Testimonials About Private Lessons w/ Adam!

"Lessons with Adam were a ton of fun. It was nice to have one-on-one attention which you don't get with the group lessons; though I'm sure he'd be great in a group situation too. He teaches country line and couples dances, so you get your pick. He's friendly, helpful and his availability is pretty flexible."

When I needed basic country dancing lessons so I'd not be embarrassed to get 'off my duff' and on the dance floor with my wife and daughter, I called Adam. It's true that beer has been making white men dance for thousands of years, but not drinking denied me the magic elixir to make me forget I did not know how to dance! Adam was great taking me from not knowing the first thing about dancing through the two-step in a single lesson, an accomplishment for us both. He was great in explaining the basic steps, having me practice, then dancing with a partner and the whole time I never felt uncomfortable or spastic. If The Dancing Cowboy can get a 50+ year old guy on the dance floor, he can teach anybody who wants to learn

Line Dancing - Google in Mountain View, Graduation Parties, Wedding Rehearsals, College Parties and other BBQ's

This summer, we taught line dancing at many events in the Bay Area and I did not get a chance to post about them, so here are highlights from some of them.

Google - Mountain View, CA
Debbie and Amelia at Google were great! They had a BBQ at lunch to appreciate their hardworking employees on a Friday in June and it was a lot of fun! The catered BBQ by Armadillo Willy's was tasty as well. Google sure has a fun culture!

Line Dancing at Google!

Graduation Party
In late June, we taught line dancing at a graduation party in Saratoga, CA. This was another fun event. His family and friends got out to line dance and all ages had fun! The family put on a small talent show and it was clear that this young man will go far!

Wedding Rehearsal
This event was held at a private ranch and from the picture, you can tell these guys did not want to line dance!

Line Dancing - Bulls

The people at the party did, however, and there were about 40 people tearing it up after our lessons. Local Bay Area favorite, The Bell Brothers were at this event providing live music and kept the party going too! It was great working with you guys!

The Bell Brothers

College Party
At a local university, we provided line dance lessons for a group of fun loving college students. These groups usually have a high percentage of people who want to learn, and this one was no different! College students learn fast a love to learn as many dances as they can. Great job to everyone who was there!

Thanks to EVERYONE who made this Summer fun and filled with line dancing!

Hot Country Concerts

For those of you that enjoyed hearing about the Hot Country Concerts coming up, I moved them to another place.  I wanted to focus this site on line dancing and my line dancing experiences.

If you want to see the latest country concerts, then go to my friend Indiana Al's website.

The Rodeo Club

The Rodeo ClubSAN JOSE, CA - The Rodeo Club is one of the places Adam can be found dancing.

The Rodeo Club opens two main dance floors on country nights.  The larger front one is used for couples dancing and line dancing, as the line dancers have seem to forgotten the line dance floor to the side of the stage.  The Club Rodeo seems to stay with country music longer than the Rack.

This is the club that KRTY sponsors, so you can listen to KRTY 95.3 FM for news on upcoming concerts.  The picture above is of Julie Roberts, the country singer, not Julia Roberts the actress. =)


My advice:  The Rodeo Club is only open for country on Wednesday and Friday nights.  Doors open at 7p, Lessons at 7:30p, and live music starts at 9p.  Listen to KRTY for updates, as the schedule for this club is subject to change.

The Saddle Rack

The Saddle Rack FREMONT, CA - The Saddle Rack is one of the places Adam can be found dancing.  From November 2004 to July 2005 and again from January 2006 to August 2006, Adam helped with dance lessons at The Saddle Rack.  There he made many friends and learned alot about line dancing instruction.

The Saddle Rack has two main dance floors.  The larger front one usually is used for couples dancing until sometime after 10:30pm on weekend nights.  After that time, not much country dancing happens, as the atmosphere turns club-like.

The back dance floor at The Saddle Rack is usually for line dancing.  On Friday nights, many of the dance instructor's helpers stay around and enjoy themselves.  Usually someone will know a dance that corresponds to each song.  If you can pick up dances quickly, this is one of the best ways to pick up a dance or two.


My advice:  Get there as early as you can when the country dancing is hot and before the clubbers get there and take over.  Doors open at 7p, Lessons at 7:30p on weeknights, and live music starts at 9p.

Dancing Attracts the Ladies...

You can add a new skill to your lady attracting abilities today if you send me an email today!
