MEET'CHA THERE! – Learn to Line Dance

About this event

Come -- Kick up your heels! Learn new choreography, build confidence, & stay active. =*}

In truth, this is not a beginner class, but if you know some dance steps already, the upbeat tunes and swift pace will get you hoppin'!

Yes, this is mid-day. Yes, it's at a senior center (AKA community center). Yes, the instructor is an Elder. Yes, most attendees are as well. And... They turn out 60+ people many days and they really move! (On a cool summer day, I worked up a sweat; which I can't say for all other line dance classes I've taken.) And it's only $1 / hour.

TWO HOURS

• The 1st hour is "easier;" but it would not be kind or fun for a novice.

• The 2nd hour is billed as "advanced" -- basically, those who stay for the 2nd hour have been coming long enough they don't need any instruction on the dances they do.

WHAT TO EXPECT Music:

• Varied -- quite a bit of country, but a nice variety of rock with a great beat, including Michael Jackson -- LOL!

• 'Nice sound system

Attire:

• Anything goes from dressed up to workout gear

• A # of regulars dawn their western boots for the classes, but they're not required

Participation:

• The instructor is friendly and personable

• Turnout in the summer is often 60 people or more, generally retirement age and older

• All ages welcome

• The vibe is low-key, low-pressure

• Folks are friendly; lots of laughter

MEETING YOU THERE
