Level 1 (Basic Beginner): Absolutely no previous dance experience is required. Basic line dance steps are taught and are choreographed to different music moderately paced to a strong 4/4 or 3/4 beat. Rhythms included are: cha-cha, waltz and two-step. Some of the dances in the hour include a one wall change implemented by either a 1/4 or 1/2 turn and are comprised of 32 counts. Also, basic line dance terminology and etiquette is taught.

Level 2 (Upper Beginner): Choreography is suitable for dancers who have completed Level 1 or have had some previous line dance experience. Routines will include additional rhythms such as night club two-step, mambo, tango and fox-trot.  The musical tempo will range from slow to moderate. Generally, the dances will include 32 to 48 counts, will incorporate more styling principles and use one or more turns.

Instructor Bio:  Gloria Andersen, mother and grandmother, retired to the Northwoods of Upper Michigan from a retail banking career in 2003. For her love of dance, she continues to attend a variety of dance classes in the Phoenix, Arizona and has participated in several national workshops where she won 2^nd place in a choreography competition in 2016.

Gloria volunteers her time to teach line dance classes at LOLA Arts for beginning to advanced students. She has also taught line dance classes for PORA (Property Owners Resident Association) in Sun City West, Arizona and basic line dance to children during the Sun City West ‘Happy Camp’.  Her hope is to share her passion for dance with students of all ages and skill levels.
