More Back To The Future

More Back To The Future

Hello once again in this week’s blog we are looking back at some of the older dances. Dances like Two Bottle Of Beer, it was released 2005, there isn't a video to this dance so I have made a link to the dance sheet. In terms of line dances, ten years is a long time ago. If you look at the amounts of new dances, that are released every week. The last time I checked about 40 new dances are put out every week, not all of them see the light of day, and some don't last very long even if they are spotted. But you do get some dances that stay the distances, and become classics such as Cowboy Charleston, Cowgirl Twist, Islands in the Streams, Vertical Expressions, and so on. The older dances were helped to become established because there weren't as many dances being released in a week as there are now. Which in one way was good, because you got to know the dances really well? Now with so many dances flooding the Internet every week, dances come and go before you really have time to learn them properly. I'm not staying new dances can't stand the test of time and still be remembered in ten years from now. I am staying I think it will be much harder for any dance to become a classic in the new age of line dancing.  

           The Improver's Class 

The class had a revision night going over the recent dances they have learned

         

Cowboy Charleston | Little Bluff |Waltz Across Texas | Islands In The Stream  | Buffalo Tales | Red Molly| Places | Vertical Expression | Memphis Love | Cheap Talk | Waltz Across Texas | Back And Forth | | Something In The Water |Butterfly Waltz

Just Because A Dance Is Old?

Just Because A Dance Is Old?

Hello the headline of this weeks blog, just because a dance it's an old doesn't mean it's past the use by date. For the last couple of weeks Country Roots Rhyl have been look at the  old dances, some from the late 90's and  2000's, and some of these are really nice dances. So I think it's time we at on Country Roots Blog did some recycling with these older dances. The improver's have learnt You Little Bluff Robbie McGowan Hickie 2010 that's five years ago,I remember learning that when it was new, it's still a nice dance. going back further in time  Dangerous Curves  click here if you can't remember how it goes  We have been learning Nimby , Open Arms uploaded to you 2009, New Dreams , In-Vince-ible, 2003 a really nice dances. (see these dances below.) The point is they are really good dances and they get left behind and it's a shame that it's only when we have review nights they ever see the light of day.

But never mind were are back and we're doing some new dances and some old dances that we have forgotten about.

They is also a change in the way Country Roots Rhyl will write about the beginners because this will just about be the last time it will be used, because the people that have stay the course aren't beginners now they're Improver's, they have been dancing for 8 months, and stay at least until the half time break. 

The  Improver's Class

As well as going through the recent dances like Buffalo Tails, Places, and Vertical Expression and now Islands In The Stream the dance is listed as an Improver dance so the level is just right.
