Stay in the middle so that as the dance progresses there will always be someone in front of you that you can watch. The idea here is not to try to “hide in the back!” If you’re in the back row, as the dance progresses you will then find yourself in the front! Everyone will be looking at you, and you won’t be able to watch anybody. When the sequence of steps in the dance end, it is designed to have you facing either the next wall to your right to start over or even the “back” wall to start again. Stand in the middle! One thing about a typical line dance is that it has “walls.” As it progresses, it turns. But the at-home practice gave me a clue what was happening and the leg-up I needed.Ģ. I’ve even thought I had it down at home, only to still feel a little lost during the lesson. Even if you don’t totally get it down at home it will help. See if the bar has a schedule of what lessons will be taught and look it up to see if there’s a YouTube video of that dance. But use YouTube to get ready before you even go.

Watch YouTube! I know I already mentioned this. It takes a little while to get used to memorizing choreography and developing muscle memory for all the steps and at the speed of the dance.ġ. If you are a beginner it can be more challenging than you thought.

Here are some tips for taking free group lessons, whether it be in your local country bar or a community center where there are lessons. The first time I ever tried to learn a line dance I walked off the floor about 1/2 way through the lesson! The next time I made it about 3/4 through, and then the third try I did it! I just had to keep coming. The key is to be patient and not give up. That first night on the floor during your first lesson, you may feel a little overwhelmed. TIP: When first learning and taking a class it is tempting to hide in the last row! But as you may have already guessed, that’s a bad idea! As soon as the dance has moved on to the back wall, if you were in the back, you are now in the front! You can’t see anyone and everyone is looking at you! So, find a good spot somewhere in the middle and you’ll be able to always watch someone who knows what they are doing!

As the dance progresses you will keep finishing and starting again facing a new wall.

Then, with a four-wall line dance (the most difficult), at the end of the steps, everyone has turned 90º and “begins the dance” again facing one of the “side” walls. A two-wall line dance is when at the end of each sequence of steps everyone has turned 180º and you begin again facing the back - for these dances, you will always just face the “front” and “back” walls. A one-wall dance means everyone will face in the same direction when all steps are performed. Next (and the other major thing), line dances are known for having one, two or four walls. Here’s a little more information about line dancing if you’re new to all this and a little confused about what is happening out there on the floor–I know I was!Ī couple of things to know about if you’re new! Line dances are typically 16, 32, 40 or 48 steps (based on the level of difficulty) You may have noticed these numbers are all divisible by 8! Most popular music has a 4/4 time signature, but dancers count beats in sets of 8, hence line dance choreography is grouped and taught in sets of 8 or with “8-count.”
