VGCC Line Dancing Class Offers ‘Chattahoochie Hustle,’ ‘Texas Waltz’

Line dancing classes will begin again at Vance-Granville Community College on March 6, and instructor Lori Forsythe will teach a wide variety of the most popular of the dances.

Classes will be held on Tuesdays from 7 to 8 p.m. in Room 9111 on the lower level of the Civic Center on VGCC’s main campus for eight weeks, concluding April 24.

Forsythe, who has taught line dancing several years, said this year’s instruction will include the ever-popular “Electric Slide,” as well as the “Funky Cowboy,” Chattahoochie Hustle,” “Texas Waltz,” “Indian Summer Shuffle,” “Tulsa Hustle” and several others. Dances will be learned to country-and-western and pop-rock music by artists such as Tim McGraw, Christina Aguilera, Alan Jackson and Lee Ann Rimes.

“I’ll introduce a new dance each week, and we will review the ones we’ve learned each succeeding week,” Forsythe said. “I teach each dance by sections, and I guarantee every person will learn a dance.”

Line dancing is a fun way to exercise, similar to aerobics, Forsythe added.

Cost of the class is $25, to be collected the first night of the class. VGCC officials said it is important to pre-register by calling the Continuing Education office at (252) 492-2061, ext. 3316.
