Ottawa Line Dancing with Sylvie Beginner-friendly line dancing classes for adults 45+, offered at the Carleton Heights Community Centre (Level 1 and Level 2), the Rideau Park United Church, and shared teaching at the Richmond Public School. No partner needed. Line dancing is an easy, enjoyable way to stay active while improving balance, coordination, focus, memory, and concentration — all to great music. The steps are simple, the pace is relaxed, and the atmosphere is welcoming.
We had a lively group today with a few newcomers joining in, which was great to see. We worked on the Charleston step and the scuff, and learned two new dances. Lots of good dancing and a really nice atmosphere all around.
This is what we did:
EZ to Remember Alt Music Tired of Toeing the Line - Rocky Burnette
Mamma Maria Alt music Mustang Sally
Go Cat Go Alt Music Old Time Rock and Roll - Bob Seger
Fun for All Alt music Country Girl slowed to 93%See you next week!
We learned a new dance today — not the one I originally planned, but sometimes the music decides for us. I switched to I Can Dance Dance (to the song Austin by Dasha) because it’s been stuck in my head all week and felt like the right fit for the group. We’ll circle back to the other dance soon, but for now this one deserved its moment.
