The Rocky Mountain Dream Team was formed by Jo Thompson in 2002 which was a result of the Dancing for the Dream Foundation. There are well over 20 team members from the Rocky Mountain area.

The Dancing For The Dream ® Corporation introduces line dancing to Seniors to encourage a more active and healthy lifestyle. Research indicates that regular exercise is necessary to improve and maintain one’s quality of life. Repeating patterns of low-impact line dance steps is a fun - aerobic - country western style form of exercise affecting both the body and the mind! The end result reduces the cost of taking care of seniors by keeping them active, healthy, and happy.

Line Dancing is now an official sport in the National Senior Olympics. The Rocky Mountain Dream Team performed at the National Senior Games in Virginia Beach in May 2003. They competed in the Colorado Senior Games and received a Gold Metal for their “Splish Splash” Performance.

Eight of the Rocky Mountain Dream Team members came to Rapid City for the Black Hills Dance Festival in April 2004 and performed their Cut-A-Rug routine with the Black Hills Steppers.
