New Wellness Line Dance classes – “virtually” online – begin January 20th. Classes will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30-1:30 p.m. through Dallas College – Continuing Education (Richland Campus). NOTE: This is a Wellness Line Dance class for regular exercise, rather than a line dance class for learning the latest and newest line dances. We have a dance list of 15-20 dances that we will learn step by step, adding one or two new dances each week. We will start from absolute beginner to improver / intermediate dance lessons, dancing the ones we have learned each time until we have learned all of them for a 60+ minute line dance workout. https://ceschedule.dcccd.edu/SPRING/RLC/Prefix/DANZ
