Local Choreography - Loads of Fun

Line Dances Choreographed by our Local Instructors!

 

    
   We began line dancing attending classes with a local oldies instructor, learning many basic steps and classic line dances, especially those familiar to the old time Philadelphia dance scene.  About a year ago we attended our first country dancing event, and to be honest were somewhat intimidated by both the speed of some of the dances, as well as the types of steps done in many country dances that we were unfamiliar with.

     Since then we've made a point of getting out to as many different venues as possible, meeting and enjoying our time with numerous instructors and dance groups. And we've actually learned some of those steps and dances!

     Several months ago we learned a fun dance at a class, and were pleasantly surprised when someone came over to us and told us the dance had been choreographed by the very instructor who had been teaching that night.  What fun!  We actually knew a choreographer!  Even better, we discovered this wasn't the only one.  Several of our friends had choreographed dances.

     For us, we've come to have a special connection to these dances.  They're like our own little home-grown slice of dancing, a contribution our friends have created and shared with the larger line dancing community.

     So here we are sharing them with you, hoping you'll learn and enjoy them as well, and perhaps do a little research of your own ( It's easy to do on Copperknob ) to find the dances your friends may have created.

    The dances listed below are all fun, and range from fairly easy to far more complex.  In doing this research we've realized we haven't learned them all yet, but we're working on it!  Each has a link to both the step sheet and an instructional video, and lists the music it was originally choreographed to.  Their names are linked to these great folks so you can contact them and let them know if you've learned and enjoyed their line dance. And while you're on CopperKnob please give a rating to those you enjoy.  It's valuable feedback for the choreographer.

     Have fun, and let us know about the dances your friends have created!
