Do We Need More Partner Dances

As the headline says do we need more partner dances in the classroom, I think it would be nice to do more of them. We nearly always dance on our own,the only partner dance we do is the barn dance ,but some years ago I was at Welshpool country festival and people were doing great partner dances. have  a look at these, I think these dances proves that point

The Beginner's Class

 The Beginners learned a new dance this week call Weak At The Knees as yet there  isn't a video out  so the link here is to the dance sheet.
 

    

I have put two Waltz Across Texas because the first one gives you a long walk-through and the other one in a good demo.

Back To Basic

Back To Basic

On Monday evenings some of the more advanced dancers go to class early to help the beginners   learn the dances, but this helps us as well. Because we all think we know the dances we have been doing for years. But when you go back to doing the walk-through with the beginners sometimes you realise that you have changed your version on that dance over the years. So helping the beginners is like going back  to school ,because we get a refresh in doing the dance correctly.

The Beginners Class

The beginners had two new dances this week The first is called Cheap Talk Choreographer: 

Gaye Teather (UK) Aug 2012 this is one of those dances toe heel toe kick coastal step. on both sides which is a step up in their dancing which there all copied well. the other is Fly Like A Dove

Choreographer: Tina Argyle (Aug 2014 See Links below.

The Advance Class

The class learned two new dances on Monday,the first was called Modern Romance

Choreographer: Kate Sala (Jan 2015) The dance is OK there is just an odd middle section which everyone struggle with. I will put the dance up along with the dance sheet and you make your own minds up. The other Dance called One More Day  Choreographer:  Julia Wetzel - Jan, 2015I love the music to this dance, but you need to count your way through the dance because the timing is tricky.
