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 

        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.

| Memphis Love | Tush Push | Haunted Heart |  Cheap Talk | Fly Like A Dove  | Waltz Across Texas | Shadowlands |Back And Forth | Sea Cruise | Piano Man | Something In The Water | Lonesome Me | Butterfly Waltz

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 |

Monday Night Lessons

Monday Night Lessons

 Welcome to Country Roots Blog, where do I start. Well some night you get an easy nights when you know most of the dances, nice no stress. And then there are the nights where there are new dances. 

And some that aren't  too bad, and some were absolutely horrible.the dances that were OK are.

Dream Lover  fairly straight forward should soon get the hang of that. and This Is Me   again no real surprises nice dance.

No Man's Land is a  lovely  dance  hard to master, the timing is tricky there are some odd turns, along with restarts and tags, having say all that when we get to grips with the dance and we will, because the class has had many tricky through the years and this is just another one.

No Man's Land

Dance Sheet

Well I personally do no what to make of the dance Driven see links below it's quick quirky but I like it, 84 counts seems a lot  but some of the beats are doubled up so you use up a lot of the count quickly. again the bridges are odd but you will get around that I personally like Robbie's dances.
