Weekly line dance classes
Have you always wanted to learn how to line dance? Or maybe you know the basics but want to take your skills to the next level. We’ve got classes for every skill level and more than 40 years combined line dancing and teaching experience.
We’ll walk you through the steps of a song a few at a time and review them over and over until you know them well. By the time 20 minutes have passed, you’ll practically be an expert at dancing that tune.
Below you’ll find pictures and videos to give you a glimpse into what we do at class and information on where and when to join us. Line dancing is a great way to get exercise, make friends, and have fun, so we hope to see you at one of our classes in the near future.

Our ultra beginner line dance classes focus on teaching the foundational steps and principles of line dancing. You will learn the 20 – 30 basic line dance steps that comprise most dances and begin combining them in the beginner songs we will teach you. We also work on counting steps, executing easy turns, and incorporating simple techniques. Within just a few weeks, you’ll be flowing through your first few dances and picking up new combinations and songs more easily.

Improver Line Dance Lessons
Once you’ve mastered the basics of line dancing, you probably want to challenge yourself to tackle intermediate moves, incorporate more turns, and try harder dances. Our Improver Class is just the place to learn these skills. We’ll teach you more complex combinations of steps, show you some new turns, and teach dances that are a little longer than in beginner classes.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Anything comfortable that will allow you to move and turn easily is ideal. Bowling shoes with suede on the bottoms, cowboy boots, sneakers and loafers are all great for dancing. Crocs and high heels are not recommended. There are also sneakers made for line dancing that can be found online. Some people wear “shoe booties” over the toes of their shoes to promote sliding and the ability to turn easier. Dancing in your socks is okay, however, dancing barefoot is not allowed.
No. Classes and dances are pay-as-you-go.
There is no age limit in line dancing. We recommend that children are of an age where they can comprehend and follow basic instructions, most likely around the age of 8 and above. On the other end of the spectrum, we know people well into their 90s who take to the dance floor.
Yes. While considered a low impact form of exercise, it can also be very aerobic depending on how many dances you do in a row, and how many nights per week you go dancing. It is great for building muscle strength in the legs.
No. Line dancing is an activity that you can do all by yourself.
Everyone learns at their own pace. If the ultra beginner class is too boring and not challenging enough, it may be time to try the next level. The only real way to know is to try a higher level and see if it is the right fit for you. There’s no harm in being a lifer in the beginner class!
