What Makes a Great Line Dance Instructor?
Great instructors do more than memorize steps. They count clearly, cue moves a beat ahead, and read the room so beginners never feel lost. The course’s focus on assessing a class and offering modifications helps you build exactly those habits. Each 50-minute Country Fusion® class centers on country line dancing with four wild card (non-country) dances, so you’ll learn to keep the energy high from start to finish.
What Happens After You’re Certified?
This is where the fun really begins! As a Country Fusion® Star, you receive the song list and choreography for our workout, support with marketing and promoting your classes, and discounts on Country Fusion® apparel. You also join a growing community of instructors who love sharing country music and movement. Our founder, Elizabeth Mooney, has been dancing professionally since the age of 2, and she built this program to help you become a confident line dance instructor with a proven class format behind you.
