The 2025 Emerald City Hoedown will feature over 40 hours of workshops, featuring guest instructors from all over North America as well as our regular Rain Country Dance Association instructors and favorites from the Northwest. We will have three tracks of workshops on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in ballrooms and meeting rooms on two floors of the hotel — both Country Couples (two rooms, for different sized workshops) and Line Dance.
A sample Saturday schedule in the past has looked like the example below.
We'll be announcing this via email and social media once our final Emerald City Hoedown schedule has been finalized and is public.
