The dances have all be choreographed to a certain piece of music (see CopperKnob website) they give the step sheet and an instructional video of the dance. If you go to the line dance classes here our own dance instructors call the dance steps, have the correct music, and that is basically what it's all about. It really is great fun.

For anyone interested, I would suggest you go to a real beginner class, Jean and the twins have beginner classes, the Twins teach on Mondays at Colony and Jean teaches on Thursday at Laurel Manor, times are in the weekly Rec News insert in the newspaper. I think the biggest mistake you could make is to dive straight into an advanced class because you will not be able to understand what is going on and you'll probably never go back. If your other half no longer dances and you still want to move to music, this is a great way to do it, plus the added bonus is meeting people just like you.
