New Beginner Class Success

New Beginner Class Success

The response  to the new beginner's class has been encouraging and  the videos which  we have made and posted on our   Facebook  page and our blog www.countryrootslinedance.co.uk will  hopefully help them  to practice the dances and also help them to  understanding  the terminology,  the importance timing also the understanding  and reasons for tags and restarts.
   We are getting people walking into the centre and asking can they join the beginners class because someone else told them about us which is great. As I said in the last blog very club needs new members and maybe not all will say but we should have enough to ensure the clubs  continue!

New Dances This

We did a dance call Piano Man by Robbie McGowen Hickie I love this dance it has a rock & roll beat bit like the dance My New Life no restarts just dance through to the end. As for Farewell To Nova I don't think Margaret was serious about doing this dance it was just to highlight it. You can give your thoughts either on the blog, Facebook Country Roots Line Dance Club and also on Twitter @countryrootrhyl your feedback is important to us.

New Beginners Class

New Beginners Class

Margaret Gough the owner and Line Dance instructor has started a beginners class at the club on a Monday night from 6.00 PM till 7.30 PM and this week we have been busy making the basic walk-through video for the beginner dances ( see all the dances below) I believe it will really help. Last Monday I was reminded of how line dancing looks so easy to people that  haven't yet tried it. But they have a shock  when they come and try it for the first time, I can remember my learning curve, I didn't know if I was coming or going. But then you start remembering the dances, and you get through the dance without going wrong  is a good feeling.

All Line Dancing Clubs needs new people to join, without younger members in our clubs the clubs can't survive, I enjoy helping new members because as I said a few lines back I still remember what I felt like walking into Margaret's club not knowing anybody, but the members where helpful, I was put in the middle of a line so which ever way I turn I could follow somebody. To anybody that has just started Line Dancing or is thinking about starting, just stick with it you will have a steep learning curve but in a short while it gets better. As  Margaret  says “It is a little like learning to drive a car, at first it seems so difficult, but the more you practice the sooner it all comes together..and the easier it becomes” and yes we have all been there...  Now here are the beginner dances

Other Dances We Did This Week

We did a dance called Holding Back The Ocean by Peter  Metelnick and Alison Biggs  this came out 2006. This dance passed me by, and it's not an easy dance to do but I love the music and that always helps. Have a look at the dance and here is a link to get [Dance Sheet ] the dance will bellow

 

Take Me Away  I like this dance and the song  see Dance Sheet here the is still a problem with these choreographers and their lack of imagination when naming dances as the picture shows

I rest my case . On Monday night the whole class work really hard remembering old dances and learning new ones, here are some of the other dances we did This is me No Man's Land Remember When High Cotton and many more Thank you for read our Blog this week.
