New Dances Coming Up?

New Dances Coming Up?

Hello for the last few weeks the blog had been put on hold as we were doing revision of the recent dances we have learnt, as this wouldn't make for an interesting blog week after week I decided to wait until there was something to report. As we welcome home Margaret, we can look forward to learning some more dances, these are the two Margaret will teach in the near future.

Last Saturday evening some members went to Alf Robert’s social night at Connha’s  Quay Civic Hall..
It was good to see Jim Ryder and his son James again ...as good as ever.. played  some nice country songs lovely to sit and listen to. Also on the bill was  a Dee D James, who comes from Margaret neck of the  woods .(The Black Country) She entertained  the dancers with popular dances  like Mexi Fest  and Wagon wheel Rock also  some old favourites such as Ribbon of
Highway and Blue Rose Is. A good night was had by all...

Wednesday Reviews


Wednesday Review of your Dances

 On Wednesday 28th of August we went over all the dances we had done in the recent months. But as way of a warm up we did some really old dances like one step forward and two steps back,


How Long. It has been along time since we did these some had a hard time remembering how they started.                                           
                                                                           
One of the reasons we did the older dances was we have two new Ladies come to the Wednesday class and it was a way starting easy and finding their level of line dance skills.

The newer dances were Amsterdam Moonlight  Let's Pray    Long Time Gone  My First Love  all dance walkthroughs and dance sheets are no the Dance Page of this blog.

The First Blog For Thursday Class


The First Blog For Thursday Class



Thursday Morning class  was as usual  great fun but we worked hard walking through  Amsterdam  Moonlight and  Long Time Gone , which  is proving to be a popular dance with members  so thanks to the Choreographer Pat Scott for  that one  but  we  still found time to have a good laugh. I think it's important to have a good time some banter with your friends.

We had a visit from  a B T  engineer  who was doing a survey as to where he could  put his cable...... ..fortunately  Margaret refrained  from telling him.....so all ended well!


Margaret ,(The Boss) I like to put a few more aliases in there as well Ha! Ha!.  Won’t be at class for a couple of weeks so...Edna,  with the help of Barbara and Gaynor  will  be putting us through our paces,

Reviewing  new dances and revisiting old favorites....... and while the cats away

                          There is not a meeting on Monday as it is a Bank Holiday the next meeting will be the following Wednesday the 28th.

Then there will be a period of not having any more new dances to learn for a while, so we can pratice all the dances and get them perfect for when Margaret  returns from her holiday.

Monday Night Dances


Two New Dances

Hi Guys well here we are again, as I sit writing the blog I can't believe another week as gone by it only seems a few days not seven . last night we learnt two dances one really quick and one bit awkward, having to do steps that doesn't come natural. The Awkward one is called Amsterdam Moonlight The quick dance is  called Let's Pray, and yes I know it's a new dance but until the class really know the steps it feels like your just waving your legs about because it is so quick, our teacher Margaret Gough tells us is not as quick as it looks it is for the moment quick enough.
