Today’s line dancing is a combination of many different styles danced to all types of music, whether it is jazz and ballroom steps to country music, hip hop moves to Latin music, or mambo steps to golden oldies. Line dance is great for the mind and the body-or simply an organized way to move to fun music without feeling awkward. Learn several beginner line dances to popular music. This class covers footwork, musical phrasing, dance styes and how to find and read step sheets.
