Business spotlight
Lisa Suchomel teaches country line dancing at her home in Cheyenne. Suchomel is the owner of Boots Gone Wild and answered questions about her lessons that are gaining popularity in Cheyenne.
Q: Why did you create Boots Gone Wild?
Suchomel: “I have a passion for line dancing and wanted to share that with others who want to learn.”
Q: How long have you been dancing?
Suchomel: “I started line dancing in February of 2025.”
Q: Why did you choose to teach line dancing?
Suchomel: “I started to have a passion for teaching when I was taking classes in Colorado and became quite proficient (I am an intermediate line dancer), but I had a great instructor and would never encroach on her territory. When I moved to Cheyenne and realized there are only a few dance classes here (and pretty much beginner-only), I decided to start my own business.”
Q: How long are your classes for?
Suchomel: “Ninety minutes, two nights a week, Mondays and Thursdays. Monday is an improver lesson, and Thursday is for beginners.”
Q: Where are they held?
Suchomel: “At my home in the pole barn. Here is my email for anyone interested in attending: cheyennelinedance@gmail.com “
Q: What’s the cost of classes?
Suchomel: “$10.00.”
Q: What age group can take them?
Suchomel: “Age 12 plus. But ages 12 to 15 must be accompanied by an adult, (at least until I get to know the student).”
Q: How many people have taken classes from you so far?
Suchomel: “I had 38 people in my first class, and that dropped to half, which was expected. I believe some who try it and don’t perform as they expected they would, get discouraged or embarrassed, but they shouldn’t because the more one dances, the better one will become. I would love to create an amazing line dance community here in Cheyenne.”
Q: Why bring Boots Gone Wild to Cheyenne?
Suchomel: “As stated above, from what I’ve seen, the classes here are basic beginner lessons. My goal is to teach the basics and advance my students to the improver/intermediate level.”
