Are the dances becoming more tricky


Are The Dances Getting Harder

 

I think the answer to that is probably not, just different, I have see older dances from ten,or twenty years ago that look quite tricky, the reason is you have always had beginners, intermediates  and advance dances, even though a dance is old if you haven't done that dance then is a new dance to you.

The new dances coming out now are different because you could take the dances and do them on stage in some musical, because the way they are writing and Choreography of the dance is made more for stage and screen rather  than the classrooms up and down the country.
 Having said all that if we want to go on line-dancing we don't have a choice, we either move with the time or stay with Tush Push. I personally think you need to be very selective in the dances we do as a club, and the are some really good Country songs with good dances out there, we just have to look for them. We have a similar discussion a while ago that stirred lots of arguments both sides of the divide. Anyway as always let me know your thoughts which ever  side your on. 


The First new dance is The Song I love the music by Gary Barlow, the dance is OK lots of turns and diffrent steps but like nearly dances we will get the steps right and then the dance will be easier to do.

This one this nice lovely song  again lots of turns and timing is tricky but it's worth it when we get it !

We did another dance on Wednesday I personally am not sure so many turns and restarts it really make the head spin but I think it could be worth it in the end.

Monday Night We Worked Hard


Monday Night We Worked Hard

This is the Blog for Monday 4th Nov 2013. Well it was a cold night out there, the coldest night of the year around here this year. the turn out was good for a cold night and some members are away on holiday. We also had some new dances please see the link lower down this blog. 
I would like to talk about us humans for a bit we are still animal by nature and like to cuddle up to the fire when the weather turns cold. as I have just mentioned it we all came out on a cold night but I nearly stayed in ( I begin the website administrator) but I went and I enjoyed the night, it proved to me that we would all like to stay in doors when it's cold and hibernate, but if you push yourself you will find that you had a great time, I found the same when I did sports didn't fancy training but like it when I got there basically we are all a bit lazy on a cold night.





We was going to look at another dance but didn't have time to learn it, I think it worth look at it. I love the music so that helps because the dance  looks tricky but as yet I haven't dance it so Margaret will disagree I'm sure. Tell me what you think via comments on the website  or face book.



 Other dance we did were  That's Where I'll Be,Shoebox,  Silver Lining,  Long Time Gone, and many more click labels to find links.
