Newbie at Line Dancing - choose your style of learning?
Never learned line dancing before, no problem.  I have several ideas on how to learn and be kicking up your heals in no time! You can speed learn at 4-hour mini-workshops, attend weekly structured classes or go to open dancing/lessons at Holiday Lanes in Kalamazoo.

Line dancing will make you a stronger dancer generally speaking. You will become familiar with your own body moving on the floor and exercise your mind as you are memorizing new moves & whole routines. It's a great way to make new friends who have a passion for dancing.

Issue for Newbie's: Ok, I'm at an area country bar, how in the heck do all these folks know all these dances and catch onto the teaching so fast?

Solution: Keep coming to the open dancing/teaching at Holiday Lanes on Tuesday nights and you'll pick up a little each time. Or you can speed learn by attending Level 1 mini-workshops for beginners to learn the foundation steps. The 3rd option is to come to a weekly structured class.  I teach through the Portage Community Education Department on Wednesday nights.  Click on "Dance Class and Information" tab above then click on "Country Line Dancing" category.  Class start with 3 levels on January 18, 2012.

There are 22 foundation steps with many variations within the Level1 list. Once you have learned the foundation steps it becomes less frustrating to learn new routines. Level 2 consists of a 2nd checklist of Beginner Plus to Easy-Intermediate steps that are commonly used. The 2nd checklist has 21 steps on it. Once you have learned the steps and variations of all "43 steps" in Level 1 & 2, you are well on the road of dancing with confidence.

4-HOUR MINI-WORKSHOPS: $18 cash/person - includes cue sheets & music - 3 Levels of learning - 8:30AM-12:30PM
