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.

I Have A Question?

I Have A Question?

The question is how many dances can you do without having a walk-through it's more than you think it is. I found this out the last time Country Roots Rhyl had a social night. We did dances for 2 year maybe longer and if at the time you like the dance it does stay in the memory banks. Even if it takes 2 walls to sort your feet out. I returned to Line Dancing 6 years ago and I couldn't tell you how many I could do be until I heard the music and then work out the step. of our social night I only sit out a few time so that was pretty good, But Dance Instructors they have a skill to remember dances from 10, or 20 years ago, which is really amazing.

The Beginners Class

The Beginners Class is the same as last week to make sure they understands the new dances they are doing. 

        

Cowboy Charleston | How Long | Butterfly Waltz | Cowboy Strut | Western Barn Dance | Baby Kisses | Piano Man | Ribbon Of Highway 

Advance Class

The Advance Class have also been doing the same dances as last week mainly because we have had a lot of new dances and we just need some more practice We have got one new dance called New Shade Of Blue By Yvonne Anderson nice dance it flows really nicely.

Starting From Scratch

Starting From Scratch

We had three new beginners started on Monday night and it just reinforces the fact that when you start out learning how to line dance you will find it really hard people that have line dance for a long time take in for granted that the steps are the same they're just in a different order so when you get the step in the right order you have the dance beat. When you are an absolute beginner you have to learn the steps and then the dance. much much harder and we all tend to forget this when a beginner start in class.  This is why I and other members of class do our best to point the right way show them step show them not to take big steps which is and common thing when learning, but evenully they do improve and three months in they will be much better.

Beginners Class

Because we had some new beginners in class we went back to basics Cowboy Charleston  Elvira , Ribbon of highway and alike so here are just a few of the dance  Charleston The dance you see here the music may be different but the step are the same.

        

Cowboy Charleston | How Long | Waltz Mexican Wind | Cowboy Strut | Western Barn Dance | Baby Kisses | Piano Man | Ribbon Of Highway

Advances Class

We did a new dance on Monday night Rock & Roll King. Nice dance lovely rock and roll music we also had another go at Hard Work with a better result this time I think the more we did it the better it will be.
