The Lost Art Of Reading a Dance Sheet.
Hello I was thinking back to when I started Line Dancing the only way to learn a dance was the dance sheet where you went through the steps and then put the dance together that way. But now we have YouTube with dance troops giving us all these walk-through's of the latest dances, which is great I uses them all the time, and have lost the knack of read dance sheet, I can do a dance from the sheet but I find it easier to which the dance on YouTube. But last week week the wheels came of the bus because Margaret did two new dances which didn't have any videos of the dance so it was back to the dance sheet. And this taught me a valuable lesson to keep the skills of the past as well as using the new media that has come along in recent times.
The Beginner's Class
The Beginners are coming along really well every week they learn something new this week it was Black Coffee which to a sessoned veteron will be easy but when the dance is new to you it is hard to take in. But the class did well they had the walk-through , we did the dance to the original music and then to a faster sound track, last week they were taught Tush Push, Wheels & Roses, along with a Simple Waltz , in the 8 weeks since this class has been running they have had a very speep leaning curve see below some of this weeks beginner's dances.
The Advanced Class
The advance class had a revision night going over recent dances such as Down To The River this is a tricky dance lots of weight changes may be when we get the steps the dance grow on me in particular. The other dance that is a bit quriky is Crazy Lady see below for walk-throughs. The other dances we have been doing for a while. That last there is a video for Shadowlands ( see list below ) I will put a link to the dance sheet below the dances.
