When Are Old Dances New Dances

 

 When Are Old Dances New Dances

The thought came to me last night when we were doing dances from 18 to 20 years old, and while the veterans of the line dancing club remembered them after a while, spare a thought for the other people that have been dancing for about 5 years. I have done some of the older dances, but the ones we did last night I have never heard of, I and other members hadn't even heard the music before so to us they were all new dances. You can a have good dance live on for years, as new people come into line dancing they start with the older beginners dances, like Ribbon of highway, Cowgirl Twist, cowboy charleston may be some newer beginner dances, but the point is we all have to learn the dances and just because the dance is 18 years old is doesn't mean there not any good, a dance I hadn't heard of until last year was T Bone Shuffle I'm not when it came out but I heard this music and people started to dance to the music, I asked someone about the dance and I told told it's be out for ages but to me I had to learn that dance on that night as something completely new and why if you go to a line dance club there is always something you can learn.

Our International Blog

Our International Blog

Country Roots Line Dance Blog has been in existence since 11th of July 2013 and we have a truly international web site the first picture you see are the statistics for our web site for the month things such as how many page reviews who looked at them and where from the results are quiet amazing in the short amount of time we have been live on the internet.

As you can see people from all over Europe, North America the United States, but also Indonesia. Remember this is just 0ne month.

The next pictures you will see is how many people have look at our web site since we started it.

We have had over  three thousand three hundred page reviews so you see we are make a diffrence and people are taking notice of what we are doing.

Going For A Night Out

Some of our members went for a Saturday night at Connah’s Quay. Artist was  Nigel Slater There were a few problems with the sound system, but that was soon sorted and a good night was had by all.

Good to see so many supporting Alf Roberts daughter  Heather Berry as she has recently lost her father to a sudden illness .This are some of the picture they took.

Monday Dance night On monday we did two new dances both beginner dances one I really liked call Baby Kisses the other one was called Fall In Love I'm not sure about that one but it might grow on me? any way the links are below. Baby Kisses Dance Sheet Fall in Love Dance Sheet I am always surprised when we go over older dances on review nights or like last night just playing the dances we haven't done for a while because, and you might not remember the dance at the start but you do remember the dance before the end, and this is true for hundreds of dances. But Margaret Gough the Dance instructor and owner much have stored thousands of dances in her head. Here are some of the other dances we did. Hotel Angel | Cha Lay Low | Dixie Road | Blue Blue Day | Come As You Are | One Shot | Joyride | Wingman | and many other too many to mention them all well that's all for this blog I hope it has been interesting for you.

Marmite Dances

Marmite Dances

Hands up how many of us have dances dance's that you don't really like, I called them Marmite Dances. but still we do them why? I don't know may  be you think it will grow on you , and sometimes it does. And sometimes the dance never grows on you and you just go through the motions for three minutes and then move on.

I think this latest Marmite dance is Fly High by  Maggie Gallagher I truely don't know if I like this or not? the dance does flow naturally like That's where I'll Be   or A little Bit Gypsy for instance, but there is something I think I  like if I dance it enough times I Country Roots other people are not sure either, but time will tell.

The Problems of Writing a blog ?

The Problems of Writing a blog?

I used the headline for this blog because I have source the internet for the latest dances we are doing and I must say I like most them ,which help when you like the music the dance stays in your head easier. but back to why I used that headline, I when on Copperknob looking for the dances sheet for Come As You Are and the picture tells its on story

Why have so many dances with the same name as the Webmaster for  Country Roots it's important to publish the correct dance sheet for the dance we do so when they are 5 dances with the same name it just make my task a little bit harder.

 

 This week we have some lovely dances so I'll start at the top Blue Blue Day an easy dance with a happy tune 

Blue Blue Day

Come As You are  I love this music the base is strong the beat goes really nicely to the dance this dance could be around for a while.

Come As You Are

The dance Hard To Be A Hippie is just a run of the mill Beginner/ Improver dance personally I think this will disappear soon and only remembered rarely but just for you here it is.
