Some Old Dance Are Great

Some Old Dance Are Great

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

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.

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.

The Advance Class

The Advance class have been learning two new dances this week the first is lovely the music is to die for and the dance just flows. it's called Heavenly Cha the other one is called There's The Door! and you will need to write the whole thing as it is here.This dance is OK but I don't like the music so that puts me off a bit see what you think.
