Ms. Barn Diva Lynn
Lynn is from Queens, New York and started country line dancing in 2001 in Orlando, FL and just loves it! So much so that she got familiar with the UCWDC dancing circuit.
Her first competition was on a team called “The Peeps” and the contest was held at The Barn in Sanford, FL in May of 2003. They won the contest! Then in November of 2003, She joined the team “The Barnstormers” and entered in a team competition at the Sunshine State Dance Competition in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. They took 1st place!
In February of 2005, at the Florida Dance Stampede, Lynn entered into the Pro-Am competiton with 2 of her favorite instructors at the time she was taking lessons. She received the awards of Gold and Gold with honors!
Lynn went on to start choreographing her own dances as well collaborated with other instructors & line dancers. In 2006, again at the Florida Dance Stampede, she entered and danced 2 of her collaborated choreographed line dances of which she took 2nd place (Sexy Badonkadonk and 5th place (Shut Up and Dance). Lynn’s other favorite event was dancing at the half time show at a UCF football game in 2006 with a team of line dancers. She has taught at many events over the years, namely, Diamonds & Denim for the grand opening of Rt. 46 in 2008 (Being introduced by WESH TV’S Amy Sweezey!), Several Alive after Five events in Sanford, FL, on two line dance cruises, high school events, several private ‘hoe down parties’, a black tie event for Habitat for Humanity, a girl scout event, teaching line dances with many Band gigs around Central Florida as well as workshops like The Space Coast Blast and Gonna make U Dance.
Lynn has since been asked to be an instructor at The Barn in Sanford in 2008 and is currently teaching classes there on Wednesday and Friday nights. She also attends many classes & workshops to bring the fun, current dances to her classes. She has a bubbly, positive, warm and friendly personality, and her clever sense of humor keeps people laughing while she incorporates good technique along with the steps to make her lessons fun, comfortable, and informative. If you have the chance to watch Lynn in open dance, you’ll see a talented personality on the floor, as she is as entertaining to watch as she is to learn from.
Lynn says: “Line dancing is great exercise, lots of fun and a fantastic stress reliever!! And you meet wonderful people! I would love to share my knowledge and experience with you!”
