If you thought line dancing was just a once-in-a-while country bar thing… think again. The Quad Cities has built a full-on line dancing scene, and it’s surprisingly easy to jump into.

Whether you’ve never stepped foot on a dance floor or you’re ready to show off your best moves, there are now multiple weekly options to get involved.
