Mitchell Thompson hails from a family with a strong square dancing background, which naturally drew him to the activity. He began learning square dancing at age 13 and joined the Rocky Mountain Dancers. However, he soon found his true passion in round dancing, learning to cue under John Herr. By 2005, Mitchell became a member of Roundalab, where he has been cueing and teaching classes ever since.

Now one of the leading cuers in the Denver area, he teaches over 10 clubs across Colorado and enjoys introducing beginners to round dancing. He has choreographed dances and has taught his work at state and national conventions.

Mitchell met his dance partner, Chelsea, at his first national convention in 2004. They began teaching together in 2013 and were married in 2017. They enjoy dancing at phases II-VI and have recently started social ballroom dancing. They look forward to seeing everyone on the dance floor!
