The Class of 2021 is back


 Hello And Welcome 
The Class of 2021 is back

Hi everyone Country Roots is starting up again. we now have full classes, and no one has to be left out now. It feels good to be somewhere near normal but we are not there yet. So we are starting with the older dances, just to get our line dance brain in gear. So I have listed some of the dances we did this week.

Improves Class 6.00 Till 7.30 PM

More Back To The Future


More Back To The Future

Hello once again in this week’s blog we are looking back at some of the older dances. Dances like Two Bottle Of Beer, it was released 2005, there isn't a video to this dance so I have made a link to the dance sheet. In terms of line dances, ten years is a long time ago. If you look at the amounts of new dances, that are released every week. The last time I checked about 40 new dances are put out every week, not all of them see the light of day, and some don't last very long even if they are spotted. But you do get some dances that stay the distances, and become classics such as Cowboy Charleston, Cowgirl Twist, Islands in the Streams, Vertical Expressions, and so on. The older dances were helped to become established because there weren't as many dances being released in a week as there are now. Which in one way was good, because you got to know the dances really well? Now with so many dances flooding the Internet every week, dances come and go before you really have time to learn them properly. I'm not staying new dances can't stand the test of time and still be remembered in ten years from now. I am staying I think it will be much harder for any dance to become a classic in the new age of line dancing.

The Advanced Class

The class leaned a new dance last night as well as Two Bottles Of Beer ( see link above) which most of the members either hadn't done or couldn't remember, the new dance was Win, Lose or Draw.          Choreographer: Karl-Harry Winson (UK) April 2015, Is a nice dance it flows really well when we know it well enough it has a nice ending to the dance.

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.

Social Night At Country Roots

Social Night At Country Roots

Hello fellow members  Country Roots will hold a social night on the 27th of June. This will be held at the our community centre. This should be a really good night, the starting time is 7.00pm till 10.30pm. Due to the Bank Holidays and the centre being closed it has been a quite time. How ever that changed on Monday Night. The beginners when over Buffalo Tails with is very directional but they're get better. we also walked through some of the recent they have learnt such as Places  Vertical Expression
Since starting the beginners class they have improved really well ,soon we will have to call them Improver's not beginners The Advance class were taught two new dances the first was called Truck Stop, the second was called Love Me Hate Me and  we also walked through Girl Crush. So it was a busy night all round really.

The Beginners Class


     

| Buffalo Tales | Red Molly| Places | Vertical Expression | Memphis Love | Cheap Talk | Waltz Across Texas | Back And Forth | Sea Cruise | Piano Man | Something In The Water |










The Advance Class

The music to the two new dances are really nice, the dances will come like all new dances, it takes a while to really know the steps. Some of the other dance we did were  Skip The Line I like the beat in this dance it really strong and keeps you in time. Another were Over Getting Over but still by a long way me favourite dance a the moment is One More Day it was a bit tricky to learn, but once you know the steps it's a beautiful dance.

             

Love Me Hate Me| Truck Stop | Skip The Line | Walk With Me | Rock &Roll | Heavenly Cha | Hard Work | Mile Shy Of ParadiseMorning Sun And Memories | Rock & Roll King | Slat & Lime | New Shade Of Blue | Modern Romance | One More Day | Homegrown |
