Meet Line Dancing John

Hi, I'm Line Dancing John. John or LD is fine! Line dancing entered my life in 2016 when someone invited me to try lessons at a local club. I instantly fell in love with the music, the energy, and, without realizing it, I found an incredible community.

Although my professional background was in social work for nearly two decades, I became passionate about line dancing almost overnight. Within a few months I was helping friends and coworkers learn. In a year I was invited to teach my own class.

Today I run my own line dancing club while instructing weekly group classes. I teach both on land and at sea aboard cruise ships. I have the honor of being hired for private lessons, parties, celebrations, and business events. My goal is simple: to make line dancing fun, welcoming, and inclusive.

Line dancing has evolved tremendously since I first started and is no longer limited to country music. I enjoy curating a wide variety of music genres while teaching line dance staples and the newest dances making their way through the Southern California line dancing communities.

I'm not classically dance trained, and I believe that's one of my greatest strengths as an instructor. I still remember what it felt like to be a complete beginner. Believe it or not, I couldn't dance what I jokingly call the "holy trinity" of line dancing: the Electric Slide, Cupid Shuffle, and the Wobble.

My early struggles learning to line dance continue to shape the way I teach today. I strive to be the instructor I wish I had when I was learning — someone who makes their lessons approachable for beginners while still offering enough variety and challenge to keep experienced dancers engaged and growing.
