Welcomed one and all we are back
Welcome it seems a long time since the Christmas break but we are back I will put up the new dance we did last night a waltz called Starting Tonight. It's a nice dance but a quick waltz I will put a link to it bellow.
So other than that it was a case of getting the brain switch back on. I'm sure they will bee lots of new dances through the next year and here at Country Roots we will show you what we have learnt.
Dances From 6.00PM Until 7.30
The class had been learning Knee Deep before the break. When playing Real Good Way turn the sound down as it's not English just do the steps this is the only version I can find.

As I said in the heading some of the older dances are really good I think there is a myth that the older dance aren't as good as new dances, but I don't think that is always the case, Lately Country Roots Rhyl has been revisiting older dances like Tumbling Rush, Two Bottles Of Beer, In-Vince-ible, on Monday night the class went over Bittersweet Memory, all these dances are really nice to dance, so lets not write these dances off just because their knee might be knocking, as someone remarked to me "Messed Up In Memphis is a dance that will be played at live venues for ever because of the solo guitar riffs in that song, the musicans can show case they skills." And now to things in we did in class
We Do Make A Difference
This is where we at Country Roots can help other people, learn new dances weather they are old or new. The first picture is a screen grab as I was look on you tube for the dance In-Vince- ible, and Country Roots is rated third from the top of the page in terms of intresting items.
This came up in a general search on you tube, the next picture is again a screen grab of a video we made in Country Roots Rhyl to help our beginners last year, and now it has been viewed over 6000 times which I think is a good result.
The Advanced class are still revisiting the older dances. But this is a new dance called Open The Box. This will be taught to the Improver's class eventually this is a dance 48 count Beginners /Improver dances by Gaye Teather that would fit a lot of live songs. As yet there isn't any videos out but I don't think it will be long before one is out. I have made a link to the dance sheet.

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
The class leaned a new dance last night as well as Two Bottles Of Beer ( see link above) which most of the members either hadn't done or couldn't remember, the new dance was Win, Lose or Draw. Choreographer:Karl-Harry Winson (UK) April 2015, Is a nice dance it flows really well when we know it well enough it has a nice ending to the dance.

Well after all the Bank holidays Country Roots Rhyl is back, we have had so much disruption due to bank holidays because the centre doesn't open on those days, and very year we have the same problem.
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.
The Advances class learned a new dance which is nice I think this is one of those dances that will grow on you it's called Play The Lotto by Diana Dawson 32 count Improver dance. The other is an old dance 2003, IN-VINC-IBLE Peter & Alison 64. count.4 wall.I have written in capitals because that's how it is on the dances sheet. there is only the one video of the dance that I can find, so it will do.

Hello fellow members Country Roots will hold a social night on the 27th of June. This will be held at the our community centre. This should be a really good night, the starting time is 7.00pm till 10.30pm. Due to the Bank Holidays and the centre being closed it has been a quite time. How ever that changed on Monday Night. The beginners when over Buffalo Tails with is very directional but they're get better. we also walked through some of the recent they have learnt such as Places Vertical Expression
Since starting the beginners class they have improved really well ,soon we will have to call them Improver's not beginners The Advance class were taught two new dances the first was called Truck Stop, the second was called Love Me Hate Me and we also walked through Girl Crush. So it was a busy night all round really.
The music to the two new dances are really nice, the dances will come like all new dances, it takes a while to really know the steps. Some of the other dance we did were Skip The Line I like the beat in this dance it really strong and keeps you in time. Another were Over Getting Over but still by a long way me favourite dance a the moment is One More Day it was a bit tricky to learn, but once you know the steps it's a beautiful dance.
