My name is Ellen Thorne. I was born in Ohio, but as a pastor and a church musician's daughter, we moved about every 8 years. I have lived in Wisconsin, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Tennessee. Since 1992 I have lived in Texas. I have line danced on and off since the late 80s. I taught briefly in the 90s and now I teach weekly. My heart finds great joy in teaching absolute beginners. I also thoroughly enjoy choreographing dances using music that brings joy to the soul. 

​

My husband Chuck was born in Newfoundland. He has lived all over the world as an Air Force brat, including Germany, Japan, and throughout the midwest. He has been in Texas since 1974. He took awhile to become a line dancer but in 2020 he was coerced into trying it. Now, he is as passionate as I am. He is a great partner for Love on the Line and the inspiration for Chuck's Corner.

​

We married in 1997 and have lived in Allen, Texas since 1998. 

​

Now, we love to travel the world and with every step, we share love on the line. We hope our steps cross soon and often!
