Join other parents and community members for a relaxed, music-led line dancing session that gets the body moving and the spirits up. This upper-beginner class is designed for participants who have had a few months' experience and are ready to build confidence on the dance floor while enjoying a friendly social atmosphere.
What to Expect
You can expect lively music, simple choreography and a welcoming group that prioritises fun over perfection. The class focuses on repetition and rhythm so you’ll quickly pick up steps and enjoy the exercise benefits of line dancing.
Classes are tailored to upper-beginner level: not for complete novices but ideal for parents who have done a few sessions and want to progress. Expect clear instructions, gentle pacing and plenty of encouragement to help you feel at ease.
Bring comfortable shoes and a positive attitude; line dancing is great for cardiovascular fitness, coordination and social connection. The session mixes music, movement and short breaks to keep things enjoyable for busy parents juggling family life.
Activity Details
Sessions run weekly on Fridays from 09:30 to 10:30 and are led by an experienced local instructor who focuses on technique, timing and having fun. Each class includes warm-up, step work and cool-down to support injury-free movement and sustainable fitness gains.
The class suits adults who already know basic line dance patterns and want a friendly, community-based exercise option. It’s a gentle form of exercise that improves balance and mobility while providing a social outlet for parents of school-aged children.
Please wear comfortable, supportive shoes and bring water. If you have any specific health concerns, check with your GP before participating and let the instructor know on arrival so adaptations can be suggested.

Important Information
This is an upper-beginner class: participants should have some prior line dance experience (a few months). The session is not recommended for absolute beginners; consider a beginner-level class first if you’re brand new to line dancing.
Sessions are light-to-moderate intensity—perfect for middle-aged parents seeking low-impact exercise with social benefits. Notify the instructor of any injuries or mobility concerns so steps can be modified to suit your needs.
There is no requirement to book in advance, but spaces can be limited on busy days. Bring water and dress in layers so you can adjust for comfort during warm-ups and cool-downs.
Booking and Prices
Cost is $5 per session, payable on arrival. Bookings are not required, which makes it easy for busy parents to drop in after school or between errands without planning weeks ahead.
If you have questions about session dates, cancellations or group discounts, contact Sundowner Community Centre directly; staff can advise about term timetables and any changes to the program. Keep an eye on the City of Kingston events page for updates and additional community classes.
Payment is casual and entry is typically on a first-come basis, so arriving a little early is recommended to secure your place. Enjoy the affordable, fun way to stay active and connected in Clarinda.
