Heart & Soul Line Dance
Our July 2, Red, White, & Blue Soul
Line Dance Explosion was a success. Our
crowd was smaller this year, but we had fun
dancing to many of our classic dances. We
had four of our Heart and Soul Line Dance
instructors and even a few of our resident
dancers helping with quick review of the
dances. These events are only successful
with the help of many. "Thank you" to all
who pitched in to help.
Here are a few fun facts about line
dancing:
Teach you to dance:. If you can't dance by yourself, how can you
possibly expect to dance with a partner? Line dancing teaches you to
actually move your body.
Improve your balance. Teaches you how to maintain your own
balance while moving to the beat.
Help you find the beat. Staying on beat (on time) is critical in any
dance whether by yourself or with someone else. Learning to find the
beat and timing of any dance is critical before getting with a partner.
Teach you basic footwork. Learn how to do triple steps, turns and
spins, rocking steps and many other steps that you will use in every
form of dance.
Improve your confidence. Helps
overcome feeling of having "two left feet;"
offers sense of pride and accomplishment
and improves your coordination.
Provide you with a dance outlet whether
you have a partner or not. Today, it seems
there is a line dance for just about any song
you can think of. If not, many line dances
are timed so that they can fit multiple songs
providing you many dance opportunities.
Provide you a way to practice. You
always hear that practice is necessary to improving your dance, but
you may not know exactly how to, or what to, practice. Line dances
are a perfect structured means to practice dance technique.
Heart and Soul Line Dance meets in The Lodge Ballroom,
Wednesdays, 4 to 6 pm. We start with the easier (beginner level)
dances for warm up, and as we move through the class, dances will
become more challenging. Please arrive on time, wear comfortable
shoes, and bring water.
Any questions, call me at (909) 239-6464. See you on the dance
floor! ~ Priscilla Robles
