Helsinki Line Dancers holds a improver course for anyone interested in line dancing at XXXXX (XXXXXXX) every Monday XX.XX. – XX.XX.2026 (12 times) at XX:XX – XX:XX. During the course you will learn known line dances and patterns that will be used later on in more challenging dances. There is no need for a partner, but at the same time you will not be the only person on the floor. For music we use all kinds of music, meaning you will hear Country music and non-Country music (for instance, pop).
Your starting level requires that you have gone through some line dance beginners course or you have some level of experience in line dancing. On the course you continue to evolve your previously learned skill as the choreographies become more challenging, but not yet as challenging as Intermediate/Advanced -level. Usually during class you learn one line dance choreography which is then rehearsed to various songs going from slower ones to faster ones.
Clothing for the course is free of choice, we recommend comfortable clothing (for instance t-shirt and pants) and comfortable shoes to dance in (shoes need to be fit for use in the interior spaces). A water bottle is also good to bring along.
Your instructor will be Mikael Mölsä (featured in the picture), a known figure in the finnish line dance scene. Mikael has over 25 years of experience teaching line dance to various levels. Mikael’s way of teaching can be described as energetic and engaging and students enjoy his classes.
After the class some dance requests are played and it is suggested that the course participants participate these dances so that they can apply what they have learned in practice and thus evolve as dancers. It is also highly recommended to repeat the learned choreography between the classes so that you’ll remember dances and the dancing evolvement of the dancer happens.
The price of the course is 90 euros. You can also pay each class as a one-off payment, in which case the price is 9 euros per class. Sadly you cannot use sports benefits as a payment for the course.
If you arrive for the first time: if the door is not open when you arrive, ring the black doorbell and someone will come and open the door for you.
Additional info about the venue of the teachings you can find here.
All the dances taught at the courses, tasters and regular teachings will be listed here.

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 200.000. The biggest website in the world, Copperknob is a home to about 165.000 stepsheets.
