Line Dancing
A line dance is a choreographed dance in which a group of people dance along to a repeating sequence of steps while arranged in one or more lines or rows. These lines usually face all in the same direction, or less commonly face each other. Unlike circle dancing, line dancers are not in physical contact with each other. Each dance is usually associated with, and named for, a specific song, such as Footloose or the Electric Slide.
Our line dance classes are popular and fill up fast for a reason! You'll learn a handful of line dances to new and classic country, rock, and pop songs, and every dance is broken down into easy-to-follow steps. These are great classes to join with friends, as a date night or girls' night out.
See a beginner demo HERE and a level 2 demo HERE.

ABSOLUTE BEGINNER:
Line dancers of all skill levels will enjoy this class, but we cater to the absolute beginner.
BEGINNER LEVEL 2:
If you have previous line dance experience, have mastered the beginner class, or you’re ready for a new challenge, level 2 is perfect. You’ll learn faster turns, longer dances, and trickier combinations than in level one.
INTERMEDIATE:
You'll love this class if you have previous line dance experience and are comfortable with turns, quick transitions, and longer sequences!

Country Western
While western swing music tracks back to the 1930's or 1940's the dance style of Country Swing as we see it today look a lot like the hustle of the 1970's. It's a simple, high energy dance style that doesn't require a lot of dance floor an is perfect for crowded country bars and dance halls.
We’re addicted to this popular dance style, incorporating our favourite things - energetic moves, spins, and country music! Beginner and intermediate students, as well as couples and singles, are welcome.
See a sample from our country swing group class HERE.
The Country Two-Step, often called the Texas two-step or simply the two-step, is a country/western dance usually danced to country music. The Texas Two Step actually includes three steps – a quick step, a quick step, and then a slow step.
Come try it out! Couples and singles are welcome.
See us dancing a fun beginner two-step sequence HERE.

East Coast Swing
East Coast Swing (also known as Swing) is a lively, rhythmic social dance that originated in the United States in the 1940s. It's a member of the swing dance family and is often danced to big band, rock and roll, and other fast music. East Coast Swing evolved from the Lindy Hop, a popular dance in the 1920s and 1930s.
Learn a fun beginner swing routine to dance at weddings and parties and on cruises. Students will leave knowing a series of steps, how to lead/follow a partner, and how to dance to classic and modern swing music.
Singles and couples are welcome in all of our classes.
