SPLIT FLOOR DANCES FOR BEGINNERS
2004 to Present day
COMPLIED BY
WANDA HELDT
‘SILVER STAR WANDA’RERS LINE DANCING CLUB’
DANCES LISTED HAVE BEEN TRIED & TESTED
IN CLASS AND AT SOCIALS - HAVE FUN
I remembered my first social – only knew 5 dances and so sat most of the evening just watching and wanting so much to be on the dance floor, have never forgotten what it was like to be a beginner. So these last 10 years I have always tried never to let my beginners or guests be left out at a social and even in class, I do split floor - it teaches the beginners to not be fazed by other dancers doing an alternate dance.

I started to Choreograph dances to use as split floor because of my beginners
My choreography listed in blue
At socials we are able to put a dance to most of the music that is played if we don’t know the dance
If we Line dancers are mindful of others and share the dance floor, then Fun for ALL no matter what level a dancer one is
I am always adding as new dances come along – that is for now – hope will enjoy and have FUN
