Things You'll Need:
- A place to dance and to practice
- Music of your choice
-
Step 1
Explore your family heritage. Many cultures, from Middle Eastern to Celtic, practice line dancing or adapt the line dance to fit their particular brand of folk music. Connect via local ethnic clubs or public radio programs that feature ethnic music.
-
Step 2
Cowboy or cowgirl up and listen to some country music to get a feel for line dancing. Visit a popular country dance bar or nightclub in your area, or listen to a CD such as "Line Dancing" at Amazon to see if country and western is for you (see Resources below).
-
Step 3
Groove in the streets with urban or pop music. Hip hop lends itself to line dancing because of its solitary "breaks" that feature the individual. Discover hip hop line dance in nightclubs and on television dance shows to see if this is your passion.
-
Step 1
Take advantage of free or inexpensive social line dancing lessons at dance halls or nightclubs. Learn for an hour and then dance all night!
-
Step 2
Sign up for country or hip hop line dancing at a professional dance studio. These will prepare you to socialize and exercise or to excel and compete.
-
Step 3
Sign up for video lessons and learn at home. You can rewind as many times as you need to while practicing a step. Try an instructional DVD such as "Smokin' Line Dances" at Amazon or a more basic program (see Resources below).
