I have been dancing for about 7 years. When I started dancing it was a real struggle to get my feet to go where my brain told them to go. The instructor couldn't understand why I didn't quit. Well, I persevered, and after many, many hours of practice it's becoming much easier. Because I struggled so much in the beginning I know just how difficult it is for some people to learn to dance. People told me I'd be a great candidate for teaching lessons, so I gave it a try, and it's been so much fun! My students say I have a lot of patience with beginning dancers, and I provide enough instruction in a variety of ways to make them feel successful. I also teach intermediate line dances, so we have a wide variety of dancers coming to the lessons.

Randy will be teaching a line dance class this year, February 12, 2010, at the Sweetheart Jamboree in Seattle. http://home.comcast.net/~goatpack This is quite an honor to instruct at a nationally known dance workshop.


I have danced much of my life, but only a few years ago did I really get the opportunity to learn couples dancing along with relearning line dancing. I LOVE IT!  Now I not only attend dances and workshops, but I also assist Randy with teaching lessons and DJ'ing dances. I put together the playlists for our dances and design our websites and fliers. I do most of the "behind the scenes" work for our dances, while Randy is the "front man." We make a pretty good combination. 

We attend workshops and private lessons when we can to learn the newest dance techniques and new dances from some of the world's greatest dancers, such as:  Barry & Dari Anne Amato, Tom Selzer, Char Alexander & Alan Provencher, Chris & Becky Haynam, Aaron & Tiffany Lorenzen and Jo Thompson. In February we attended the Sweetheart Jamboree in Seattle where we had a private lesson with Keith Armbruster, Country Dance World Champion. In April we attended the Colorado Country Classic in Denver. July was the Portland Dance Festival. Finally, we will be attending the Southbay Dance Fling in San Jose the first week of September.
