About the class

Are you looking for a fun and social way to exercise and learn some new dance moves? If so, you might want to check out Grapevine Dance at the Sonoma Community Center for Line Dancing and lessons. Line dancing is a popular form of dance that involves a group of people performing synchronized steps to various genres of music. It’s a great way to improve your coordination, balance, and rhythm while having a blast with your friends or meeting new ones.

Grapevine Dance offers lessons for all ages, levels of experience and ability. You will learn a variety of popular line dances from beginner to advanced. The classes are taught by friendly and experienced instructors at Grapevine;  Jake, Courtney and Victoria (see bios and favorite dances below. )  They will guide you through the dances and make sure you have fun along the way. You don’t need a partner to join the classes, just bring yourself and your enthusiasm.

Grapevine Dance was formed when three friends decided there wasn’t enough social life in Sonoma Valley. They took it upon themselves to reach out to local businesses to partner with them for social line dance evenings. What started as a fun hobby quickly became a rapidly growing community of people passionate for learning and gathering together to dance.

Want to try some of the popular line dances on your own or be able to practice in between lessons – see popular line dance titles and levels below. Plug them into Youtube or get out and join more of the North Bay line dancing community by checking out Grapevine Dance  at their website or Instagram!

The only thing you need to wear is comfortable closed-toed shoes, boots are not required but recommended for the authentic line-dancing feel.

What is the process for cancelling my registration?

We ask that you notify us at least 10 days in advance of a class if you need to cancel your registration. You may cancel by phone or email and we will gladly offer you a refund or credit toward a future class. If you cancel with less than 10 days’ notice, we will not be able to provide refunds, due to our contractual obligations and material purchases for each class. 

Sometimes, the Sonoma Community Center has to cancel a class due to low enrollment or unforeseen circumstances, such as a natural disaster or health emergency. If this happens and we do not offer a reschedule date, you will be refunded 100% of your registration fee, or credit towards a future class. If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.

Do you pro-rate late additions to classes?

Late additions to any program, class, or workshop that has already begun will be allowed on a per-case basis depending upon the Program Director & instructors approval. Late additions will have to pay the full registration cost of the class, along with any materials fees, and will not be prorated for the time missed. You may reach out to the program directors directly, or the Program Associate Sean Baskin at sean@sonomacommunitycenter.org to request a late addition.
