Dorothy Stephenson is the owner and founder of The
Sundance Studio. She grew up on her parent's cattle
farm in Highland County, Virginia where she learned the
value of endurance, determination, and hard work. She
began her clogging career when she was 5 years old,
enrolling in the Little Switzerland Cloggers. Eighteen
years later, she leads the group as the instructor,
director and choreographer. She also founded her own
competitive clogging group, The Sundance Express, in
2006. She has traveled up and down the east coast to
many performances and clogging competitions earning
honors at every competition. This summer she earned
the title of Amatuer Grand Champion Soloist at Dieter's
Clogging Beach Jam and her team, Sundance Express
qualified for the American Clogging Hall of Fame World
Championships in Maggie Valley, N.C. Dorothy also
plans to hold a competition next September, the first
annual Sundance Showdown in her hometown of
Monterey, Virginia. Above all, she says her biggest
accomplishment is her students. "I feel blessed to be
able to be a part of all of my students lives. Each and
every young person is a treasure and should always be
treated as such." Dorothy lives in Monterey with her
husband, Robby.
