ABOUT ME
My love of line dancing extends to a period of over 30 years.
I began teaching in 1991 in California, where I was born and
raised. As life moved on, and so did we, I also taught classes
in Washington state, Oregon, Colorado, and now Florida. It has
been amazing to see the transformation and evolution of line
dancing. It's not just Country music anymore. We now dance to
ALL types of music!
This photo was taken at the Silverado Dance Hall and Saloon in
Stockton, CA. That was our favorite hang out back in the early 90s,
when line dancing was ALL country and we wore matching outfits.
The Silverado was a real river boat, the kind with the huge paddle
wheel. It was converted into a building on land. Sadly, a few years
ago, it was torn down to make room for a strip mall.
Sometimes we still dress western, but most of the time,
I wear shorts or skorts. This IS Florida, you know.
Yes, I still wear boots, short ones. I know most people
wear dance sneakers or pretty ballroom shoes these days.
They just don't work very well for me.
I also choreograph dances... when the mood strikes me.
I guess I should say... when the song grabs me! I have
quite a few dances out there, but the one that has become
the biggest hit on the charts is "Pontoon".

A BIG thank you to Michael Barr who taught Pontoon at
several workshops! I'm sure he gave me the jump start to
move this dance up the chart. This link is from the Tampa
Bay Classic in November of 2012

I have many dances on YouTube, but there are a lot of them
that are NOT on YouTube, because it didn't exist back then, or it was
before I had a video camera. If you wish, you can subscribe to me on
YouTube and be notified when I submit new videos! The step sheets
for my older dances can be found on Kickit.com, and a few of the newer
ones. I now prefer to use Copperknob.com and Yipee.com (UK).
