Ottawa Line Dancing with Sylvie - Friendly line dancing classes for adults 50+, offered at the Carleton Heights Community Centre (Level 1 and Level 2) and the Diane Dean/Greenboro Community Centre(starting September). No partner needed. Line dancing is an easy, enjoyable way to stay active while improving balance, coordination, focus, and memory — all to great music. The steps are simple, the pace is relaxed, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Let's Dance!
I definitely challenged my Level 2 class today with four new dances, including my new Spin Around Waltz — and they danced it so well. I honestly wish I had a video of them doing it, because the flow and confidence were beautiful to watch.
It was a lot of fun exploring these new dances together, and the group learned everything with focus, energy, and great teamwork. A solid hour of dancing and a really rewarding class.
This is what we did:
Today was a solid learning day for my Level One class. We covered a lot of new material: dealing with holds, introducing the step‑lock‑step combination, cross rock, the turning K‑step, the Charleston, and the rumba box. That’s a big list for beginners, and it was really nice to see how well everyone handled each new element.
The progress — and especially the confidence — is really starting to show in your dancing. You’re moving with intention, picking things up faster, and trusting your bodies more each week.
Well done, everyone!

I’ve just finished a brand‑new improver line dance called High Valley Fools, set to Fools by High Valley, an energetic Canadian country band whose music always makes me smile. This one has a fun bounce, wizard steps, heel‑ball‑cross patterns, and a couple of easy turns that fit the rhythm perfectly.

I was so excited to pick up my new cowboy boots in Montreal yesterday. Here I am with the owner Johnny of Go West — such a great experience and a beautiful pair of boots.
