Calendar May 1, 2025 at 7 pm, runs for 6 weeks

Line dancing is accessible to everyone, fun for all, and no partner is needed! This will not be strictly country line dancing as a wide range of music will be used. Those who have done jazz and ballroom dancing will enjoy this form of dance, too. Dances will be varied and suited for beginner and experienced students. Wear clothing that is comfortable and cool, and shoes should also be comfortable and not difficult to dance on (I.e. shoes that don't stick to the floor and make it difficult to move the feet). After class starts, you can still drop in. Drop-in Fee is $10 per class
