Getting Our Members Ready

Margaret is always telling us that we should “Listen to the music”.... that   is to identify the beat and to understand why and where Restarts and Tags apply, also that dances can be “fitted” to other tracks and how a change of music can revamp old dances, also that the ability of doing this is an advantage when at social events. So with this in mind the improver’s class did some of the old favourite dances to alternative music, i.e.

Just for Grins we did to Alan Gregory’s Johnny Be Good.  Little Bluff which was choreographed to Tracy Byrd’s   “You Lied To Me”, was danced to “Don’t Tell Me What to Do” By Pam Tills and “Ribbon of Highway” to B R 49’s Devil’s Shadow.

This class also learned a new dance “Rio De Amor” (River Of Love) This is a new and easier dance to a John Arthur Martinez song River or Love....

Later the Intermediate class was ‘treated’ the original  dance  El Rio Amor choreographed  to the same track by  Peter Metelnick & Alison Biggs..and that was a whole new ball game!

From 6PM to 7.30MP

Big Scare Just Now

Big Scare Just Now

Hello as the Editor of this blog I login all the time, to up load the dances and to write editorial. So you can imagine my shock and horror when I logged on  and saw all the pages that has every been uploaded and the whole site was gone. For a moment I couldn't think what had gone wrong, then I realized I hadn't sign into the Country Roots Account. Phew panic over but it has brought something to talk about. If you lost all of your Digital on line presence, how much would you loose? If country Roots was lost, it would be three years of reference to dances lost that bad, but in the system of things I could  rewrite the pages. Not that I would like to do that. 

But some people store they whole life on-line,documents, pictures, everything that tells us what their are, could be lost in the clouds, or more likely a giant sever in another country. That wouldn't care if your digital life was wiped out. So, as much as it is a pain in the rear end, you should have paper or hard copy's  of all the thing you couldn't imagine loosing and never getting back.

The Improver's Class

That the moment the improver's are doing a lovely little dance call Open The  Box  There isn't anyone with a walk-through yet I might have a work with Margaret Gough and see if the class can make a video of this dance. 

Other dances were It's High Time, Is It Me, see bellow for dances, another nice dance is I. C. ME  I love the words to the song.( just make sure you hear the restarts.)
