Line Dance Connection: |
How did you get involved in
dancing? |
James Carr Jr.: |
Line dancing is actually something I had been wanting to get into for years, before a really good
friend of mine introduced me to the group. I saw line dancing in clubs and at
college parties but no one could ever tell me where to learn them, and
YouTube videos weren't popular back then. One day, during a conversation, my
friend mentioned going to a class, we met up, so I could try it, and I never
stopped. |
