About Us
Who are we and what are we all about?
The Funky Sole Line Dance Club is run by award winning Line dance Instructor & International Choreographer Karl Harry Winson (D&G Qualified Line & Country dance Instructor) along with his team Donna and Jo. Based in the South of England and covering areas of Dorset such as Poole, Wimborne, Verwood, Ferndown and Bournemouth with classes also in Ringwood (Hampshire), Funky Sole caters to all ages and abilities and encourages anyone and everyone to give Modern Line Dance a try.
Line dancing is what it says it is, you dance in lines. It is a solo dance style in which you don't need a partner, just yourself and a pair of comfortable shoes and clothing. Over the past 30 years Line Dance has evolved massively and as a club we have also. We use different music genres such as Pop, Rock n' Roll and Irish (plus many more) but this doesn't mean to say we don't still love our Country music. We organise regular dance events, weekends away and local socials inviting International Choreographers to join us and award winning artists to perform for us. Beside our own events, we also take bookings for private functions, parties and weddings. If you would like us for your event please don't hesitate to get in touch.
See you on the dancefloor
