What makes us different? You don't have to know how to line dance to start. We will teach you!
Classes
Ultra Beginner/Beginner/Improver
- Ultra Beginners have not line danced before. The only prerequisite is that you know your left from your right. Ultra Beginner dance classes teach basic steps such as the GRAPEVINE, POINTS, STOMPS, SLIDES, the SHUFFLE, and the WEAVE.
- Beginners know the basics steps but need additional practice and are looking to add to their dance repertoire. Most beginner dances are 32 count dances.
- Improvers are are ready for a challenge. Improver dances can be 32 to 64 count and often include syncopation and “tags” or re-starts.
You are ready to line dance!
For a chance to watch beginner or improver dances go to CopperKNOB
