LINE DANCE

I teach line dance lessons and DJ line dance requests every Tuesday 6:30-9 (except the 2nd Tuesday of the month) at Topa Topa Brewery, 104 E. Thompson Blvd, Ventura, Calif.

Beginner & improver lessons at 7 & 8; dance requests all night

I also love teaching / hosting private events. Learn more below!


Line dance is a beautifully accessible, fun and low-pressure form of movement. My Tuesdays at Topa Topa foster an inclusivity that encourages participants and community members to express themselves through line dancing, regardless of prior experience. As a queer person, I am dedicated to celebrating the long legacy of queer people in Western culture by creating dances spaces where all are welcome.

Line dance choreography is a language. Understanding the terminology of basic steps can be a huge help for beginners. Get in touch for step sheets and video tutorials for the dances I teach. 

New England Line Dance has a great video resource for anyone starting their line dancing journey. I also recommend video tutorials by Dirt Road Dancing and local southern CA legend, Candy Sherwin.

PRIVATE EVENTS & LESSONS

I love bringing people together to move in unison while forging community and having a blast on the dance floor! Line dancing is a great way to celebrate any occasion - I have hosted and taught line dancing at birthday parties, weddings, pride and workplace events, and at educational conferences. I also love offering private lessons for smaller groups if learning in larger settings is not for you. Line dance is truly such a special way to gather community in a joyous, lighthearted and low-pressure movement environment and I love sharing this ethos with both students and clients. Read more about why line dancing is important to me here - for me, it’s about connecting us to our bodies via rebuilding the ancient connection to herd animals and the way they move across the land.

While I live in the Ventura / Los Angeles area, I love traveling for private events. Get in touch with inquiries or fill out the form below.
