You don't need a partner to do line dancing - although we
don't mind if you bring them too!
It is very easy to learn. You'll soon be dancing even if
you've never danced before. If it's your first evening and is a New
Beginner class or a social event for non-dancers, I guarantee you'll
be dancing within 5 minutes of starting to learn a your first line
dance!
It is a good form of general keep-fit and as much (or as
little) exercise as you want to put into it. It is now recommended
by many doctors for gentle heart and lung exercise, for keeping you
supple and exercising those muscles. This is particularly beneficial
if you do no other form of exercise. You can put as much or as
little energy into your dancing as you like - and remember to smile
while you dance!
Also it is excellent for exercising your memory when
learning the dances as well as exercise for your legs. The dances
aren't long at all but learning a new dance and brushing up on old
ones and reviewing recent ones all help.
It is very popular recreation for Women who like to dance.
Ladies no longer require a partner to dance.
Because it is so popular (and just look at some of the
links below for lists of line dancing venues and clubs in the USA
& International Countries) the dances we learn will be done at
other clubs nationwide too. So when you go on holiday abroad
or visit another part of the USA or the Worlk, you can almost
certainly find a class near you. And you'll probably already know
some of the dances they will be doing.
There are always new line dances being written to a new soul or
country album or a great dance track in the pop charts. On most
evenings you'll learn one or two new ones and everyone is at the
same stage when it comes to learning a new dance. Your instructor
will choose a new beginner dance and a new beginner/intermediate
dance to learn each evening. But we'll also be able to enjoy a
good dance to our old familiar favorites.
Beginner dances take only 5 minutes to teach before we are actually
dancing them to music.
Line dance to great music! We use anything from soul,
R&B, together with music from around world including
Latin, salsa ... and more!
... oh yes ... and did I say it's great fun!!!
Come and meet with others in your locality and maybe make some
new friends too. If you are new, do go up to someone you don't
know and say hello and introduce yourself.
Line dancing has proved to be something all ages can enjoy
from 12 onwards with no upper age limit! I remember one lady who had
two crutches and yet she still managed to do a few grapevines and
join in.
