Kelda Piluke, director of CCDT, said the event offers a fun and welcoming environment for anyone interested in learning. 鈥淲e don鈥檛 do anything super complicated, it鈥檚 all beginner-level,鈥� she said. 鈥淚f you happen to go to a party and line dancing breaks out, you鈥檒l know what to do.鈥�
Piluke has been part of the team for over 15 years and has served as director for the past eight. She joined after the team鈥檚 founding in 2004, when it was originally based at Gabby鈥檚 Country Cabaret in 91原创. In 2019, the group relaunched independently as the Country Cuties Dance Team.
