Welcome & FAQs

Q. What is Line Dancing?

A. Line Dancing is a sequence of dance steps, typically 32 counts, repeated numerous times for the entire length of a song. Line Dancing is a popular social activity all over the world, and is often seen in public houses/bars, and at private celebrations, including wedding receptions.

Q. How do people know the dance steps that go with a particular song?

A. Line dances are learned in a variety of ways: in a dance class, at a pub or a private party, from a video, or by reading a stepsheet - the written format which choreographers use to document their work. Most people learn line dances at classes, bars, or parties. Music has a powerful impact on memory, so once you’ve learned a line dance, your memory is triggered by hearing the song associated with that line dance.

Q. About the music… is it always country music?

A. Actually, no! The music can be pop, rock, punk, hip-hop, R&B, oldies, show tunes, or it can be traditional country music… or NON-traditional country music, such as country-rap or “hick-hop.” There’s a lot of variety in the music used for line dancing!

Q. What if I have two left feet? What if I have never taken a dance class?

A. That’s okay, because believe it or not, practically everyone has had experience with choreographed movement and muscle memory in some way, at some point. That martial arts class you took as a child? The way you tap out the rhythm of your favorite song while you’re driving? Physical therapy? All of these activities reinforce the connection between your mind and your body. Learning to line dance builds on that connection. You can do this!

Q. How much do classes cost?

A. A six-week session of classes (recommended, for progressive learning and best value) is $99, which breaks down to $16.50 per class. If you prefer to purchase one class at a time, you may use the drop-in option of $20 per class. Be sure to arrive 15 minutes early if you plan to use the drop-in option, and text us in advance if you can, so that we know to expect you.

Q. If I miss a pre-paid class, can I take a make-up class?

A. Yes! You may make up a class by attending attend any beginner or intermediate class in RSM or Ladera Ranch before the end of the six-week session in which you missed a class. You may attend a make-up class before the missed class if you know you will have to miss a class, as long as the make-up class occurs within the same six-week session as the missed class. Please note that there is no way to make up the final class of the session after the session has ended. Feel free to text us at (949) 236-7773 if you have any questions about the make-up policy. Even if you don’t attend a make-up class, you will still have access to my Google Drive where I share links to YouTube videos of the dances that were taught in each class.

Q. When and where are classes offered?

A. Classes are offered in Ladera Ranch and Rancho Santa Margarita, on a variety of days and evenings. Click CLASSES to see a description of all of the classes that we offer.
