Back To Work

Back To Work

Hello Country Roots are back. we have had a break over Easter but now we were back to work. I think everyone was a bit ring rusty. but by the end of the night we all have our dancing heads in gear. The beginners learnt a new dance ( well I say new) Vertical Expression but to them I was new. And doing the research for this blog there are lots of versions 

There isn't a walk through so I have slowed down version of the dance with the steps in writing above. I will embed the video to help the beginner's

The Advance Class did a new dance called  South Australia it went down like a lead balloon the song is by Nathan Carter the song gets quicker and quicker to the point you can't move your feet quickly enough. I don't know if it will catch on , time will tell. see video below.

The beginners Class

       
 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.

Welcome to Country Roots Revision Night

Welcome to Country Roots Revision Night

In our club this week we have a revision night these nights are important because they help you consolidate the dances we are taught as there are so many new dances coming out each week that it's good to go over them. there might have been a dance you miss in class thought holidays, or illness, maybe there's one dance you just get so another walk-though really helps.

The problems of running a Line dance website

With an ever increasing amount of dances being released each week naming the dances is becoming a real problem have a look at the picture and you will see what I mean.

Last week Margaret Gough revisited this dance it's an old dances I haven't done this dance before and I real like this dance. I looked the dance up to put it on the blog page and this is what I found on Copperknob  I think Choreographers should think more about the names of the dances they make because once a dance is named it out they for ever.

The Beginners Class 

I can see a big chance in the beginner's that started when the class was formed some of them stay until the half time in the Intermediate class which is great, every club needs new members coming through at every level other wise the club will die out as the original members are not there any more. Here are some of the dances the beginners did this week

The Advance Class

The Advance class are doing some great dances at the moment in that section of the night. Dances like  One More Day it has been hard  work to get the timing but we have now, it it's just a wonderful dance. when you do the dance and you do it well, you feel good within yourself,other dances are  Hard Work and Eternal Secret , Don't Close  Your Eyes. all these are  really nice dances  Home Grown is also nice but for some reason people are struggling a bit with is dance but that is what dancing is all about learning new dances, that's the reason we go out on cold winter nights because we love dancing. Here are some of the dances we did.

            

Don't Close Your Eyes | Walk With Me | Rock &Roll | There's The Door!| Heavenly Cha | Hard Work | Mile Shy Of Paradise |  Morning Sun And Memories | Rock & Roll King | Slat & Lime | New Shade Of Blue | Modern Romance | One More Day |Till It's Gone | Eternal Secret  | Homegrown |

 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.
