Dancers of all ages and skill levels are welcomed at EVERY class. I strive to keep everyone excited and engaged by making each class a unique learning experience. You are encouraged to speak up and ask questions, laugh, fellowship and just enjoy yourself.
So...which class or classes should you attend?
If you feel like you have "2 left feet" but you want to line dance this is the class for you! Come learn basic terminology, counts, footwork, and dances with easy to follow steps.
Learn basic terminology, counts, and footwork
Learn dances with easy to follow steps
Dances vary in tempo (slow - very fast)
As your skills develop expect to see slightly more challenging dances
Dances will have more challenging choreography
Dancers are expected to know terminology and how to execute combination steps
Here's a little advice for new (and experienced) line dancers that I found on the innanets. 😁 Keep these in mind when you come to class:
😎You came to learn so don't be afraid to jump in.
Once you learn a few basic steps, such as the grapevine, you will find it much easier to pick up new combinations.
😎Be comfortable.
Wear something casual allows you to move freely and stay comfortable. Don't forget about your feet. Wear a pair of comfy, flat, closed-toed shoes.
😎Stand in the middle.
As a new line dancer, avoid standing in the back, even though you think that's the best place to be. Because line dancing involves lots of turns, you could at some point find yourself in the front of the entire group! Stand somewhere in the middle, the safest place for
beginners.
😎Practice makes perfect
Well, I don't know about perfect but it sure helps the memory out. When you get home it makes a big difference if you just try to practice some of the steps or even the dance that you just learned in class. You may not get it all but you will find that it will have helped you immensely when you attend the next class. And don't worry if you mess up, that's why everyone else is at the class as well, for the practice!
😎Don't be afraid to ask for help
If you don't get a step, feel free to ask right away. Often the instructor will ask, "Do It Again" or "Move On" or "Play The Music". Now is your chance to speak up.
😎Relax and enjoy yourself:
Line dancing is meant to be fun...don't be intimidated if you are a beginner. Remember that everyone started at the beginning. Practice is key. Look around the dance floor and you will probably see people stumbling, tripping and stepping on toes...but they're probably laughing about it! Just go with the flow and enjoy❤
I look forward to seeing you all in class very soon.
