NEWCOMERS & BEGINNERS  (LEVEL 1)

​6:00 p.m. -7:00 p.m.  --This entry-level class is especially tailored for absolute beginning line dancers to get started with basic dance rhythms, short combinations, and easy-to-do, low-impact line dances.  Learn how to do the 5 dance rhythms used in all social dancing, recognize typical line dance steps and patterns used at weddings and dance parties, build a vocabulary for line dancing, and become more comfortable moving to music.  
All  skill levels are welcome to come and practice the Level 1 line dances whether as a warm-up and/or a way to get more low-impact aerobic exercise.

New to line dancing?  This class is for you!  Get orientated to moving in relation to the four walls of the room with low-impact aerobics (like walking to music as you keep one foot on the floor at all times). As you increase the length of time moving to the music, you will gradually improve your stamina, balance, and footwork.  A variety of music styles from country to non-country not only adds variety but also introduces you to different styles of line dancing! 

Can't make it each week?  Join us when you can as we have a drop-in format with new line dances each week, lots of practice and review time too! 
                          
*******BREAK 7:00-7:10  p.m.*******

HIGH-BEGINNERS & INTERMEDIATES (LEVEL 2)

​7:10 - 8:10 p.m.  --Learn more challenging step patterns, syncopated rhythms, turn techniques, and line dance choreography! This class extends the difficulty from level 1 for improver and intermediate level line dancers, yet will keep the focus on flow, fun, and non-stop movement to build cardiovascular fitness benefits.  New line dances are taught each week along with a review of the previous week's line dances (or classic, or popular line dances--by request).  Low-impact options are given for all line dances across a variety of music styles.  This class will help you to not only increase your endurance and stamina, but also add self-expression, personality, and engage your brain too!
