Helsinki Line Dancersin courses and tasters – registration and practices

Helsinki Line Dancers offers four different levels during it’s evenings: beginners course, improvers course 1, improvers course 2 and advanced teaching that levels from Intermediate and above. For all the courses you need to register separately. Instead of an individual course registration you can also register for the package option (more about it later in the text).

For the advanced classes you do not register, you can simply enter the class and pay the participation either as a one-off payment or by getting yourself a card that is valid for 10 classes.

Here’s a short rundown of the levels:

Registration for the courses

For both courses you register via the form, after which you will receive a information e-mail containing instructions on payment. This means that your registration is accepted and you have been registered for the course. If you cannot be accepted to the course due to it being full, you will be placed on a waiting list that will be unpacked as previously accepted people drop out. The payment for the course is expected to be done one week before the start of the course (at the latest). If the payment is not done before the passing of the deadline, the registration is passed to the first one on the waiting list.

The only exception to the payment is that you pay the course as one-off payments after each class. In that case the payment is always done via MobilePay. Failure to make the payment after the class is a justified cause to cancel the participation of the participant to the course.

At the same price you can stay for free at the social dancing and regular teaching that starts on Mondays at 19:30. The level of the regular class is Intermediate and above.

Register for the packet solution!


What does it mean purchasing a packet solution?

Purchasing a packet solution means that you will register either to both beginners course and the improvers course 1 OR improvers course 1 and improvers course 2. The price for this package is 135 euros, meaning that you’ll pay 90 euros for the higher level course and 45 euros for the lower level course.

There are conditions to the solution, however. All the people who get the packet solution are processed at the higher level course as those who have registered for just the higher level course. But their registration for the lower level course is put on waiting list. All the people who register only to the beginners course have a priority.

If the maximum level of lower level course registrations is not met, the people who have registered to the packet solution are accepted to the lower level course in the order they have registered. But if the lower level course is sold out, the registration to the lower level course by the packet solution purchasers is cancelled.

This is because we want to take in as many new dancers to the beginners course as we can so that no-one who wants to learn line dance for the first time is left out.

Naturally those who get the package solution should pay only their higher level course payment. They should NOT PAY THE LOWER LEVEL COURSE BEFORE BEING ACCEPTED INTO THE LOWER LEVEL COURSE. Confirmation to the lower level course is given a week before the lower level course is due to begin. Naturally at this point the payment doesn’t need to be made a week before the start of the lower level course.

Furthermore, people who get the package solution need to take into account that the courses move along at the pace they are suppose to, meaning that at the lower level course the pace is at the lower level course pace and at the higher level course the pace is the higher level course pace.

Those who get the package solution are expected to be able to master line dancing at least on the higher level course level.

At the same price you can stay for free at the social dancing and advanced teaching that starts on Mondays at 19:30. The level of the regular class is Intermediate and above.

If you have any questions about the packet solution, send us a message via Contact -page’s contact details and ask the questions before you register for the packet solution.

What IS line dance?


Line dance is a form of dance that originated from the european ballroom dances from where it moved over to the United States where it evolved to the better-known form of dancing to Country music. To Finland line dance arrived at 1993, when at the lead of Mika Nurminen it started to spread around the country. At the turn of the millenium line dance had it’s next major change when other types of music such as latin music and irish music started gaining traction amongst the line dance community. Soon other forms of music, such as ballroom and hiphop assimilated themselves to the line dance scene.

Nowdays line dance is a melting pot of all kinds of dancing and on the floor you come across moves and patterns from other styles of dancing, such as moonwalks, batucadas, curved feathers, running mans and other patterns and moves. Musically line dance encompasses all kind of music and songs that have some sort of a logical structure of beat. A careful estimation puts the amount of line dances in the world over 250.000. The biggest website in the world, Copperknob is a home to about 185.000 stepsheets.
