Being Texas born & bred, my love of two-stepping fed into a love of line dance. While I have been country dancing for many years, I only took up instructing formally over a year ago. It became apparent if I didn’t, there might not be any more dancers around. My mission is to get anyone interested in line dancing, up and moving to country music!
While I introduce the latest line dances from around the country, I emphasize learning a handful of core dances that can be done to many songs. I don’t want my dancers to have to memorize dozens of dances or wait for a specific song before they can dance. Thus, even if we’re learning an ‘older’ dance, we’re practicing to the latest country music.
I teach each line dance step-by-step, wall-by-wall, and when we’re all pretty confident, put it to music. During practice, we’ll dance to two songs at different tempos with steps called over the music. In the end, if we’re facing the same way, that’s great; if we’re having fun, that’s a real win!
I am currently instructing a weekly improver level class for the Peoria Park District. I also teach a progressive build beginner class for PPD when enrollment requirements are met.
Through my business, RedBear Line Dance, I have instructed weekly/bi weekly at Daddios (Bloomington), OZ’Z (Creve Coeur), and Hanna City Sportsman’s Club [HCSC]. Long term bookings in progress for 2025 include Haven on the Farm and HCSC.
