The Line Dance Plus class at the Spokane Valley Senior Center, 2426 N Discovery Pl, is for dancers with experience. Dances are mainly at the improver and easy intermediate level. We do a variety of new dances and old favorites.
The Line Dance Plus class meets on Friday afternoon from 1:30-3:30 pm. Some dance experience is beneficial as this class is faster paced with more challenging dances than the Tuesday beginner classes. Judy leads this class.
JAMM LineUp
JAMM Line Up is a monthly social dance usually held on the 3rd Saturday of each month from 6-9pm (2-5pm for the winter months) at the Western Dance Center at Sullivan Park in Spokane Valley. Some months the date may vary depending on availability of the facility or the JAMM facilitators (Judy, AnnMarie and Mary). We email the dance list (consisting of about 30 dances) at least a week in advance. Dances are a mix of levels, Absolute Beginner, Beginner, Improver and Intermediate, so that every one can participate. We often have floor splits so that beginners have the opportunity to dance an easy dance while the more experienced dance at a higher level. Facilitators lead the dances, and will do a walk through if necessary. We normally teach 2 easy dances during the first hour. Cost is $5 cash at the door. Snacks are welcome, but no peanut products due to allergies.

Judy
Spokane Valley Senior Center Line Dance Leader
My spouse and I moved to the Spokane area from Texas in June of 2020 to be closer to family. I began teaching at the Spokane Valley Senior Center in October 2021 when it opened up after Covid. Prior to that, I taught line dance for 10 years at churches and recreation centers in Arlington, Texas, from basic beginner to Intermediate/advanced levels. As a member of the Board of the North Texas Line Dance Association, we sponsored the North Texas Line Dance Classic, a 2 day dance event in Farmers Branch, Texas. It has been a joy to sponsor groups to many line dance events including H.O.T., Texas Line Dance Jamboree, Line Up & Dance, the Vegas Dance Explosion, and a Caribbean Cruise. I have also hosted workshops, taught/led dances at many line dance events, and participated in several flash mobs. I look forward to sharing many more fun years of line dancing here in the Spokane area.
Annmarie
North Spokane Dance Center Line Dance Leader
Annmarie loves to line dance and is always promoting events for us to attend and sending out new dances for us to teach. She teaches the Thursday night class at the North Spokane Dance Center. She also has a horse and a sailboat that keep her busy when she is not at her full time job. You will recognize her because she is tall and dances in shorts or a skort, probably because of hot flashes. :)
Mary
JAMM Coordinator & Western Dance Center Leader
Mary hasn't given me any information to put here so I will make something up. Mary has been line dancing most of her life. She knows dances most of us have never even heard of, if she can just remember how they start. She likes to wear dresses and has a closet full from her working days. She also like cowboy boots. If there is an outdoor event with a band anywhere nearby, Mary will be there dancing, but you won't know who she is so I took her picture so you can recognize her.
