In May of 2005, Dorothy Stephenson was
working a 9-5 job and decided that she
wanted something more out of life and
decided to pursue her true passion....
dance! With 17 years of clogging
experience under her belt she gave her two
weeks notice and set out in hopes of
starting a dance studio.
An old electrical shop on Rt. 640 was
recreated into a dance studio, The
Sundance Studio. Classes began and grew.
The Sundance Express, a precision
competition clogging team, was formed.
After some painting and decorating, the
barn began to look more like a studio.
Then, the opportunity for growth came. A
charming location in mid-Monterey was
offered to Dorothy for Sundance. Knowing
that it would increase class sizes, she
jumped on the opportunity and began the
transition.
