Country Fusion with Kara Ann

06/19/2026

We are ONE WEEK AWAY from my next line dance workshop! Join me to learn “3 Tequila Floor” next Thursday night! Last month I taught the dance TGIF to the Pitbull song “Greenlight” and after that one class I had attendees telling me that they could finally get out on the dance floor and do this line dance! 🙌🏻 That is my goal for each of these classes. Hit the harder, popular dances head on so you can finally have fun and confidence at your next line dance event. Sign up using the link: https://gforms.app/Or2YDny

I realized I haven’t done one of these in a while!

So, hi! I am Kara Ann and I am a country line dance instructor! I live in northwest NJ and have been a lifelong dancer and teacher. I have been certified in Country Fusion line dance fitness for 10 years. I also teach line dancing at restaurants and bars, for public and private events including clubhouses, weddings, parties, fundraisers, schools, and town festivals. I love working with live bands and DJs, too. I am fully insured and certified in CPR. I can also provide my own sound equipment as needed.

I have quite the background that led me to this business venture. I studied ballet, pointe, tap, modern, etc. for decades and learned ballroom and taught partner swing dance in college. Then, country line dancing sort of found me after that when I met Elizabeth with Country Fusion! I immediately fell in love with the entire lifestyle and became one of the first instructors of the workout 10 years ago and started teaching line dance. I also taught elementary school for over 10 years before staying home with my own babies, so I have the patience and training for breaking down dance steps.

I love line dancing because it’s a great way to make friends, you don’t need a dance partner to have a good time, and it can be a great workout! I am passionate about bringing the love of this hobby, and lifestyle, to others. Line dance has enriched my life over the years and I get excited to share that with others.

Recently, I tapped into my background studying and teaching social partner dance and got certified to teach partner country two step and country swing with Country Fusion! I am elated to share my love of lead/follow social dancing and pioneer bringing more two step and country swing to this area of New Jersey!

Let me know if you would like to work with me to bring line dance, country partner dance, or Country Fusion to your event, venue, or business!

After 4 weeks of lessons, my hubby is looking pretty good dancing country swing🥰 Whenever people ask me why he doesn’t come out line dancing much, I honestly and simply put that it was never something he was interested learning how to do. I am totally comfortable with that! He is a drummer and instruments were never my thing either. Plus we ski together! 🤗

However, he was very interested in learning how to dance WITH me! I love any kind of swing dancing because I love its upbeat nature, the bounce to the steps, and revel in the spontaneity and surprise of linking moves together. Partner line dance is fun too, but I don’t enjoy it as much because the footwork is still predictable.

Country swing relies on a lead/follow connection which I consider a valuable lifelong skill anyone should spend time learning to approach any social and ballroom dance style. Once you have it down, it’s easier to learn any partner dance style after that. Also, I find country swing’s learning curve rather quick. You can get the timing, beat, footwork, and moves down fast to start looking great on the dance floor in no time (as you can see!).

I start another round of beginner lessons in two step and country swing on June 8. You don’t need any prior dance experience or a partner to attend! Just come as you are and I will take it from there. Grab some moves to look good dancing at all your summer and fall weddings coming up! Sign up ASAP!
