About

Est. 1974 // The Origins

Line Dancing NE wasn't born in a boardroom; it started with a handful of dancers who wanted authentic country line dancing without travelling hundreds of miles. Today we're building a community across the North East — one stomp at a time.

Victoria Nicholls, founder of Line Dancing NE"The boots may change, the beat remains." — Victoria Nicholls, Founder

Our Mission

Born from a desire to bring the unfiltered energy of country line dancing to village halls and community centres across the North East. We aren't just a dance class — we're a community built on dust, denim, and a shared pulse.

New to Line Dancing?

Don't sweat the footwork. We've got the mirrors, the music, and the masters to get you floor-ready in sixty minutes.

What to Expect

  • 60-Minute Drills

    Intensive breakdown of 3 essential patterns per session.

  • Mirror-Sync Feedback

    Watch your form alongside instructors in our vintage full-length wall mirrors.

  • The "Graduation" Beer

    Every first-timer gets a token for a cold one at the Saloon bar after class.

The Head
Barber

"I don't just teach steps; I teach the swagger. Most people are afraid of the dance floor because they don't want to mess up. In the workshop, messing up is part of the rhythm."
