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

7.30 PM Till 10 PM

I can't find a link to the harder version of Rio De Amor as yet but I will try for next time
I am having trouble with copperknob every time I go on they I get swapped with adds I have email the site and said I will look for another site that has dance sheets. So just be aware when going on that site.
