I was looking around last night and without knowing it, my dancers taught me a great lesson. That is that there’s a big difference between what people THINK they need to line dance and what they really do need. Here’s what I learned…
What most people THINK they need:
- Boots or good dance shoes
- A good dance floor
- Rythym
- Coordination
- A good memory
Last night my dancers reminded me that, in reality, what we need is:
- A good sense of humor (and the ability to laugh at ourselves)
- Good friends
- Good music
- A willingness to help and be helped
- A great attitude
That’s it! The rest can be taught. Just don’t take yourself too seriously and have a smile on your face even when you screw up (and believe me, we ALL screw up – you guys know I do!!) and you’ll do great! Thanks to all my dancers for reminding me of this great lesson!

With the addition of our new wood floor this week, I thought it’d be a good reminder of what we REALLY need to line dance… read this blog from last year inspired by my amazing dancers!
