It’s time to put on your favorite boots, practice your loudest “yips” and “yeehaws,” and learn some line dances! We will learn basic moves and terminology in country (and pop!) dancing and then put them to work in choreography. You don’t need any experience to join these classes! All ages, genders, and abilities are welcome – after all, dancing is for everyone. All you need to bring is your willingness to learn, a big smile, and your shining presence!

Class is from 5:30pm-6:30pm and $10/person. Any questions or wish to get on the email list: rfvlinedance@gmail.com
