DOUBLE DUTCH
TOGETHER AGAIN

The Double Dutch Duo of Josie and Vianne were recently reunited in New Zealand to celebrate Vianne's marriage to her "yankee cowboy". When asked what style this wedding was in, Vianne said "this is a Double Dutch wedding". It was not Dutch, not Kiwi, not American. It was truly "Double Dutch". A good time was had by all who attended. Click on the image on the right to view the pictures of this unique and special day :)

Now back to your regular viewing

Welcome to the New Zealand Line Dancing Home Page. These pages feature a number of New Zealand line dance instructors. The contents of the instructors' pages are entirely up to the instructor. If you are a line dance instructor in New Zealand and would like to be included in these pages, please e-mail Vianne at webmaster@nzld.net.nz and we'll get production of your page underway.
