A few words about Line Dancing:

When I first learnt to Line dance I wasn't sure what to expect,I went on my own not knowing any steps or dances and found there was no need to worry as people were so friendly,and helpful, it didnt matter too much if I got steps wrong as it was all about being fun, looking forward each week to class, and learning more, I experienced that wonderful feeling of dance,
There are so many benefits from Line Dancing. It can help with confidence, flexibility, improving memory and co-ordination. It's also a low impact aerobic exercise and very sociable. You will make lots of friends and no partner required.

Line Dancing is suitable for all age groups and fitness levels.
I took a course with the D&G school of Western Dance USA, where I received thorough training and went on to pass all my exams.
I love line dancing so much that I just simply had to share it.

I believe it should be fun to learn the steps and dances, everyone learns at their own pace, so it's important to make it enjoyable for all,I believe you learn and retain the dance when it's fun to learn! there is no such thing as a mistake in linedancing its called a variation.
As most beginner classes progress they can be overwhelming to a complete beginner so I think it is important to have absolute beginners classes which cover basic foot work and more importantly at a pace new dancers can follow comfortably.
In April of each year a new Absolute beginners class starts at Mytchett its drop in so no need to book.
I have pre booked courses for beginners which is in 3 sessions term time in camberley
See venues page for details.

I believe classes should be friendly and there is always a warm welcome at any Evenlines venue.

I am a qualified D&G Instructor with experience of teaching Beginners and Intermediate dancers.
a member of NTA (USA) National Teacher Association whose terminology for steps and technique is used in most countries .
a member of GPTD UK and hold a current PPL (Music) license.

I hold several classes in Surrey, from a Day Centre for seniors at New Haw, to beginners and intermediates at Woking, Mytchett and Camberley, there is an improvers class daytime at Mytchett, and evening in Camberley,
I teach at Sierra County Weekend Festivals.

D&G School of Western Dance principals Dick & Geneva Matties first brought Line dancing to England in the 80's starting at Holiday camps many of the teachers in the UK started out with them and run their own classes and organisations.
Dick & Geneva hold the British Country Western Dance Championships each year. This year its in my area at Lakeside Complex Frimley Green
