“Easy-ish” Classes 

 For line dancers who know line dance basics and prefer to keep it easy. 

 ​​

Monday Easy-ish Pop, Rock and Latin Line Dancing"  -  restarts June 1 with all new material!

This class, (formerly known as Easy-ish Pop, Rock and Latin Line Dancing) is easy, fun, social and active! All dances will be

taught/reviewed, fully cued, and set to your favorite rock, pop, and Latin tunes. Similar to the "Beyond the Basics",

this is an ongoing class, but with a more relaxed pace and somewhat easier repertoire. 

Dances feature elements such as vine, rocking chair, jazz square, v-step, lindy, mambo, and box step.  

This lively class stays active from start to finish, covering a dozen-plus dances each time.  We often roll out fresh dances and

new elements so there’s always an exciting challenge waiting on the dance floor!

Course restarts are infrequent so this is a good opportunity to join this class without the stress of having to learn previously taught dances.
