Country Nomads

Country Nomads is a veteran owned and operated business. Owners Gabriel Dubois, Kacee Crandall and Joel Bartlett started CN in 2019. This trio's primary focus is on Country Swing Instruction.

Country Nomads owns a dance studio in Mesa Arizona, called Nomads Studio which opened Feb 2020. They offer group lessons, bootcamps, and private lessons seven days a week with a focus on Country Swing and Line Dance. 

To help our students we teach using syllabus based lessons, created by Gabriel Dubois, called the Nomads Method. (Simply put, that is the way Country Nomads teaches Country Swing.) Our curriculum includes a basic home step, timing, a set list of 24 beginner moves, footwork, and drills & exercises for technique focused learning.  We also focus on Frame, Connection and Control and how they create safe, fun, and relaxed dancing to almost any music with no yanking or pulling. 

Country Nomads has also had the opportunity to found, co-found, direct, be on staff at Dance Conventions, music festivals and events putting on workshops and competitions across the country.

These unique and incredible 1-4 dance events help bridge communities and styles with instructors and regional styles from across the US that can help bring on a whole new level of dancing, friendship and community.
