On-line Dancing Options

Hopefully you've all found ways to get some activity into your lives. In case you're missing your weekly (or more) dose of dancing, here are some options that might interest you.

You could use this blog to access Copperknob and do the teaches and/or demos of any dance we do. Or look up dances directly.

Jo Thompson Symanski has put together 3 workout line dance videos. #1 is for beginners, #2 is also fairly easy and uses praise music, #3 is a 40 minute workout for a bit more experienced dancers. The link to the website is https://www.dancingforthedream.com/.

There is a lot available on Facebook. Here are some links to some on-line class videos:

A lot of professional instructors who normally teach at workshops are now stuck at home, and many of them are holding on-line classes/workshops/etc. Some are free, some you have to register ahead for. A good place to keep up on what's being offered is a daily newsletter that you can either sign up for or look at on the following website: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/world-line-dance-newsletter.

Dancing cancelled until further notice

City recreation centres are now closed until at least the end of June. I don't think anyone knows when this will end. We will email you all when we are ready to start dancing again. Wishing you all good health. Stay safe.

Dancing cancelled for 3 weeks

The City has closed all it's recreation and community centres until at least April 6, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. So there will be no dancing at KBCC until these facilities open again. I hope you all stay safe and healthy.
