This class is open to all levels! The first 30 minutes will be dedicated to learning some basic steps and doing basic beginner dances – this is perfect if you are new to line dancing. The remainder of the class will be beginner and up. We will be dancing to a mix of music. Line dancing is not only fun, it’s also good for your mind and body and it’s a great stress buster because we usually laugh a lot.
