When Are Old Dances New Dances

 

 When Are Old Dances New Dances

The thought came to me last night when we were doing dances from 18 to 20 years old, and while the veterans of the line dancing club remembered them after a while, spare a thought for the other people that have been dancing for about 5 years. I have done some of the older dances, but the ones we did last night I have never heard of, I and other members hadn't even heard the music before so to us they were all new dances. You can a have good dance live on for years, as new people come into line dancing they start with the older beginners dances, like Ribbon of highway, Cowgirl Twist, cowboy charleston may be some newer beginner dances, but the point is we all have to learn the dances and just because the dance is 18 years old is doesn't mean there not any good, a dance I hadn't heard of until last year was T Bone Shuffle I'm not when it came out but I heard this music and people started to dance to the music, I asked someone about the dance and I told told it's be out for ages but to me I had to learn that dance on that night as something completely new and why if you go to a line dance club there is always something you can learn.

Our International Blog

Our International Blog

Country Roots Line Dance Blog has been in existence since 11th of July 2013 and we have a truly international web site the first picture you see are the statistics for our web site for the month things such as how many page reviews who looked at them and where from the results are quiet amazing in the short amount of time we have been live on the internet.

As you can see people from all over Europe, North America the United States, but also Indonesia. Remember this is just 0ne month.

The next pictures you will see is how many people have look at our web site since we started it.

We have had over  three thousand three hundred page reviews so you see we are make a diffrence and people are taking notice of what we are doing.

Going For A Night Out

Some of our members went for a Saturday night at Connah’s Quay. Artist was  Nigel Slater There were a few problems with the sound system, but that was soon sorted and a good night was had by all.

Good to see so many supporting Alf Roberts daughter  Heather Berry as she has recently lost her father to a sudden illness .This are some of the picture they took.

Monday Dance night On monday we did two new dances both beginner dances one I really liked call Baby Kisses the other one was called Fall In Love I'm not sure about that one but it might grow on me? any way the links are below. Baby Kisses Dance Sheet Fall in Love Dance Sheet I am always surprised when we go over older dances on review nights or like last night just playing the dances we haven't done for a while because, and you might not remember the dance at the start but you do remember the dance before the end, and this is true for hundreds of dances. But Margaret Gough the Dance instructor and owner much have stored thousands of dances in her head. Here are some of the other dances we did. Hotel Angel | Cha Lay Low | Dixie Road | Blue Blue Day | Come As You Are | One Shot | Joyride | Wingman | and many other too many to mention them all well that's all for this blog I hope it has been interesting for you.

Afternoon Out With Friends

Afternoon Out With Friends

This is the outing with the Wednesday members of Country roots Rhyl we had a meal in The Bells of St Mary's Just outside Prestatyn North Wales. The meal was really nice we had lots of laughs telling jokes not rude as they were out of crackers, I think the picture speak for themselves. 

 

The Other Thing Is The List

 

I was speaking with Margaret our instructor this week and she has asked me to put a list of some of the dances we have done over the last 12 months or so. I was looking through my YouTube folders because I have my YouTube set up into Learn Now, Like, Not Sure, folders. And there were dances I had forgotten we had done, so See the list in the next post straight after this one.If you have any of your own please put them in the comments under the post.
I will try to put links to the dances on our Blog site to the walk-through's but I can't do them all but I will make a very short walk-through video showing how to copy a dance name and paste it into YouTube search box to come up with the dance you need.

Learning by video

New Ways To Learn

Hello we had our normal Monday night meeting 15th of July, we learnt two new dances, the first was Cha Lay Low by Rep Ghazali-Meaney music Lay Low by Blake Shelton .A beginner's dance, just a tricky restart you feel you should be going forward but you have to restart going backward. Cha Lay Low click to see new dances

The second dance That Girl by Tina Argyle the music that Girl’ by Kevin Fowler. The dance is nice but tricky the timing and the intro are the things you need to work that.That Girl click to see new dances

Do you think learning theses dances from a YouTube walk-through is wrong or just the new way. Is it the end for the dance script you can contact me and I will put your replies on the blog.
