In 2000, having qualified as a teacher, Julie was asked to open a class in Woodley with Stephanie's help. In April 2001 Julie and Stephanie were given the opportunity to take over the class and Steps 'n' Stetsons was born. Nine months later, we opened another class in Sonning.
In 2002, we both did the BWDA teacher training - we both keep up to date with dance and safety workshops whenever we can.
In June 2006 we moved the Woodley class to Sonning and extended the joint class to 3 hours.
In April 2007 Steps 'n' Stetsons were proud to have been asked to take over the running of Just for Kicks in Lower Earley under their own name. This added a Tuesday morning class and a Wednesday evening class.
Julie also teaches a Friday morning class in Wokingham for another club to which any members are welcome.
With the larger club, we try to run Line Dance Weekends a couple of times a year as well as socials 4 times a year. Over the past couple of years we have also enjoyed non-line dancing weekends including a theatre break in London and a murder mystery break in Stratford upon Avon. Over the years our members have helped us raise money for a variety of different charities.
