Delia Schletter came to line dance late in life, but now claims to be an addict She had previous dance experience, having been an avid folk dancer in the early 1970s while attending graduate school But dancing, at that time, came to a halt when she started working full time It wasn’t until 2015 after she had retired (and re-retired!) that she found her passion in something that she had never heard of before—line dance It was being taught at a local senior center She then went searching for as many line dance teaching locations that she could find, including several that taught Soul Line Dance All of this led her to attend the Las Vegas Dance Explosion, a six-day event which hosts a crowd of ~1500 people from 27 countries After that, Delia was officially hooked!

Delia is now thrilled to introduce and entice others into the joy of her life by teaching beginning level line dance in three local cities Delia knows, deep in her being, that in addition to the physical and mental benefits of line dance, it is just plain FUN!
