Line Dancing in Austin

Christy was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish! She is a true professional and provided our attendees with a fun and engaging experience at our Welcome Reception. Christy was able to bring a piece of Texas onsite and with that gave our attendees a unique and memorable time. I would definitely consider working with Christy again at a future Austin event!

Christy made everyone feel comfortable and many attendees stepped outside of their comfort zone and tried something new! The dances were easy to follow, well taught, and so much fun!

Fantastic!

Christy came to our retirement community apartment complex and did an outstanding job! She came in well prepared and had a great list of songs to play. We danced thru the decades from the 50's thru present and she had the perfect selection for every era and would ask engaging questions as she transitioned. She put on different jackets for each which was fun to see. She also had great music playing prior while the residents had lunch before starting the dance. Everyone had a great time and we are still talking about it! We all HIGHLY RECOMMEND her and would love to invite her back again!

What to expect

If you're organizing a party, wedding, corporate event, or school assembly, you need more than just someone who teaches dance steps—you want someone who energizes the crowd and keeps them entertained. Clear communication is key, so it's important that the instructor has a strong voice and quality microphone, along with a reliable sound system. Most importantly, you want someone who can break down moves for beginners while still challenging experienced dancers. Christy brings all of that and more, so that it will always be memorable. If you’re simply looking for music—either as the main feature or background music —we now offer this service at affordable rates.

Note: Due to potential Wi-Fi and Bluetooth interference common at many events, Christy requests music selections in advance. She downloads all songs beforehand to ensure smooth, uninterrupted playback throughout your event. If you’d like, she can put together a recommended music playlist for you.

Set list

All music is carefully selected to be age-appropriate, ensuring there are no inappropriate lyrics for children. We will reach out to you for your preferred song list, and it's important that the songs align with the right tempo if teaching dance to beginners. Christy has spent years compiling a collection of popular song requests for each dance style, so you can trust her to provide the perfect playlist for your event if needed. "A great DJ and dance instructor does more than just play music—they read the crowd, keep the energy flowing and guests engaged, not just play a song. It's the human touch."
