asked what a jack and jill was. There's nothing like texas hospitality to make an event great!"

    "I really enjoyed the band and the contests were way more fun than expected! I'll definately be coming back to this event!"

    "Bonus gifts, included in the weekend pass, were: unique venues, southern hospitality and spring-like weather in the middle of winter."
