Country line dancing instructor Sami Mabee has been teaching for the past five years at private events as well as large country music festivals and dance conventions. She always begins her classes with the most challenging dance of the night, not to deter dancers, but to let them know that it gets easier.
“If you can get yourself in the building, you have enough of what it takes to be able to join in on the fun,” Mabee says. “Dancing in general is one of the only things left in this generation where people engage with others outside of their group. As much as you commit to it, you can be included in as many dances as you want.”
