Welcome & FAQs
Hello, and Welcome to Line Dancing with Lauren! We are so happy that you are here. Here is a list of FAQs about Line Dancing, and our classes:
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 at pubs/bars, festivals, and private events, including birthday parties, anniversaries, wedding receptions and fundraisers.
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, which is the written format used by choreographers to document their work. Most people learn line dances at bars, classes, or parties. Music has a powerful impact on memory, so once you’ve learned a line dance, hearing the song will trigger your memory of the steps and your feet will start moving!
Q. About the music… is it always country music?
A. It is NOT always country music! 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! Most people have 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. And even if you can’t remember doing a single choreographed movement in your life, you can learn to line dance, and we will help you!
Q. How much do classes cost?
A. A six-week session of beginner classes (recommended, for scaffolding learning and best value) runs $109 to $130 (depending on the location where you sign up), which breaks down to about $18-$22 per class.
Q. What if I have to miss a pre-paid class?
A. You’ll still have access to Lauren’s Google drive, which contains links to practice videos of the dances taught in class.
Q. When and where are classes offered?
A. We offer beginner and intermediate classes in two locations at this time (and we are planning to add more):
- The Issaquah Community Center in Issaquah, WA
- The Studio in Issaquah, also in Issaquah, WA
