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.

Review Night

This week we had a review night for both beginners and advances dance alike. Mainly because the are so many new dances coming out every week, that we need a review night now and again. It give you the opportunity to relearn the dances that you are struggling with. It also help to relearn dances and maybe learn dances that you miss the first time around.
This this really helpful for the beginners as they can struggle to learn a dance but maybe don't like to ask.

Partner Dancing

In our Wednesday class we did a Partner Dance the one we did was Corn Don't Grow.
now I had never done a partner dance so it was interesting, and much harder than I could of imagine even thou we knew part of the dance because it is the same steps as the single dance. The problems start when you need to add in turns, and just dancing with someone else is hard. without a doubt partner dancing is a skill all of it own even thou I struggled I loved it and can't wait to do it again.


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.

CHERNOBYL CHILDREN'S LIFELINE NORTH WALES

LINE DANCE FUNDRAISER - 10TH APRIL - 7.30PM
MASONIC HALL, MELIDEN LL19 8LA How this annual line dance began! Way back in 2003 I asked Margaret if she would help me to raise the money needed to bring two little girls from Belarus here to Prestatyn in North Wales.
When Margaret met the children and learned more of their story she decided that she wanted to do a fund-raising event each year. She thought that an annual line dance for the charity was the ideal answer to achieve her goal of bringing 2 children over for a month every year. The line dancing club, Country Roots, started by Margaret and her late husband Brian were all in favour of helping and so their story began.
Since those first two little girls Margaret and Country Roots have held their annual fundraising dance and also several other sponsored line dances. With all their hard work and dedication they have raised over £13,000, this means that 22 children from Belarus and now Northern Ukraine, have benefited by staying here in North Wales for four weeks each year since 2003.
Come and join us for a great evening there will be” taster” sessions for anyone willing to give it a go
If you do join in they promise not to be too hard on you !!!
And for those of you who might need a bit of Dutch courage there is a bar at the Masonic Hall.

 BEGINNER'S CLASS

The Beginners class learned a new dance at least it was for them call Haunted Heart I know it an old dance for the old hands but for the beginners that have only been dancing for three to four months it's new.
       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.

The Advance Class

The Advance class have been learning two new dances this week the first is lovely the music is to die for and the dance just flows. it's called Heavenly Cha the other one is called There's The Door! and you will need to write the whole thing as it is here.This dance is OK but I don't like the music so that puts me off a bit see what you think.
