Recently I was honored to be invited to teach for a line dance workshop at the Thirsty Cowboy in Medina on March 2, 2022. They also asked another instructor named Rob Holley, so after I confirmed what songs he was using to teach, I started my quest to find...Read More »


Line Dance Footwear

When it comes to line dancing, choice of footwear is important for comfort and safety. This month I will reveal the various shoes, boots, and accessories that I wear and have seen my students use. I am, by no means, recommending any particular brand; the decision is a personal matter...Read More »


My Three Agents

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the article I wrote for December will be posted here in February. In my November article, I wrote about my first dance teacher, who helped me to become the instructor I am today. Over the years, there have been several people who have acted as my...Read More »


How It All Started

Audrey (L), and Dori (R) in the spring of 1978 after a performance at Buhl Park in Sharon/Hermitage, PA.

Onstage Again

For this month’s article, I will share with you a different passion of mine – performing in an area community theater production.

As I promised in my January article, I would keep you posted on what SCOPE decided to do about my line dance class at their center in Cortland. Unfortunately, that location remains closed for socialization; however, I’m happy to report that my line dance classes have continued there under...Read More »


Grateful for the memories

For my first article of 2021, I was finding it difficult to pick a topic based on country line dancing, since there’s currently no places open to dance near me. I haven’t been out dancing for months and usually draw my inspiration from first-hand experiences. Even my classes at...Read More »


Review, and review again

As I’ve stated in previous articles, since I haven’t taught any lessons during the last eight months, I’ve tried to keep my line dance brain active with online classes and occasionally dancing at local venues. I must admit that I haven’t succeeded with remembering very many dances and need to...Read More »
