What Dancers Say About Line Dancing Hereford

5/5 from 12 Google reviews.

I was on holiday recently in Herefordshire and wanted to find a local line dance class I could attend whilst away! After searching the internet I found this class run by Dev who I learned had been teaching line dancing for over 25 years! Was I glad I found this class. It was everything I hoped it would be. I’ve been line dancing since just before the pandemic and I certainly didn’t feel out of place here.

Dev runs through each dance thoroughly and in turn also makes it easy for beginners. He also runs beginners only sessions just in case anyone was interested in taking up this fun fab way of — Jackie Selby

I'd wanted to try line dancing for years, so at the beginning of 2019 (as a New Year resolution) I gave it a go. I was a bit nervous at first but I needn't have worried, the instructor (Dev) is so easy going that I felt at ease right away. If you think it may be a bit 'Strictly Come Dancing' you are dead wrong, such a relaxed friendly atmosphere you won't find anywhere else! Dev has the patience of a Saint and is fun too, so are the others that go. I was hooked! 12 months on and I am dancing (well trying) every Monday and Thursday. Not only that, I have found a world of Country & Western mu— John Hodgson

Dev is a really good teacher, he is very patient with beginners going over the steps several times with us before the dance begins. He always makes a point of encouraging us when it comes to a more difficult move. I have been going to his class for 4 weeks now and can honestly say I have learnt a lot in a short period of time, thanks to his style as teaching.— Michelle Evans

Back dancing again with Dev after lockdown. Great to be outside enjoying the fresh air, meeting up with friends & most importantly, line dancing, after months of being at home. Really good to be back after all these months, & even remembered all the steps once we got going! Thank you Dev, look forward to lots more dancing.— Jill Grant

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you start ballroom dancing?

The simplest route is a beginners' class where a teacher introduces the hold, footwork and timing gradually. You need no partner or experience to begin, and contacting a local school is the best way to find a suitable starting session.

What ballroom dance to learn first?

The waltz is a common first dance because its steady three-count rhythm is easy to feel, while the social foxtrot is another good beginner choice. A teacher can steer you toward whichever fits the class.

How hard is it to learn salsa?

Salsa is quite beginner-friendly once the basic timing clicks, and most people manage the core steps early on. Regular practice is what turns those steps into confident social dancing.

Can a non-dancer learn salsa?

Yes, salsa classes are built for people with no dance background, teaching the steps slowly from scratch. Many self-declared non-dancers surprise themselves once they start.

What are 5 basic steps in line dancing?

The grapevine, step-touch, kick-ball-change, pivot turn and shuffle are among the most common building blocks. Because these moves recur across so many dances, learning them makes new routines much easier to pick up.

What is the easiest line dance to learn for beginners?

Dances with a short, repeating sequence and no complex turns are the friendliest place to start. An instructor typically begins newcomers on one of these so the pattern quickly becomes familiar.
