Mercy Maud, am I behind the times! When I think of "line dancing" I think of country-western sort of stuff.
Which is fine by me, as I'm partial to country music.
Turns out not only are there samba and rumba styles of line dances, there's waltz line dancing!
How in pity's name does one perform a waltz as a line dance?
This first class concentrated on fairly basic steps and dances...one called the "101". One thing I've got to do prior to the next class is get a new pair of shoes; the slip-ons I wore were a hindrance, as I'd keep stepping out of one, causing me to lose my place as I frantically tried to stuff my heel back into it.
There's no denying it IS good exercise!

Another question is WHERE and WHEN and WHY does one perform waltz as a line dance? I can't imagine ever doing it, or wanting to do it, or any context in which it would make sense to do it. It strikes me as though it's very likely something that was concocted just for something to teach in classes.
But that doesn't mean I think you shouldn't have fun doing it! I'm glad you are. :dancingcow: (cow is waltzing)
No, Jane. Waltzes have three steps. This cow is definitely doing a 2 step, and since this is Texas we're talking about, it's even more appropriate!
I was unclear. I was asking her to use her imagination. Of course that only works for people who HAVE imagination. :hmmmmm:
