WELCOME!

Welcome to our website! You must be looking for something enjoyable and fun to do in your spare time! You have come to the right place. Line dancing has been around as early as the 1950’s. It really made a hit in the early 1970’s, and has been progressively getting more popular since then. A line dance is a choreographed dance with a repeated sequence of steps in which a group of people dance in one or more lines or rows without regard for the gender of the individuals, all facing the same direction, and executing the steps at the same time. Line dancers are not in physical contact with each other.

Originally, line dancing was done to only country and western music. Over the years, line dancing has progressed and is performed to all different genres of music - contemporary, country, pop, rock, hip hop, rap, latin, and sometimes even jazzed-up opera. Dances are performed to different rhythms - cha cha, rhumba, waltz, night club two-steps, mambo, east and west coast swing, etc.

It is an activity that you can participate in without requiring a partner, but it would be great if you could bring a partner with you (husband, significant other, friend). Our current classes are comprised of adults, ranging in age from 40 - 76. We would like to be able to expand our membership to all ages - teens as well as adults.

Choreographers all over the world have created dances for our enjoyment and pleasure! Often, line dancers travel all over the world to attend dance workshops - dance instruction every hour with an international instructor. And there are lots of local workshops for the beginner and advanced dancers to attend as well.

Join our classes for a lot of laughs, fun, and although having fun, a good physical and mental workout as well. To be able to remember the steps to a particular dance when the instructor calls out the name of the dance is a good indication that your mind has been working hard to keep Alzheimer's disease at bay. We hope you enjoy yourself as you browse through our pages.

 Are you a line dance maniac?

Line dancing is like a drug.  Dancing creates a natural high that offers emotional and physical comfort.  It can help you find love, fun and excitement.  But, most important, it provides a means to escape from reality.  So what's with that?  I can't stop!  And what does that make me?  A line dance addict.  There is no hope for me, but maybe I can save you.  First, you have to recognize the symptoms.  Physical symptoms may vary depending on length and extent of abuse.

1.  Do you feel the need to line dance repeatedly?  Have your evenings out increased from once a week to three or more nights out of the house?  Are you drawn to long weekends of locking yourself away with nothing but line dancing, eating and drinking?  Do you drive for hours, maybe days, to get your "fix" of dance workshops with your favourite instructor?

2.  Do you continue to dance even though you have suffered serious physical problems due to dancing?  Back pain, torn ligamennts, joint pain and pulled muscles.  Are you limping to your line dance class and taking ime off from your day job to recuperate  that you can dance again the next night?  Are you using Bngay, an anti-inflammatory, aspirin, muscle relaxants, hot wate botle and ice packs more and more frequently?

3.  Are you staying up later and later, past your normal bedtime?  Do you use caffeine (coffee/tea) to keep yourself going?  Are you avoiding your daily chores so that you have enough energy at night to dance?  Are you drifting from reality and the only way people can get your attention is to call out "5-6-7-8"?

If so, you are addicted!!!  More symptoms at a later date.
