Meet your instructor:

Hi, I’m Krystal LaRose - Owner and instructor of Better in Boots Line Dancing, proudly established in 2015. My love for line dancing began when I was nearly six years old, and it’s been a major part of my life ever since. One of the first dances I ever learned was California Coast, which I even performed in my 6th grade talent show, little did I know that moment would spark a lifelong passion and eventually lead to my own line dancing business!

Over the years, I’ve had the joy of teaching in Addison County, and now my classes reach across Northern and Central Vermont. While I enjoy learning and sharing the latest choreography, 90’s country line dancing will always have my heart. I love blending the new with the nostalgic, and you’ll often find me bringing back some classic favorites to the dance floor.
