The Last Dance
The Sundance Stompede is an extraordinary multi-day country-western dance weekend in San Francisco for the LGBTQ+ community and its friends, attracting hundreds of people every year. More than just dancing, it is an experience that brings people together and builds community in a way that has to be seen to be believed. After 27 years of the event, this year’s Stompede will be the last.
xFilm had exclusive access to the lifespan of the final event as the preparation began and the doors opened, til the last dance had and the goodbye hugs felt. Across four days of dancing and friendship we met the people on the dance floor and behind the event, discovering how it has touched their lives. THE LAST DANCE will be an immersive experience for an audience, full of character, happiness and warmth. What will rise to the surface is an incredible sense of community, friendship and a shared narration about how this community formed from the most simple pleasure – a dance.
