Impact: I would say that the line dance community has made the world feel smaller and my friendship circle grow larger.
First-timer encouragement: I would let them know that line dancing builds confidence, delays old age and creates lifelong friendships.
Gina Davis
Conway, SC
Bio: A Dancer & Instructor at heart, but I am on Copperknob when I collaborated with a young dancer for her first choreography to the dance: Ain't No Count. I have been teaching for 3 years now and love it more everyday. My passion is helping others, the more folks on the floor, although squishy, makes my heart happy. I coordinate Flashmob events for the line dancers in the Myrtle Beach area for locals and extended dance family members. I feel very blessed with my Beaches, Boots and Besties line dance family. Let's Dance!
--'Country Line Dance Fans' and 'Country Line Dance Fan Fest' was established to celebrate and spotlight the good and positive effect Line Dancing has made on countless lives. How has Country Line Dancing impacted your world in a positive way?
Line dancing benefits your Mind, Body and Soul! It keeps your brain and memory active, fun way to keep physically active and you will feel uplifted with all the love and support when you are part of a line dance family community. Line Dancing was life changing for me, and I have created strong long lasting friendships- with people who understand when you run to the dance floor in mid-conversation cause the song to your favorite dance just started.
Terry Coleman
Hardeeville, SC
Bio: From flips to fancy feet! Terry Coleman has a lifelong love of movement. From childhood gymnastics to high school cheerleading and the pom pom squad. Her passion for fitness continued with Jazzercise classes. She nurtured a younger generation's love of movement for 13 years, teaching gymnastics and running her own mobile business for a decade. In 2011, line dancing at the YMCA sparked a new rhythm. Life took her on some moves of its own, but upon settling in Latitude Margaritaville Hilton Head in 2019, the rhythm re-emerged. Her infectious enthusiasm for the few line dances she knew caught the eye of the lifestyle director, who offered her to teach line dance as a fitness class. Terry’s program blossomed. Today, she now leads a thriving group, L'Atitude Line Dancin', with eight weekly classes and a monthly dance. Their motto, "If we couldn't Dance, we would all go insane!” is proudly displayed on their shirts as they showcase their moves at the Fitness Expo, Pirate Fest, parades, flash mobs and even a special “Line Dance Cruise”! When not line dancing, Terry enjoys paddle boarding, kayaking, and exploring the neighborhood on her bike and scooter.

--'Country Line Dance Fans' and 'Country Line Dance Fan Fest' was established to celebrate and spotlight the good and positive effect Line Dancing has made on countless lives. How has Country Line Dancing impacted your world in a positive way?
It has been great meeting new people including instructors and choreographers who have the same passion for line dancing. My own line dance group, L’Atitude Line Dancin’, feels like family. It has boosted my confidence seeing my students learn dances and perform. Also along the way, I have become a better line dancer. Line dancing keeps me active and is a lot of fun.
--What would you say to encourage someone to try Country Line Dancing for the first time?
Line dancing is great exercise for the body and mind. It’s a great way to meet new people and have fun. When first learning, I like to say, just fake it until you make it.
