She added that there are many advantages to line dancing with regards to coordination, stamina, balance, midline crossing as well as nifty footwork to build confidence, among others.

“Our girls thoroughly enjoyed learning new dances and having music during their physical education lessons. It has been a wonderful time for the girls to just ‘let loose’ and have a little fun in these uncertain times,” said Davis.
