Line Dancing Is Exercise in Disguise
Line dancing is more than just fun — it’s a fantastic low-impact exercise that keeps your body moving, your mind sharp, and your spirits high. It combines cardio, balance, coordination, and muscle engagement in a way that feels more like a social event than a workout.
Each routine uses rhythmic steps, directional changes, and sequences that strengthen the legs, hips, and core while improving flexibility and endurance. Because the movements are repetitive and can be modified for all abilities, line dancing is suitable for all ages and fitness levels — Including beginners and active seniors.
But it’s not just about physical health — it’s great for the brain and emotional well-being too. Memorizing patterns and syncing movements to music helps with memory, focus, and cognitive agility, while the social connection and upbeat atmosphere reduce stress and lift your mood.
Many participants say they “exercise without even realizing it” — because they’re too busy having fun, laughing with friends, and enjoying the music.
Whether your goal is fitness, fun, or friendship, line dancing offers it all. It’s a joyful way to stay active, energized, and connected — one step at a time.
Rowdy Outlaws Line Dance Classes
All ages and all levels are welcome! Whether you’ve never danced a step or have been kicking up your heels for years, there’s a place for you on the dance floor. Each class is led by Rhonda Laws, a passionate and experienced instructor who creates a fun, supportive atmosphere where everyone feels confident and included.
Rhonda teaches a variety of Absolute Beginner, Beginner, and Improver dances, reading the room to ensure every dancer learns at their own pace while having a great time. You’ll enjoy upbeat country and modern music, easy-to-follow choreography, and a chance to stay active while connecting with others who love to dance.
The Rowdy Outlaws aren’t just about steps and songs — they’re a true community. Dancers often join in for special events, socials, and local performances across Grey and Bruce Counties. Every class ends with smiles, laughter, and a few new moves to take home.
Kick up your heels, make new friends, and dance your cares away — the Rowdy Outlaws are waiting for you!
No partner? No problem!
Come alone or bring a friend —
there’s a line dance family waiting for you.
New Daytime Line Dancing Classes
at The Heritage Place Mall
I’m excited to share that two new daytime line dancing classes are now being offered at Heritage Place Mall, conveniently located beside TELUS.
These classes were created with community, accessibility, and connection in mind. Line dancing is truly exercise in disguise —
but more importantly, it’s about moving together, building confidence, and enjoying a welcoming space where everyone feels comfortable.
Babies & Caregivers Line Dance Class
"AKA - Sanity Hour"
Every Monday & Wednesday
10:00 am to 10:45 am
This class is designed especially for parents & caregivers who are looking for a welcoming space to move, connect, and enjoy time with other adults.
Babies are welcome to attend with their caregiver. Little ones may sleep, relax in a carrier, or simply be present, while caregivers enjoy gentle movement, easy choreography, and adult social time. The focus of this class is on caregiver wellness, connection, and having fun — not performance or perfection.
No dance experience is required.
Come as you are, move at your own pace, and know you’re in a supportive, judgement-free environment where caregivers can enjoy movement and conversation while still keeping baby close.
Low Impact Line Dance Class
Every Monday & Wednesday
11:00 am to 11:45 am
This class is ideal for adults looking for a low-impact, beginner-friendly way to stay active and social. Movements are gentle, routines are easy to follow, and the focus is on feeling good rather than keeping up.
Both daytime classes are:
Beginner friendly
Low impact
Inclusive and welcoming
Focused on connection, confidence, and fun
Classes take place at Heritage Place Mall (beside TELUS), making them easy to access for the community.

What Level of Dancer Are You?
Absolute Beginner - Brand new to line dancing?
Start here. We cover the true basics at an easy pace with lots of repetition and encouragement.
You’ll learn foundation steps like walks, toe/heel, step-touch, grapevine, and gentle ¼ turns.
Beginner - Comfortable with the basics and ready for more?
Now you start to build your step vocabulary and confidence with moves such as jazz box, rocking chair, kick-ball-change, coasters and simple tags/restarts.
Music is upbeat, the teaching is clear, and we focus on rhythm, timing and muscle memory.
Improver - When you are ready for a challenge?
Expect light technique, phrasing and patterns such as weaves, lock steps, scissors, syncopation and ½ & ¼ turns, with the occasional tag/restart.
Rhonda always offers options to keep it joyful and accessible, she also understands that sometimes other options are needed and offered so you can succeed and have fun from your very first class.
If you’re unsure of your level, start easier — you can always move up when you feel ready.

Meet Rhonda Laws
Rhonda is the heart and soul of the Rowdy Outlaws!
A passionate line dance instructor, community event organizer, and all-around motivator, Rhonda brings energy, laughter, and encouragement to every class she leads.
She teaches Absolute Beginners, Beginners, and Improver dances at each class, always reading the room to make sure everyone feels welcomed and supported.
Whether it’s someone’s very first lesson or a seasoned dancer, Rhonda creates an environment where every dancer learns a few new steps, enjoys routines at their comfort level, feels challenged in the best way, and leaves with a song in their head, a smile on their face, and a spring in their step — always excited to come back for more.
“It’s not just about the steps — it’s about connection, community, and a little bit of country soul.” — Rhonda Laws

What Are Dancers Saying...
“If you are looking for an energetic, patient, and fun instructor who makes every class enjoyable and easy to follow – I’d recommend Rhonda Laws.”
— Marie B.
“After COVID my husband and I were looking for a way to meet people and get out of the house. What we found is a wonderful line dancing family made up of so many amazing individuals. Rhonda has always taken so much pride in including everyone and giving challenges to each class that make us want to come back to the next class. She is an amazing instructor. We are so lucky to be a part of this 'Family'. I would recommend everyone get out and try Line Dancing!” — Deb & John A.
“I started line dancing with Rhonda almost 2 years ago, It has been one of the best experiences of my life! Great exercise. I have met awesome new friends and I would recommend that everyone give it a try!” — Judy N.
“Rhonda is an amazing line dancing teacher! She makes every level of dancer feel welcome! I look forward every week to line dancing class and all the different events she is hosting! Most of all we have fun, laughter, and I have met some amazing people we call our dancing family.” — Diane B.
“I love dancing with Rhonda's Rowdy Outlaws at The Dunes Restaurant in Sauble Beach – the venue, the fellow dancers, and the instructor Rhonda all make it such a welcoming and fun experience. Thanks for a great night out every week! I also enjoy taking part in the special weekend line dancing events and fundraisers that Rhonda hosts.” — Paul F.
“We are so fortunate to have line dancing in Meaford with such a skilled, experienced (and in demand) instructor. I smile every week when I arrive and see the parking lot full and the side streets lined with cars. Rain, snow, shine or heat — nobody wants to miss Monday nights with Rhonda! It's a dream come true for me to be able to express myself in dance with a group of people. Line dancing makes dance accessible to anyone of any age or ability.
Rhonda always breaks things down, offers modifications and keeps it fun.” — Esteri L.
I’ve loved coming out to enjoy and experience the line dancing community, in a healthy and energetic way, to exercise and take part in our vibrant community! Thank also to Lakeshore Racquetball Club for making this space available!!
---Kim G.
What Are Dancers Saying...
“Love line dancing with the Rowdy Outlaws. I was brand new to line dancing last year and now look forward to Monday nights! Rhonda's a great teacher and line dancing is so good for the body and brain.” — Gail L.
“If you are even thinking about joining a line dance class, Rhonda's is ‘THE ONE to join’. Not only is she welcoming and patient with newbies, she reads the room and knows when to let her more advanced dancers let loose with a faster, more complicated dance. Her timing is perfect, and her cueing of dance moves spot on. AND her music ROCKS!!!”
— Jane A.
“It was a pleasure to be welcomed as a guest when visiting my girlfriend in Meaford. I line dance with a group in Welland now, I had a great time learning the line dance Rhonda taught last week — ‘Thriller,’ appropriately for Halloween time! Lots of fun along with other various levels of dance numbers as the evening progressed. Everyone was very welcoming, and I was impressed to see such a great turnout at your Monday group class.” — Linda Stokes
“I love Rhonda's class, it doesn't matter if you are new, been coming for awhile or just not very good like me, she welcomes all. Rhonda is always going above and beyond for our line dancing group and community. So thankful she is in Meaford!”
— Laura M.
“A very welcoming environment for those new to line dancing and something for every level. Can't wait to keep coming back, to keep improving and to keep having fun.” — Annika P
“Four years ago, when I started with Rhonda, I had very little to zero experience in Line Dancing. Now, I probably have 80 or more dances under my belt. With gentle guidance, repetition and coming out consistently, you can do it too! Rhonda has fostered a line dancing community — one that encourages beginners, challenges advanced dancers, and creates camaraderie and new friendships.
The community has grown to include showcasing at local fall fairs, supporting fundraising events (Stomp the Bruce, Prance, the Witches Dance @ Harrison Park, to name a few). In addition, there is regular open dancing at the Sauble Dunes Restaurant, shopping trips, other dancing excursions, and my favorite: our occasional theme‑night dress‑ups, Halloween and Christmas celebrations, and group potlucks!” — Christina M.
“I am a senior citizen and have recently joined Rhonda's Line Dancing class. Although I have been introduced to Line Dancing by two other instructors, I am truly enjoying learning with Rhonda Laws. She ALWAYS reviews the steps to a dance before putting the music on. If some parts are difficult, Rhonda offers alternative steps which are easier. There is never any criticism or insistence on doing the dance perfectly. Rhonda just wants participants to enjoy what they are doing and to enjoy being challenged.” — Marilyn R.
What Are Dancers Saying...
"“I showed up a couple of months ago to Rhonda’s class, I felt welcomed right away and it didn’t matter that I had no experience. I quickly learned how welcoming the community was and how professional and knowledgeable Rhonda is. I witnessed Rhonda achieve a good balance of setting us beginners up for success while still challenging the regulars and giving us beginners something to strive for!” — Sofie C
“Love the atmosphere! Puts a sweat on, and is loads of fun!!” — KB
“Rhonda has made me line dancing obsessed. She has a patient and easy‑to‑follow way of teaching and the group is fun and supportive of newbies. This city girl has officially turned country (ish). lol”
— Mel S.
“I have been dancing under Rhonda's guidance by regularly attending several of her classes since 2021. The classes and other events are well structured to accommodate all levels of dancers and are a perfect combination of fitness and fun. I look forward to more great times with Rhonda and the Rowdy Outlaws!!” — Maxine J.
“I really appreciate Rhonda's teaching system, teaching a dance in repetitive increments of 4 or 8 steps. Assuming my health allows it, I look forward to returning to her classes next spring during our time at our trailer.” — Bob E.
“I would love for people to know that this is the best line dancing class I have been to. The people are very friendly and willing to help people who are new. Rhonda is very good at making everyone feel like an old friend and her instructions are easy to follow. Always a great time!” — Patricia F.
“I was introduced to Line Dancing in the summer of 2025 by my daughter. I jumped at the opportunity to engage in a fun activity with her during her summer visit home from school and I am still attending the classes! Rhonda Laws’ energetic personality makes you feel that you are a part of a community of great people who share their love for dance at any level. Each class is loads of FUN, with a perfect cardio workout at a light to moderate intensity level. Sit out and join back in at your own pace.” — Dana
“I love and really enjoy learning line dancing from Rhonda Laws/Rowdy Outlaws...she is patient, funny and is always paying attention to all of her students to make sure no matter what level they are, they are learning the steps. The classes are fun, affordable and just a great night out!” — Ayse H.
“I enjoy coming out because I learn new dances each week. I find Rhonda is an awesome instructor. She is always smiling and make sure that we are having fun. I get a great workout after I am done.” — Carmen G.
