Beginner Country Line Dancing

Time & Location
Jun 02, 2026, 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM EDT
The Jenks Center, 109 Skillings Rd, Wi******er, MA 01890

About the Event
Dust off those boots (or sneakers) and join us for a lively night of beginner country line dancing! It’s fun, it’s easy—and yes, it’s great low-impact exercise too. This class requires no experience, no equipment, and no partner—just bring your two left feet and your smile. We’ll start from the very beginning, learning simple, upbeat dances set to (mostly) Country Western music. Come ready to move, laugh, and kick up some fun!

Julie Kaufmann has been teaching line dance since 1990; thousands of people everywhere from First Night Boston to multiple local Senior Centers have enjoyed learning with her. She makes it easy to follow along!

Sponsored by the Cummings Foundation Grant.
