Beginner Line Dancing to Rock/Pop Songs

$30

Calendar Feb 10, 2026 at 6 pm, runs for 3 weeks

This is a beginner/slightly intermediate class that does not increase in difficulty. It focuses on everyone meeting for community and having fun. I choreograph light and easy, short dances to 80’s through current rock/pop songs. We break them down, then rehearse them 3-4 times before doing it to music. We usually get through 4 or 5 dances in one hour. The goal is to experience the basics of line dancing with confidence, relaxation, and joy. *This program runs for 3 weeks on the specified dates: 2/10, 2/17, 2/24.
