Western Attire Welcome

Think ranch vibes – your favorite broken-in denim, boots already in your closet, an easy button-down, or your favorite spring dress with florals like wild plains blooms. Add a hint of turquoise or a simple bolo tie if you’re feeling it. Keep it relaxed and wear what’s already in your closet - or use it as an excuse to find something new.

An Evening of Community

• Sign up for unforgettable buy-in parties & teacher experiences

• Bid Big: Try your luck at raffles & Westside unique items

• Raise your paddle in support of Tuition Assistance

• Try dancing with Wildflower Dance Company, who will be onsite leading a 30 minute large-group lesson and calling a high-energy hoedown. Who says dance class is just for the students at Westside?

  Take it to the corners, bow to your partner, and jump in. No experience needed - just a little grit and a good sense of humor.
