Testimonials from Joan's line dancing students:
"Joan says that contemporary line dancing is the most fun you can have without a partner. She’s right. I expected country western music with a lot of basic back and forth stepping. Her classes are anything but that. From waltzes to tangos to hip hop - with some country western, too - the music and choreography are varied and range from soothingly simple to intricate and complicated. Great exercise for mind and body. Joan keeps everyone happy and moving from first timers to dancers who have been with her for years. I highly recommend joining her on the dance floor." -- Bill Saxon "Joan Price is a consummate teacher! She brings dance in a way that allows each person to experience success. Though her large, enthusiastic group ranges from beginner to seasoned dancer, Joan manages to bring something for everyone. Most importantly, she builds a warm, positive social experience in her classes. People get to know and love each other. Newcomers are warmly welcomed and encouraged by the whole group." -- Laurie Tuchel
"I could not get enthusiastic about going to the gym until I found the line dancing class – I’m now dancing three times a week for about two hours each, and I practice at home! Joan is a wonderful teacher. She manages to teach people at all levels of dancing and make sure that each student really “gets it” and has fun. Joan makes it challenging but possible at all levels. It’s the most fun I’ve had dancing in years. It’s also great exercise, both physical and mental. The dancers in Joan's classes are fun and supportive – no judging, always helpful, always enthusiastic. I love dancing to all the different kinds of music. Who knew you could line dance to tango, cha cha, waltz, country, nightclub two-step, and west coast swing? It’s no wonder Joan has students who’ve been dancing with her for many years. I plan to be one of them!" -- Trisha Pedroia Click

Contemporary
Line Dancing isn't just country/western any more! It's modern, urban sophistication,
swing syncopations, flowing waltz and nightclub rhythms, and Latin flavor.
We still dance choreography in lines — but with the look and feel of ensemble
dancing. It's fun, great exercise, and it will free the dancer in you!
Classes are taught by Joan Price, popular line-dance/fitness
instructor, speaker, and author. Scroll down for class information!
What
is line dancing? Picture rows of people dancing a set
choreography as an ensemble. The dance might be slow or fast,
and it might have the look of country-western, Latin, swing, or
Broadway. As they dance, they turn to face a different direction,
and the choreography begins again. There are thousands
of different line dances, ranging from super simple to extraordinarily
complex, featuring innovative choreography.
Since
you dance on your own in an ensemble, line dancing is ideal for
singles and for partners of non-dancers. It's also wonderful
for people who want a social activity that doesn't involve dating
or partnering. 
"I
took my first class with Joan on New Year's Eve afternoon in 2003 and
never looked back. I found myself looking forward to every Monday and
Friday night so I could go to dance class, and freeing up my schedule
on those night so I wouldn't miss a class! I love all the different types
of music we get to dance to, and the wonderful, friendly people to dance
with. Joan's instruction helps everyone to understand the steps, and build
their skills to progress to the next level of dance. Whether you are an
absolute beginner or a practiced dancer, you will be dancing and enjoying
yourself in no time." -- Brenda Shatto
"You’ve
taught me line dancing as a way to be happy, at peace and to feel free.
As Robert would say, it is a little bit of ecstasy twice a week. Pretty
awesome! Line dance may change the world. You’ve changed mine. Thank
you." -- Peter Harris
