About Sun City Line Dance Club
Early Club Days
In 2016 SUN LIFE Magazine interviewed Walter Christenson, our former SCLDC Board President, about our Sun City Line Dance Club and the history of the club. According to the article the club did not start out as a club but as a dance. Joe Virellie was hired by the Rec Center as the instructor.
Around 1996 the the Sun City Line Dance Club became a chartered club in Sun City. Joe Virellie then became the first line dance instructor for our chartered Sun City Line Dance Club. When Joe retired, our club hired Janet Wallace as line dance instructor. She was instructor until her retirement in December 2023. Joe Virellie is fifth from left of photo in the red shirt.
