Come -- Kick up your heels! Learn new choreography, build confidence, & stay active. =}
In truth, this is not a beginner class, but if you know some dance steps already, the upbeat tunes and swift pace will get you hoppin'!
Yes, this is mid-day.
Yes, it's at a senior center (AKA community center).
Yes, the instructor is an Elder.
Yes, most attendees are as well.
And... They turn out 60+ people many days and they really move!
(On a cool summer day, I worked up a sweat; which I can't say for all other line dance classes I've taken.)
And it's only $1 / hour.
TWO HOURS
The 1st hour is "easier;" but it would not be kind or fun for a novice.
The 2nd hour is billed as "advanced" -- basically, those who stay for the 2nd hour have been coming long enough they don't need any instruction on the dances they do.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Music:
Varied -- quite a bit of country, but a nice variety of rock with a great beat, including Michael Jackson -- LOL!
'Nice sound system
Attire:
Anything goes from dressed up to workout gear
A of regulars dawn their western boots for the classes, but they're not required
Participation:
The instructor is friendly and personable
Turnout in the summer is often 60 people or more, generally retirement age and older
All ages welcome
The vibe is low-key, low-pressure
Folks are friendly; lots of laughter
MEETING YOU THERE
I hope to attend most Mondays and / or (more likely) Tuesdays
If I know you're coming I'll make a special effort to be there and will look for you; if you get there and see me 1st, don't be shy about saying hi!

$ / REGISTRATION
There is a charge for this class
The cost is $1 / hour (cash only)
It's listed here on MeetUp as free because you pay the instructor in-person, not me here online
Drop-in basis -- there's no official registration for the event
If you let me know you're attending here on MeetUp, I'll make an extra effort to get there and greet you
I love-love-love western line dance -- let's learn together!
