How did it all begin?

I started Line Dancing in Newport in 1995 initially at the Kings Hotel. It was just, me, a few CDs, a sound system, and a couple of dances in my head. Along with my then dance partner Zoe, and my Mum, Vee, on the door taking tickets we managed to scrape together a class of around 15 - the first class in South Wales.

After much publicity in the local and national press, the small class soon caught the eye of the local TV stations - we even had an item on BBC Wales Today! The class quickly grew to over 400 - far too big for the hotel, so was promptly moved to the Newport Centre. More TV coverage ensued, and with Zoe moving on to pastures new, and me chucking in my daytime job as a graphic designer I eventually set up more classes. We are now the biggest Line Dance class in Wales, and one of the largest in the UK! As the forerunner to the Line Dancing craze, the chances are your local class probably began with us! As well as the regular lessons, there are occasional Party Nights where all come together for one big social evening, whether it be Christmas, Halloween, my birthday or just for the fun of it! And I’ve still got Mum on the door!
