“Easy-ish” Classes

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

 

Easy-ish Pop, Rock and Latin Line Dancing

Easy, fun, social, 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.

Beyond the Basics Ballroom Line Dancing

This ongoing class resumed in October.  We are still welcoming new members with minimum skill set: basics plus box, lindy step,

cha cha rhythm, mambo step, cross rock, coaster, cross shuffle, sweep, scissors, twinkle, and weave.  This course is similar in format

to other line dance classes but the steps include more of the types of steps you'd find on a ballroom floor, and the music is chosen to accommodate those steps. To join, go to "How to Join" below.

 

Wednesdays   10:15 - 11:15 am
