Some Old Dance Are Great

Some Old Dance Are Great

As I said in the heading some of the older dances are really good I think there is a myth that the older dance aren't as good as new dances, but I don't think that is always the case, Lately Country Roots Rhyl has been revisiting older dances like Tumbling Rush, Two Bottles Of Beer, In-Vince-ible, on Monday night the class went over Bittersweet Memory, all these dances are really nice to dance, so lets not write these dances off just because their knee might be knocking, as someone remarked to me "Messed Up In Memphis is a dance that will be played at live venues for ever because of the solo guitar riffs in that song, the musicans can show case they skills." And now to things in we did in class

We Do Make A Difference

This is where we at Country Roots can help other people, learn new dances weather they are old or new. The first picture is a screen grab as I was look on you tube for the dance In-Vince- ible, and Country Roots is rated third from the top of the page in terms of intresting items.

This came up in a general search on you tube, the next picture is again a screen grab of a video we made in Country Roots  Rhyl to help our beginners last year, and now it has been viewed over 6000 times which I think is a good result.

The Advanced Class

The Advanced class are still revisiting the older dances. But this is a new dance called Open The Box. This will be taught to the Improver's class eventually this is a dance 48 count Beginners /Improver dances by Gaye Teather that would fit a lot of live songs. As yet there isn't any videos out  but I don't think it will be long before one is out. I have made a link to the dance sheet.

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 Improver's Class 

The class had a revision night going over the recent dances they have learned

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.
