About line dance classes in Plymouth
Line dancing has quietly become one of the most popular things on our timetable, and our line dance classes in Plymouth show why: it needs no partner, it works at any age and fitness level, and every dance is built from the same handful of steps — grapevines, shuffles, kick-ball-changes, pivots — arranged into short patterns that repeat to each wall. Once the pattern is in your feet, the dance runs itself and you get to enjoy the music. It's also one of the few dances where a room full of strangers moves as one within an hour, which is half the appeal.
Alongside the other solo styles on our Plymouth dance classes page it's the gentlest entry point, and it's a surprisingly good foundation for ballroom, where the same weight changes and turns appear with a partner attached. When a group wants the same fun in one go, our line dancing hen party class squeezes a full block's worth of dances into a single afternoon.
How the class is structured
We begin with a few minutes of easy movement to the first track — walking the floor, marking a grapevine, getting the room used to turning to a new wall. Then the teacher walks through the dance of the week: each section demonstrated with its back to the class so you're copying the same way round, counted without music, then with music slowly, then at tempo. Every dance is called aloud the whole way through, so there's no memory test. Over a four-week block the room builds a repertoire of three or four dances, revisited each week so they stick, with a new one added on top. Country tracks share the playlist with pop, soul and the odd surprise, and the pace is set by the slowest feet in the room rather than the fastest. We finish by running the whole set through once more, then send you off with the names of the dances so you can look them up at home.
Where it goes
Four weeks
of line dancing.
Line dancing builds a repertoire rather than one routine, so each week adds something you'll keep. Here's the usual arc.
The first dance
Grapevines, shuffles and a simple 32-count, two-wall dance learned from scratch and repeated until it's automatic.
A second dance and a turn
A new pattern with a quarter-turn built in — the moment the room starts facing different walls without panic.
Faster feet
Kick-ball-changes, pivots and a livelier tempo, plus revisiting the first two dances so they stay in your legs.
A full set
Three or four dances back to back to a proper playlist — the point where you could walk into any line dance night and join in.

Line dancing questions
Ask us
about line dancing.
The questions Plymouth line dancers ask most, answered in ten short paragraphs. For anything we've left out, drop it in the form.
01Is it all country music?
No. Country is where line dancing started and it's still on the playlist, but modern line dancing borrows pop, soul, rock and roll and even the occasional chart hit. Expect a mix, and feel free to request.
02Do I need a partner?
Never. Line dancing is done in lines facing the same way, so everyone dances solo but together. It's the ideal class if you'd rather not be paired with a stranger.
03What do I wear on my feet, and do you supply anything?
Any comfortable shoe with a smooth sole that lets you pivot — trainers, flat shoes or boots if you have them. Boots are optional and entirely your own; we don't supply or lend any footwear or gear.
04I've got two left feet — will I cope?
Yes. Every dance is walked through slowly, counted and then called aloud the whole way through, so you always know what's next. Most people manage the first dance within the first half-hour.
05How old are the people in the class?
Anywhere from 17 to 75 — line dancing genuinely spans the ages, and a typical room has a mix of decades. The pace suits everyone because the dances are called, not raced.
06How much do classes cost?
£10 for a single line dancing class, or £32 for a four-week block, which brings it to £8 a session. No membership, no joining fee and nothing that renews without you asking.
07Where in Plymouth is it held?
At a studio we hire in Plymouth city centre, within easy reach of the railway station, the bus routes and the main car parks. We'll tell you the exact studio and room when we send the timetable.
08Will I learn dances I can use elsewhere?
Yes — we teach recognised line dances that are called the same way at social nights around the country, so what you learn here works in any hall or club that runs a line dance evening.
09Is it a good workout?
A gentle but real one. An hour of continuous stepping, turning and travelling adds up, and many people take it up specifically as low-impact exercise. You can put as much or as little energy into it as you like.
10Can I come once before booking a block?
Naturally — the £10 drop-in exists for precisely that reason. Try a class, see how the calling and the music suit you, and book four weeks from the next session if you enjoy it.
