Line dancing is one of the most fun country dances out there because you can do it anywhere and you do not need a partner! Line dancing is exactly what it sounds like: a group dance in which the dancers stand side-by-side in one or more lines as they perform a series of dance moves in unison. No matter what type of music you choose to dance to, line dancing can be a great workout. Depending upon your age and fitness level, you can expect to burn between 300- 800 calories per hour line dancing! Come and learn basic line dances to some “cool” country and non-country songs.
