Line Dancing Level 1, New Beginner (Classes 1A & 1B)

Posted on by emilyj

This class is for both brand-new dancers and those who are looking for a review of basic line dance steps and combinations. We will cover both the language and movements that are unique to line dancing, equipping students to be able to know the names of basic steps/patterns and how to do them. The teaching pace will be slow and repetitive to allow new dancers the opportunity to gain confidence as well as ability on the dance floor. We will use a variety of music, in a relaxed, social atmosphere. No previous dance experience required.
