We had SO much fun the first month that we decided to bring line dancing back for ROUND TWO!

And because we had 74 dancers shuffling, turning, rock stepping, and jazz boxing across the dance floor… we had to find a BIGGER space!

So grab your friends, coworkers, neighbors — or just your courage — and join us every Thursday in June from 6:00 PM–8:00 PM at the Morrow County Fairgrounds Youth Building, located at 195 South Main Street, Mount Gilead, 43338!

Whether you are a seasoned dancer or someone who thinks a “grapevine” is where grapes grow… YOU are welcome here!

Jillian will teach a new dance each week and review favorites from previous classes! And if there is a dance you would love to learn, just say the word! We love to learn from you too!

No pressure. No experience required.
We are just here to have FUN!

Come for the dancing…
Stay because you accidentally learned the “Cupid Shuffle.”

Boot? Optional.
Good time? Guaranteed!

Who knew the library would be bringing the boot scootin' energy?
From bookshelves to dance steps...our line dancing class is proof that libraries are about so much more than just reading!

Laughter, music, new friends, and a whole lot of "wait...what foot?" moments filled the annex room last night! 15 dancers took on new steps as Jillian taught us "Crank It Up" by C**t Ford and reviewed "Fireball" by Pitbull, "Flex" by Cupid, and "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earle.

During introductions we found out that we had some very special guests in the class! 3 other instructors from other classes joined us for Week 3 and one of them even stepped up to teach us "K is for Kicks" to "Feel it Still" by Portugal The Man and "Choosin' Texas" by Ella Langley!

Thank you so very much Jim, Diane, and Monique for sharing your love of line dancing with us!

Whether you came to learn, laugh, or just survive the turns without crashing into someone...we are so grateful you joined us!

Week 4 will be the last class of the month and it will be a review of the above dances, maybe take on some new ones, and then brainstorm about what we would like to learn during the month of June!

That's right! We will continue the line dancing classes for another month! And if we keep growing...we may potentially be changing venues so there is more space to move!

Hope to see you there!

Week 2 was another fantastic success!
The positivity and energy of this group is unmatched!

20 dancers learned "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earle and reviewed "Fireball" by PIt Bull and "Flex" by Cupid.
We even dabble a little trying "I Got Better" by Morgan Wallen.
For Week 3 we will be taking on the T**h Push to "I'm From the Country" by Tracy Bryd and giving some others a try!

We are beyond blessed to have so many amazing dancers come back and to welcome some new faces!
We are truly thankful for everyone being so encouraging, forgiving, and supportive of each other!
But we are most grateful for the opportunity to meet new friends, try new experiences, and share the love of dance with our patrons!

A little note from our instructor Jillian...
Thank you to everyone from allowing me to share my love of dance. I am hoping that line dancing starts really taking off in Morrow County and more people join in the fun! I really appreciated everyone being patient and kind with the counts, music, and little hiccups every now and then! I am having the best time teaching but also learning from you! Hope to see you all for weeks 3 and 4! And if you are all interested...we may just continue through the summer and move to a bigger space! Thanks again...Jillian
