The Downtown Hoedown is a free monthly line dancing event that draws many participants, including beginners. Founders Joel Reske and Sean Sullivan offer beginner-friendly lessons. Their journey began after attending a line dancing event, realizing they needed to learn some moves themselves. They initially taught themselves using YouTube tutorials in their garage. With their backgrounds in music and dance, they found teaching the dances a natural progression. Their initiative has made line dancing accessible to newcomers, creating an inclusive atmosphere at the event.
"Sean was like 'before we come back, we've got to learn a few dances,' Reske tells 48 Hills. So we decided we'd teach ourselves a couple in our garage."
"We started by just putting on YouTube tutorials, and then once we had learned some dances, we started teaching them," Reske explains. "I think because of our musical training, we were able to teach pretty well."
