Line Dance with Rebecca Level 1 dancers are getting accustomed to new time and place this winter. This happy group is really enjoying seeing themselves in the mirror but they greatly miss the Mt. Lemon view. The best news–no more cancellations for banquet/election conflicts.

All three of Rebecca’s dancing Levels began the winter season a couple weeks ago. If you have never line danced with Rebecca, fun, laughter and fitness are all prime ingredients in her classes.
Health and fitness wise: two keys to lifelong fun are participation and learning. Find something that challenges your brain and that is enough fun to participate in forever. With music, exercise and too many dance options to ever learn, line dance is one of your best options. So you never get bored there are over 75,000 published dances in the line dance world—this is a long term fitness and learning opportunity. That’s why line dance is continuing as the number three fitness activity for seniors worldwide. So as one student reported, her Christmas present (a FitBit) recorded 6400 steps performed in the first 90 minute Level 2 class. That’s 65% of the daily recommended steps in just a short bit of fun!
Rebecca will have new spring series starting in April for Level 1 Beginners, Level 2 Advanced Beginner/Easy Intermediates and Level 3 Intermediates. No matter your experience level, contact Rebecca to determine the very best place for you to begin your lessons. Classes are taught on a reservation basis. Folks are already reserved into 2018, so to guarantee a spot your best bet is to contact Rebecca now.
Level 1/Beginner is the easiest learning pace and builds knowledge, fitness and endurance as you begin to dance – and it’s fun (Monday and Wednesday afternoon Ranch sessions). Level 2 Advanced Beginner/Easy Intermediate dances are a bit more complex and the teaching pace is faster (Monday afternoon, Tuesday morning, Wednesday Ranch afternoon sessions). Level 3 Intermediate dancing is the most vigorous physically, and memory challenging dances are performed (Thursday afternoon sessions).
Student practice sessions covering all three skill levels are continuous year round and function to enhance skills, memory and fitness. Low impact line dancing has been proven to ease the obstacles of aging if done weekly—note: 6000 steps per day are now recommended for knee arthritis prevention. Move it or lose it is true—and proven with research. Everything improves with some aerobic exercise in your life. Brain, body and mood improvements are all well documented, no matter your choice of exercise.
Line Dancing with Rebecca follows sound educational principals and emphasizes lots of fun.
