***THIS SUNDAY 4/26***
I am SUUUPER excited about this one y’all! Grand premiere happening this Sunday 2-3pm at Queen Bee’s - it’s a PHRASED high improver dance - so it’ll feel like a low intermediate, but if you’re up for the challenge (or just happy to give me the favor of your time) I’d be so grateful to have a filled room learning! Any excess time post-recording can be for 1-wall requests for dances - hard stop at 3pm so I can take a walkthrough video in the space 💛

In my lesson announcement posts, the difficulty scale has a
"Low - True - High" tier for each of the following levels:
Beginner > Improver > Intermediate > Advanced
I.e. High Beginner is easier than a Low Improver

Workshops - learn foundations that help you better understand line dancing and how to improve
Socials - additional music played to practice all your favorite dances

RIP I had to crop out of this promo because time is of the essence and it’s all I have 😩

Let’s be honest, I’m the only name listed, but y’all don’t come for me. You come for this FAMILY! Great vibes and music from Luke, encouragement and banter from Lexie, drink-slingin and sass from Tadas, and safety and floor monitoring from teddy-bears Patrick and Bernard.

And honorary Saloon regulars .pratt and SO MANY MORE! Come out this Sunday to be added to our ongoing list of APPRECIATED DANCERS/HUMANS!

Because you don’t have to dance in order to drink and support our venue 😎

Mark your calendars - See y’all Sunday!!
