G'day

Hi, I'm K — your Melbourne line dancing instructor

I started Boot Scooting Society for one simple reason: line dancing is ridiculously fun, and everyone deserves a go — no cowboy pedigree required.

There's no snobbery here and no "left foot, right foot" panic. Just banging tracks, easy steps broken down with a laugh, and a room full of people who were nervous ten minutes ago and are beaming now. Come solo, drag your mates, or make it a date night.

Instructing is my passion. Nothing beats watching someone find the beat, nail their first dance and light right up — my whole goal is to help you love dancing as much as I do.

Line dancing's a super friendly community, so I dance with and for other crews too — you'll often find me instructing over at Footscray Moondog and Mollie's Bar & Diner.

Big love,

K

Where you'll find me dancing

Boot Scooting Society runs weekly and monthly sessions across Melbourne, and I travel for events right across Victoria. Every one of them is beginner-friendly — no partner, no experience, no worries.

  • Sunday Sessions — The City of Melbourne Bowls Club, Flagstaff Gardens, West Melbourne
  • Victorian Pride Centre, St Kilda — our winter pop-up, wrapping up Tue 8 September
  • Guest instructing — Mollie's Bar & Diner in Fitzroy, and Footscray Moondog
  • Regional Victoria — country halls and pubs, including Warrnambool

More than a weekly class

A good chunk of what I do happens away from the regular sessions. I bring beginner-friendly boot scootin' to corporate team days and conferences, hen's parties, milestone birthdays and private celebrations, festivals and community events, and country towns across Victoria — anywhere a room full of people could do with getting off their chairs.

I came to this from a corporate career, so I'm easy to brief and reliable on the day. I also deliver a leadership keynote, “Love Like a Leader”, which has featured at conferences including Leading the Product — and yes, you can book the talk for the morning and the boots for the afternoon.

Everyone on the floor

Boot Scooting Society is a women-owned, LGBTQIA+ friendly crew, and that isn't a footnote — it's the whole point. We dance in lines, not pairs, so nobody's left at the edge waiting to be picked. Rock up on your own and you'll fit right in.

You'll also find us out with No Borders No Judgement, our float group at the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
