About
Christchurch, New Zealand. I have over 20 years of experience in teaching dance.
At Dancing With Linda, we offer a variety of classes for adults in a social setting. Whether you are a beginner or advanced dancer, we have a class that will suit your needs. We teach Latin, Ballroom, and Sequence Dancing, including dances like Waltz, Cha Cha Cha, Rumba, Quickstep, Jive, Foxtrot, Samba, Salsa, and Tango. We also have a “Latin Line” solo class for those without a dance partner.
Classes are designed to be fun and relaxed, with an emphasis on learning and enjoying the beautiful music. Dancing is not only a great form of exercise, improving cardio fitness, but it also has significant mental health benefits. Learning dance steps stimulates memory, and the music provides a soothing and soul-nourishing experience. Additionally, dancing is a social activity, and many people join our classes to make lifelong friendships.
Our classes are open to adults of all ages, abilities, and sexual orientations. Whether you are a regular dancer, haven't danced in a long time, or are a complete beginner, there is a class for you. Linda is available for a chat to help you find the best class that suits your needs.
In addition to regular classes, we also organise events throughout the year. These events are open to participants of our classes, their friends, and family, as well as social dancers who wish to join. Please note that places at events are prioritised for those who attend our classes. Event dates and details can be found on our social media platforms or by contacting Linda directly.
For those who are unable to attend classes in person, we offer online videos through our Facebook and YouTube channels. These videos provide instructional content and showcase different dance styles. Access to a larger video library is available to members of our Facebook group “Members of Dancing with Linda.
To ensure safety and maintain class quality, we require advance booking as class numbers are restricted. Fees for classes are payable one week in advance, and missed sessions are non-refundable. In the event of local or national lockdowns, resulting in class or private lesson cancellations, payments will be held over until we reopen.
Dancing With Linda is owned and operated by Linda Coppell, who is a highly qualified and experienced dance teacher. Linda's love for dance began at a young age and has led her to establish Dancing With Linda in 2015. She is a qualified teacher of Ballroom and Latin American Dancing, having trained at The Vernon Johnson School of Dance and Drama in Christchurch, New Zealand. Linda is dedicated to providing enjoyable and rewarding dance experiences for all participants.
