Troy DeRosier

Troy DeRosier was born and raised in Boise, Idaho. Music and dance have been a central part of Troy’s life. He was first inspired by dance through watching his parents swing dance in the kitchen. He credits his music abilities of finding a good beat to his marching band days playing the saxophone and being a drum major. His first introduction to country music and line dance was through his middle school curriculum. Reluctant to country music at first, he found an appreciation after rocking out to “Standing Outside the Fire” by Garth Brooks with a bunch of friends line dancing in the street. At that point he was hooked on getting people together creating a fun dance atmosphere. Troy has been known to bring a crowd together through music and dance throughout his adult life as well. He has been a premier wedding and corporate DJ for over 10 years cultivating a strong, fun and professional dance environment. In 2009 Troy met Elise Lorcher, his current dance partner. Although unfamiliar with swing dance, he took another giant step toward his passion of dance and good music. He learned as much country dance as his two left feet would allow. He thanks Elise for all her patience and her willingness to teach him into the professional Country Swing dancer he is today. Now, recently retired from his DJ duties, Troy enjoys spending his free time with his family and as well as working on other business projects.

Kailyn Brewer

Kailyn Brewer has loved to dance since she was a little girl. Growing up you could always find her dancing in the rain or in her mother’s kitchen.

She found her passion for ballroom dance during her college years where she spent a lot of time learning to dance Salsa, Bachata, East Coast and West Coast Swing.

Since coming to Idaho, she has settled into Country Swing and Line Dancing in her spare time. She met her husband out on the dance floor and together they enjoyed their first date of tacos and a DRD swing lesson out at the Buffalo Club. She came out more and more frequently for classes and she bonded with her new dance family. She later joined Dirt Road Dancing’s Showcaser team and performed with them at a variety of events including the Western Idaho Fair.

When asked why she likes DRD, she says, it’s the people. She is so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful dance community.

Kailyn believes dance is the best therapy. She hopes to spread her love of dance to others out on the dance floor.

When Kailyn is not on the dance floor, you can find her dancing in her kitchen, at the gym with her husband training for their next Spartan Race, hiking, camping, swimming, kayaking, reading, or baking something sweet.

Madison Lindley

Madison Lindley grew up in Northern California before making Idaho her home in 2015. She spent much of her childhood dancing ballet, where she developed a deep love for music and a passion for intricate choreography. That same love for movement eventually led her to her local country dance floor. In 2022, Madison discovered the joy of line dancing—and the fun, fashionable outfits that came with it. Not long after, she joined the Dirt Road Dancing Showcase Team in 2023.

Her time on the dance floor brought more than just joy—it also introduced her to new friends and eventually to her husband, Jonathan Lindley, whom she met in class.

Outside of dancing, Madison has a heart for caring for others. She has been a dedicated nurse at St. Luke’s Medical Center for over 10 years. In her spare time, she loves to travel and take her family dancing at The Farm Dance Hub in Garden City, Idaho.

Kayla Flint

Dancing has been a passion for Kayla Flint for as long as she can remember, no matter the style. Her love for dance began in childhood, starting in clogging shoes before trading them in for sneakers and a cheer uniform. From middle school through college, she was a member of cheer and dance squads, where she enjoyed choreographing routines and leading her team.

While finishing her degree at Southern Oregon University, Kayla rediscovered her love for dance at a local honky tonk. She learned her first line dances, entered her first competition, and dipped her toe into country swing. After moving to Boise in early 2024, she felt out of place and unsure, until the welcoming Dirt Road Dancing community helped her regain confidence and grow her skills. Soon she was dancing five nights a week—refining her country swing technique, learning two-step and west coast swing, and expanding her line dance repertoire. Through this journey, Kayla found more than rhythm—she found her place. Now, she’s eager to pay it forward.

Kayla knows how intimidating those first steps onto the dance floor can be. Her goal is to be the kind of teacher and role model she has looked up to—someone who makes dance feel fun, empowering, and welcoming for everyone.

When she’s not dancing, you’ll find Kayla wine tasting, cuddling her dog, or in the mountains camping, hunting, or taking part in an archery shoot. She looks forward to dancing with you soon!

Sancho Ridesatthedoor

Sancho was born and raised in Missoula, Montana, and graduated from Carroll College in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in Health Science and Public Health. During his college years, he competed as a collegiate athlete in cross country and track, developing both discipline and endurance.

In 2019, he moved to Boise, Idaho, and joined the Idaho National Guard in 2020, continuing his commitment to service and personal growth.

Sancho’s journey into country swing dancing began reluctantly—sparked by a freshman PE class in high school. What started as an uncomfortable assignment evolved over the years into a deep passion that’s shaped his life. With nearly 20 years of country swing experience, his love for dance eventually led him to explore other styles. In 2022, he began learning West Coast Swing and has since enjoyed blending both forms into his unique expression of movement and rhythm.
