CopperKnob Stepsheets

I’m originally from the Netherlands and have been in the USA since 1960. My parents loved to sing and dance and my mother was a singer with a band in Holland back in the 1940’s. I remember dancing with my dad around the house to a foxtrot, and a jitterbug in our living room being careful not to knock over the furniture. I truly believe I inherited my musicality from my parents.

I love to sing and dance and have been line dancing since the 90’s. I have been teaching line dancing for the past 10 years and it is my passion. It is so gratifying to see my student’s progress from the introduction levels into the higher levels of line dance. I also have a performance group called, “Out-Of-Line Dancers”. We perform at senior centers, local shows and various parties and events.

My inspiration for choreography comes when I hear a great song. Whether it’s an old classic, a country song or just a song that has a good beat. My feet start moving and the wheels start turning as I start to imagine the dance coming together. It is so important to keep moving and stay healthy as we age and line dancing gives us that opportunity.

Yvonne Krause has choreographed 204 dances, of which none have been co-choreographed. Their first published stepsheet on CopperKnob is Mexico from October 2007, with their most recent stepsheet of Right Here Right Now in June 2024.
