It is an experience you will never forget. The National Convention is in Waco this year. It is not in Texas very often so seize the opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The kickoff for Round-Up 2026 will be on July 12, 2026 at Swingtime Center. This year\u2019s event will be a fun and exciting event. Plans are being made for your dancing pleasure. This year\u2019s lineup includes Ken Burke as the featured caller, David Toms as the staff caller and Marilyn Waguespack, from Freeport, Texas, as the featured cuer. The theme is \u201cDancing for a Cause\u201d.
