In our efforts to improve the dancers experience all the way from registering for the first time to the time you regularily visit the Advanced -classes, we have created a system that lets you see the current status of registrations for each course. The system isn’t perfect, as it doesn’t take into account all the people who have registered for the package solution. However, it is a great improvement from the previous situation and it gives you even more transparency to the process as we believe every decision you make should be as informed one as it can be. You can see the registration status on the page where you can register (naturally), which is here: https://www.helsinkilinedancers.fi/classes-registration. Hope it helps you out when you’re deciding where to register!

23.11.2026 we will combine the 1-year anniversary of Helsinki Line Dancers and the end-of-season party! In the evening, we will have one improver -level teaching and the rest of the evening will be social dancing. Regardless of your level, you can request the dances you know here: https://bootstepper.com/collections/CO4CK7JD52BD8B47

There will be major changes coming to Helsinki Line Dancers’ classes in the upcoming season that starts in January! We will add additional level (improver course 2) and part of the classes will move to Tuesday (beginners course and improver course 1) as we change to a new venue. We are doing this based on the feedback from the dancers throughout the last few seasons, as we are trying to make the advancement from beginners to advanced (formerly known as regular class) more logical with the added level. We are also trying to increase the amount of social dancing for improver course 2 with the change as well. And we are changing the name of the regular class to Advanced, as even though it isn’t a perfect name for the group, it is more suited than regular class that doesn’t give indications to the level at all.

Registration for all 4 levels is open now, register quickly if you want to join before places run out! We’ll take about 60 people to beginners course and to improver course 1, and about 50 people to improver course 2 and Advanced.
