Who we are

Line dancing has been part of my world for as long as I can remember. My mum was a line dancer “back in the old days,” and although I never went to her classes, something must’ve slipped into my genes — because here I am, absolutely loving every step.

I come from a mixed movement background: ballet, aerobics instructing, and a career as a primary school teacher. Put all that together and you get someone who can break things down simply, keep things structured, and bring a whole lot of fun and energy to every class.

Salty Steppers began in September 2025, making us the newest line dancing club on the Coromandel — and proudly so. We laugh, tease, and strut our way through our sessions, creating a space where everyone feels welcome and every dancer, from first-timers to seasoned steppers, can find their rhythm.

If you’re looking for a class that’s warm, light-hearted, and guaranteed to give you a few giggles along the way, you’ve found your dance family.
