Getting Our Members Ready

Margaret is always telling us that we should “Listen to the music”.... that   is to identify the beat and to understand why and where Restarts and Tags apply, also that dances can be “fitted” to other tracks and how a change of music can revamp old dances, also that the ability of doing this is an advantage when at social events. So with this in mind the improver’s class did some of the old favourite dances to alternative music, i.e.

Just for Grins we did to Alan Gregory’s Johnny Be Good.  Little Bluff which was choreographed to Tracy Byrd’s   “You Lied To Me”, was danced to “Don’t Tell Me What to Do” By Pam Tills and “Ribbon of Highway” to B R 49’s Devil’s Shadow.

This class also learned a new dance “Rio De Amor” (River Of Love) This is a new and easier dance to a John Arthur Martinez song River or Love....

Later the Intermediate class was ‘treated’ the original  dance  El Rio Amor choreographed  to the same track by  Peter Metelnick & Alison Biggs..and that was a whole new ball game!

Just Because A Dance Is Old?

Just Because A Dance Is Old?

Hello the headline of this weeks blog, just because a dance it's an old doesn't mean it's past the use by date. For the last couple of weeks Country Roots Rhyl have been look at the  old dances, some from the late 90's and  2000's, and some of these are really nice dances. So I think it's time we at on Country Roots Blog did some recycling with these older dances. The improver's have learnt You Little Bluff Robbie McGowan Hickie 2010 that's five years ago,I remember learning that when it was new, it's still a nice dance. going back further in time  Dangerous Curves  click here if you can't remember how it goes  We have been learning Nimby , Open Arms uploaded to you 2009, New Dreams , In-Vince-ible, 2003 a really nice dances. (see these dances below.) The point is they are really good dances and they get left behind and it's a shame that it's only when we have review nights they ever see the light of day.
