The 2009 Season

April & I strive to bring you the latest and most upbeat international line dances available. If you're new to line dancing I encourage you to read the history an evolution of line dancing by David Powell. David has really captured the changes around Line Dancing over the recent years and why the country image is still the impression in the public eye even today. Today's younger generations and the ability to share dances over the internet has brought on the biggest change I have ever seen in line dancing. We now have some of the best choreography / music making line dancing more appealing to the general public than ever before. Line dancing is for anyone, any age, single or married and today's line dances are choreographed to many dance styles, Waltz, Cha Cha, Rumba and Swing to name a few. If you studying ball room dance and don't have a partner on a specific night this is a change for you to get out and work on your rise-and-fall during a Waltz, or the Cuban motion to Rumba. YouTube brings us the ability to visually see and learn dances, you will notice that most of the dances we teach also include a link to the video for you reference. As a side note you will noticed that many of the line dance videos are upload by Sue and Kathy who I personally feel do a great job presenting choreography, click to learn more about them. Our classes are designed for all levels, you can start any time just show up with a shoes that allows you to move on the wood floor, sneakers are not a good choice because they grip the floor and won't allow movement. Don't forget to bring bottled water and your sense of humor!

I am really excited about the dance selection we selected to kick off the 2009 season and the large turnout is really motivating. So if your a new or experienced line dancer we have something for you, come check it out and see what is happening just 10 minutes from Ballantyne or RockHill in Ft. Mill. - Walkins welcome every Monday Evening

Dancing Tips

Quoted From Central Home - Dance Resources site

"Line dancing" is a great way to work on body and foot technique. I still hear how many people can't stand line dancing and I think it is because they haven't tried it recently. No longer is it just to country music, line dancing is to every kind of music from swing to top 40 pop. Its fun and it teaches us coordination. This is how some dancers learn to syncopate for west coast swing or cha, its a chance to work on feet instead of lead and follow. Its great exercise and challenging to say the least. Line has come a long way in the past 10 years or so. It may not be the greatest thing to sit and watch but it sure is fun to participate. Give it a try, work on foot positions, foot placements, arm styling, Cuban motion etc and you will find it improves your couples dancing as well.
