So Many Dances Lost?


So Many Dances Lost?

I have been unwell for about a month or may be six weeks, I couldn't go to dance class, I thought that's OK I can catch up when I come back. Let me tell if anyone has 4 weeks off from line dancing they will struggle to catch up with the dances they have missed.

Most of all Ria Vos

Eighteen Lonely months Rep Ghazali- Meaney

Loving you in Mexico wil Bos

North of Heaven Benny Ray

Love is Alive Gaye Teather
I will have my work cut out over the next few weeks trying to learn these dances and new ones that come out each week.We have had this discussion before on this blog I know, but this highlights just how crazy the line dance seen really is, links to the dances will be lower down the page.


What is all this about are the choreographers so brain dead they can't find another title this sort of thing drives me mad what is wrong with giving it a slightly different name?

Talking of new dance's 

Margaret Gough the owner and our instructor for the club has created her own dance called         Drunk At The Time  it's a nice country western song to go with it, The Last Cowboy by Toby Keith.
now we need to promote it I want all our members to download it from Yippe. when it goes live I will tell you, and as more and more website look at this dance it could do really well. Please see first link YouTube below.
