🔥 MOVE WITH MEANING. DANCE WITH HEART. 🔥
From a young dancer with big dreams to a master of movement and expression,
Stacey’s journey proves dance is about more than steps - it’s about meaning.

💥 SSLDC Styling Workshop with STACEY
📅 7 February 2026
⏰ 10:00am – 4:00pm
💸 Absolutely FREE to attend

Stacey began dancing at a very young age and pursued this passion all the way to completing a Master’s Degree in Contemporary Dance, where she developed a deep understanding of whole-body movement, storytelling, and emotional expression 🎭✨

She is a founding member of Cowboys and Angels, a dance family built on friendship that has remained strong for over 20 years 🤠💙. In 2007, she co-opened C&A Dance Academy with Kate, helping nurture and inspire dancers across Australia.

Stacey has featured in major productions including Australia’s Got Talent and Everybody Dance Now, bringing line dance and performance to the national stage 📺🔥
Her contribution to the community was recognised with her induction into the SSLDC Hall of Fame, celebrating over 20 years of promoting line dance both socially and competitively 🏆

In 2013, Stacey was selected for a prestigious scholarship by Nicola Lafferty and Rachel McEnaney-White to represent Australia at World Dance Masters 🇦🇺🌍
By 2015, she became the first female Australian WDM All Star ⭐ and has since achieved world title success across Solos, Duos, Quads, Country Classic & Standard Teams.

Now a WDM qualified judge, Stacey is also deeply involved in training Team Australia members preparing for Worlds 2026 💪✨

💬 “Traditional line dance steps can be transformed with styling and technique to convey emotion and tell a story. Dance should inspire, be innovative, and leave the audience feeling something.”

✨ If you’re ready to move with intention, emotion, and presence — this workshop is for you. 💃

✨ STYLING WORKSHOP featuring Jamie Robinson ✨

💥 SSLDC Styling Workshop
📅 7 February 2026
⏰ 10:00am – 4:00pm
💸 Absolutely FREE to attend

Get ready, because Jamie is awesome, he is a really cool guy… and yes, he can dance really good 💃🕺 (like world-title good 😉).

Jamie’s dance journey kicked off in the late 1990s, winning national titles across Australia with Cowboys and Angels 🤠✨. But the big turning point came in 2013, when World Dance Masters founders Nicola & Sam visited Tamworth—sparking a pathway that led to the very first Australian Masters 🇦🇺🌍.

By 2014, Team Australia was born, heading to Blackpool with just 4 dancers… and coming back with BIG results! 🏆🔥 Jamie took out an Intermediate World Title and became part of a powerhouse Aussie team winning across Quads, Teams, Duos & Solos.

Oh—and did we mention Jamie became Australia’s very first WDM All Star ⭐ and performed in a World Dance Masters showcase with Countryvive? Yep. Pretty cool guy indeed 😎

Since then, Jamie has played a huge role in growing World Dance Masters in Australia, inspiring dancers to step onto the world stage 🌎💙

👉 Join us for this Styling Workshop and learn from someone who doesn’t just dance… he dances really good 😜✨

🎶 Style. Technique. Confidence.
🚀 Don’t miss it!
