Dear Line Dance Family Friends,

(Long Post Alert: Please read all!)

--WOW and thank you so much! Yesterday's Line Dance Master Class #14 at NYSC/West 80th was a very rewarding experience! We had another 26 happy dancers on the floor! There was a very positive attitude toward and ultimate personal achievement in taking things up a notch in choreography!! We danced until almost 4 PM!! I am so proud of this class! At the end of this email is a list of ALL of the dances that I have shared in these Master Classes including yesterday's teach of my dance, Happy. Watch the videos and practice a bit if you can. It always helps and can never hurt your process!

Sooo....let's do it again! The more you dance the choreography, the more you learn, retain and remember!!! The Next Beginner Line Dance Master Class #15 will be in TWO WEEKS on Sunday, August 6th, from 1-3+ PM! Please mark your calendars and come dance with me!

Please note that the best ways to register and pay for this class is either on the NYSC app or in person at NYSC/West 80th. ALL of the front desk Staff at West 80th have been informed or are in the process of being trained on how to do this for you.
You can always arrive a little early on the day of class and register and pay then. The fee is $20 and is paid directly to NYSC with a credit card (no cash payments).
