The Beginners Class

The beginner's learned a new dance this week called Memphis Love it's a nice beginner/improver dance you either walk in the dance or you can do a full turn the choice is up to the dancer.There is a demo of the dance but no walk-through. the other dance they revisited was Tush Push

        After a lot of searching I have found a demo of the Butterfly Waltz it's not in English but the steps are there so it really doesn't matter.

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.

| Memphis Love | Tush Push | Haunted Heart |  Cheap Talk | Fly Like A Dove  | Waltz Across Texas | Shadowlands |Back And Forth | Sea Cruise | Piano Man | Something In The Water | Lonesome Me | Butterfly Waltz

  

The Advance Class

 We did a nice little Rock & Roll I just happen to like dance that are set to rock and roll and this isn't that hard to learn. The other dance we have been doing but I forgot to put it  but better late than never it;s called Walk With Me I would say it easy but once you have learned it you will like it.

CHERNOBYL CHILDREN'S LIFELINE NORTH WALES

LINE DANCE FUNDRAISER - 10TH APRIL - 7.30PM
MASONIC HALL, MELIDEN LL19 8LA How this annual line dance began! Way back in 2003 I asked Margaret if she would help me to raise the money needed to bring two little girls from Belarus here to Prestatyn in North Wales.

When Margaret met the children and learned more of their story she decided that she wanted to do a fund-raising event each year. She thought that an annual line dance for the charity was the ideal answer to achieve her goal of bringing 2 children over for a month every year. The line dancing club, Country Roots, started by Margaret and her late husband Brian were all in favour of helping and so their story began.
Since those first two little girls Margaret and Country Roots have held their annual fundraising dance and also several other sponsored line dances. With all their hard work and dedication they have raised over £13,000, this means that 22 children from Belarus and now Northern Ukraine, have benefited by staying here in North Wales for four weeks each year since 2003.
Come and join us for a great evening there will be” taster” sessions for anyone willing to give it a go
If you do join in they promise not to be too hard on you !!!
And for those of you who might need a bit of Dutch courage there is a bar at the Masonic Hall.

 BEGINNER'S CLASS

The Beginners class learned a new dance at least it was for them call Haunted Heart I know it an old dance for the old hands but for the beginners that have only been dancing for three to four months it's new.

       After a lot of searching I have found a demo of the Butterfly Waltz it's not in English but the steps are there so it really doesn't matter.

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.

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
.  Tell what you think. either  via countryrootslineance@gmail.com or Country Roots Line Dance on Facebook.
