Sign up now to reserve your spot on the dance floor. Reservation lists for classes fill fast, so don’t delay yours. Why learn Line Dancing with a professional instructor?-—you get the best. It’s easier, safer and less stressful. At about $4 per hour it’s also economical fun. There is a deeper commitment to your fun and developing expertise when learning with a Pro. Especially if you tried dancing and quit frustrated, try it again; the only ones who fail with Rebecca are the few who quit before developing the first stage skills and fitness. Rebecca has one abiding purpose in teaching line dance—she loves to see the joy and sense of accomplishment on the faces of her students when they succeed.

The next series of classes designed for the Novice begins Monday, April 13 and Wednesday, April 15. The Level 1 Beginner series will run into the summer with 10 lessons. Lessons are on Mondays at the HOA 1 Vermilion Room or Wednesday at SaddleBrooke Ranch. Series packages are prepaid prior to beginning class. Level 1 dancers can move to the quicker Level 2 as they develop stamina, confidence and basic dance moves. Rebecca’s dancers also can move up and down between dance levels as they progress through injuries, aging and other life changes.

May 13, 14 and 15 also see the start of Level 2 (Advanced Beginner/Easy Intermediate) class. You may also wish to reserve your summer and fall space now as classes book far in advance. The coming Level 2 series is also 10 lessons long. These classes will occur on Mondays and Tuesdays in SaddleBrooke and Wednesday at the Ranch.

Level 3 (Intermediate) classes on Thursday afternoons are terrific for the most veteran dancers. A mix of cardio and more complex dances is great fun. Thursday sessions begin April 16. Prior Level 2 lessons are strongly advised for your transition to these lessons unless you have significant dance confidence.

Practice Sessions covering Levels 1, 2 and 3 run continuous year round and assist in putting dances deeper into muscle memory. No one remembers all the dances (Rebecca has taught over 200 in SaddleBrooke), so a brief walk through and consistent dance step calling is provided. The goal is laughter and great cardio workouts for all. Calendars are emailed for the weekly sessions.
