WCFO US Member Clubs
                      (Listed alphabetically by State)

Our SouthWest K9 DanceSport club was established in May 2006. Our home base is in Tucson, Arizona and we have satellite clusters of freestyers throughout Arizona, Southern and Mid California

Our primary focus this past year has been to develop our name, by-laws, mission statement, logo and begin to grow our membership.  We are actively involved in demonstrations in Arizona and Southern California.

In addition, we provide on-going freestyle classes to Beginner and Intermediate students. We teach a Performance and Competition class, as well as a Handler’s Only Class. Many of our members have certified therapy dogs and enjoy sharing freestyle with the patients of many facilities.

CRR presently has approximately 15 members from Maryland and Northern Virginia.

We are hoping to encourage more 4Hers in the Washington Metropolitan area to try freestyle. Most of our members are also involved in other dog sports as well, including field, agility, conformation, obedience, herding, and flyball.

We are located in the Buffalo, New York area.

We actually got together after a reporter from the Buffalo Evening News contacted me and wanted to do an article on freestyle. I was just a freelancing beginner and tried to get him to contact someone with experience and all, but he was insistent on doing a local piece and tailored the article to also include the fact that we are looking for others in our area to start a club and bring the sport of freestyling to Western New York.

So....  he actually inspired the formation of our club and now I am actually giving freestyle lessons at an area Dog Academy to help others get started, and then this allows them an opportunity to meet the three of us (albeit beginners) that got the club off the ground. Once we are a bit more established, I’m going to give our reporter a call and see if he’s interested in what he started.  :o)

There are so many people wanting to try it out and play and dance, I didn’t realize we’ve started a monster I think. I’ve been developing and working on and using a curriculum to fit our 8 week set for our Exploring Freestyle sessions and the next session will be doing actual routines, choreography, music editing and addressing costuming. We have found a dance friend who is a great choreographer with a lot of fantastic suggestions and ideas to come in and give us a hand on what we can do to jazz up the human side of the partners, so we compliment our furry partner. It’s a long journey toward an actual routine, but we are well on our way and we all go home having had a great time with our very tired dance partners curled up asleep by our side.

Bark-A-Ritaville Freestylers is located in the Harrisburg/York PA area. We get together Saturdays at our training center and dance and have fun with our dogs. We provide training for beginners through advanced.  Our members actively show their dogs in freestyle and are successful. Some take the skills they learned in freestyle and use them to compete in Rally. Our motto is we can't make any dog do anything but we can make them want to do it through our fun training methods.  Our club was born in 2004 and we have been hosting annual events since 2005.  We enjoy seeing our freestyle friends both flesh and fur at our events. In 2006 we started our program of training dogs at the York SPCA and giving free monthly seminars to the public to promote freestyle and training in the community.  We also participate in a local school's career day and talk about training and freestyle and demonstrate with our dogs.  We are a small group who cares deeply about our dogs and our freestyle sport and love to share our knowledge.  We welcome questions and visitors.
