Invite your friends who have always wanted to learn line dancing and the experienced dancer who wants to try something new.  The cost is only $10.00 - ($12.00 for non residents) and that includes lunch, this is such a great way to try out our classes. All levels are welcome and there will be something for everone. There will be lessons for all levels and open dancing too. You must register for this event at the Costick Center.

I have ordered from the Sway'D website (below) several times and

had no problem with any of the orders. For sizing check their

size chart, it's very accurate.

They have sales often! Check back for your size & color. 

The website says your size may be back-ordered 4-6 weeks but I have ordered several times and they always arrive in 4-5 days.

Another Chance to Dance!!

 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, advanced, or anything in between, I have a class for you. I cover a wide area in Southeast Michigan and hold line dance classes throughout the year. At this time I have several line dance classes per week located in Waterford, Birmingham, and 4 classes in Farmington Hills. (See current locations maps) 

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

Feel free to look around and email me 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.
