For everyone who has been asking about the Sway'D boots and would like to try them on and purchase them locally. Contact Annmarie by email at Dance@TheMagicMarkers.com

I'm adding a link here for Dance Sliders for those who have asked.  You'll buy them from the seller thru eBay.  The cost is $15.00 plus shipping.  Make sure you check and order the right size for your shoes as well as whether you want the heal covered or not. They don't fall off like some of the other dance socks. These are great if you want to wear something other than dance shoes or you dance somewhere where the floor is not ideal. I recently went to a dance with a sticky (dirty) floor and was able to dance easily. I just slipped them on over my dance shoes and washed them in the washing machine later. eBay Link for Dance Sliders You'll love them!! I have several pair so I can always have a clean pair. Important: Take care of them the way she tells you and they will last much longer. (personal experience) 

I'm also adding a link to Dance Socks website. For a different option and they come in different colors too. You can wear your street shoes or tennis shoes and be able to dance easily. Link to website

The classes on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday evenings are progressive classes. On Mondays from 6:00 pm to 6:30 pm (approx) is the EZ beginner part where I teach the same EZ dances each week so you get comfortable with the dances and steps. On Monday (am & pm), Tuesday (pm) & Wednesday (am & pm) the class moves into other beginner dances, improver and up to intermediate dances so there is something for everyone. As you get more comfortable with steps/dances you can dance longer & learn more dances. 

If you're interested in another Couples Pattern Partner class in the future contact me by email at ILoveMyWork@comcast.net with your contact information. If you're a man without a partner, finding you a partner won't be a problem. If you are a woman without a partner you can still take the class. Lots of partner dances can be learned without a partner. (The last 8-week session we usually had more men than women). 

The new playlist will be posted before the next dance. I'll also play as many requests as I can fit in.

All classes are $7 per person per class. (except Birmingham Next and Costick Activities Center) See Class Locations page for more information. 

We have our social dance at the Round Up in Waterford, 5050 Dixie Hwy. (see Current Locations page for a map). Time is Noon to 4:00 pm on the 2nd Saturday each month in 2016. Cost... Only $10.  The playlist will be available before each dance which I'll add to the website for you to print (Click on playlist above). Come and join the fun with Another Chance to Dance.

Dances are usually held on the 2nd Saturday every month (usually) please check the website in case the date changes.  Print out playlist above. Our Next dance: August 10, 2019

 The Round Up, 5050 Dixie Hwy in Waterford. It's in the K-Mart plaza on the east side of the street north of Williams Lake and south of Andersonville Rd. We really like it there it's very nice. Wood Floor! (and they've already expanded it) There will be water, sodas, hot dogs & snacks for sale (now reduced prices). There is no alcohol allowed. (If there are snacks you'd like let me know and I'll see about having them carry them for us.) Please, give them your support, we love a good place to dance and want to see them continue in business.  

I've added a link to a Free Office program on the first Step Sheets page (A-E). If you can't open the documents on this website because you don't have an Office program this is a free alternative for you.  Download the program to a place on your computer you'll remember (examples: Downloads folder, Programs or your Desktop) then open it so you can install it. It will tell you what to do. 

Just a reminder as businesses sometimes close down ( burn down) or discontinue classes....  if you don't support the things you like, they will be gone. If you take a dance class, even if it's not one of mine, go as regular as you can and support the business where you dance because it could be gone tomorrow. 

Line Dance Lessons, Southeast Michigan

Whether you are looking for a beginner class, Intermediate plus or anything in between, we have a class for you. We cover a wide area in Southeast Michigan and hold line dance classes throughout the year. At this time we have several line dance classes per week located in Waterford, South Lyon, West Bloomfield, Grand Blanc and Whitmore Lake. (See current locations maps) At this time there isn't a Couples Pattern Partner class.

The dances taught are old & new dances that are danced in class, in bars, at local area dances and at workshops using all genre's of music. You'll find nice and helpful people in every class.  Come and join us for lots of line dancing fun.

You'll also find (on this site) the current and older schedules, step sheets, video links, local area dances, workshops (info & registrations) and more.  Feel free to look around and email us if you have any questions. This website is a continued work in progress so come back often to see what's new. 

In an earlier issue of the NTA newsletter, the following was shared and I feel it is worth sharing with all of you. Great information to keep in mind.

1.Increased muscle strength & endurance.

2.Increased energy.

3.The release of endorphins that give us a better outlook & make us "feel Better" with a decrease in anxiety & depression type symptoms.

4.Chiropractic professionals encourage low-impact exercise as a necessity for keeping your spine healthy.

5.Movement lubricates the joints so that they move more freely.

6.The motion of the joints improves flexibility reducing the chance for injury.

7.Increased muscle strength leads to better posture and increased range of motion.

8.Can reduce the chances of having a heart attack, stroke, diabetes, & even some types of cancer.
