Why Line Dance? Research reveals that the best exercise results may be obtained by combining music, learning, socializing, balance and coordination at varying intensity burst intervals. All these factors can be found on the line dance floor. Build a better brain, increase your balance and fitness, have fun all with one activity.
Sign-ups for Level 1/Beginner, Level 2/Easy Intermediate and Level 3/Intermediate. Line Dance classes for the summer season are well underway. The nine lessons in Level 1 teach you some basics of line dancing in a fun and safe environment. Rebecca teaches with humor, repetition and joy. You will learn new skills with each fun dance. Dances vary in each series. You’ll start on your dancing journey and then continue to build stamina, foot speed, balance and step confidence. With new movements and combinations to learn you will master a few at a time, usually just a couple with each dance. Some line dance steps are quite difficult so those come later in upper skill level lessons. Monday mid-day Beginner/Level 1 classes are in HOA 2 or alternately Wednesday afternoon at SaddleBrooke Ranch.
Easy Intermediate/Level 2 and Intermediate/Level 3 classes are terrific for the more experienced dancer. A mix of cardio and more complex dances is great fun for all. Level 2 works especially on skills and steps up the pace. Level 3 sessions are for dancers after even more complexity, skills and extra stamina. Easy Intermediate Level 2 classes are available Monday afternoon, Tuesday morning and at the Ranch on Wednesday afternoon. Intermediate is Thursday afternoon at HOA 2.
Student party speed/practice sessions are Thursday (Beginner) and Saturday (Level 1 and 2) afternoons in the MountainView aerobics room. A great cardio and muscle memory session is the goal of practices with an hour of quickly moving from dance to dance. Come prepared to laugh, move, learn, perspire and expand your brain and memory. Level 1 dancers have their party speed sessions on Thursdays.
If you have tried some dancing and stopped for any non-physical reason, try it again. The only way not to have fun in line dance is to give up on it before the joy arrives. Rebecca has one abiding purpose in teaching, she just loves to see the joy and sense of accomplishment on the faces of her students when they succeed and have fun.
Classes are always affordable; the cost is less than $5 per full hour of dance and always start promptly and last the full allotted time. Reservations are required and the A/C is on for indoor summer fun.
Rebecca is a full-time, 12 year resident in SaddleBrooke. She has trained SaddleBrooke and now SaddleBrooke Ranch dancers to have loads of fun on the dance floor for about nine years.
