Summertime Blog

Summertime  Blog

Hi all summertime can be a bit quite for line dances but we did an old dance called Clickety Clack I love this dance because it's quick and the music is fabulous. Which goes to show just because a dance Isn't new it's not a good dance see the dance bellow. 

And moving right up to date with a nice dance called First Fool In Line there is a walk-through for this but the audio is missing but the steps are all there and the dance has music, it an easy dance to learn abut again really nice music. We have the Irish type waltz's I Can't Unlove You and Starting To Night , all the waltz's are really nice dances when you know the steps and restarts but that's all part of modern Line Dancing. I am aware of the time this page might load this is why I can't list all the dances we do in a night, so I try to show the news dances or older dance we have looked at again. I have discover if you load the blog through FaceBook it does load quicker.

New Music To Old Dances

New Music To Old Dances

This week’s blog is about fitting a dance to the music, not the music to the dance.

As I have been going to social nights with live bands or singers, some of them don't sing the songs to the latest line dance hit. So you might have to think outside the box, listen to the music and think of a dance that would fit the song, here I have made up or found some examples. The first is one I have overlaid the track to a demo we made at Country Roots the dance is One Step Forward Two Steps Back the music is Green Door. While the timing isn't spot on its near enough to give you the Idea, the second dance is Love Letter the dance should be done the Strawberry Wine this is the same dance to Elvis's Love Letter a completely different piece of music by it fits have a look for yourself.   

  
As you can see all pieces of music fits the dance, so when you're next in somewhere sit listen to the music have a think what would fit this song?

Welcome To A New Look Country Roots

Hello and welcome. Yes this is a new look to our website and as we go through the rest of this year there will be more changes.

Page Reviews since 2013

The website was started in 2013 and we have people view the blog from all over the world. at the last count 16000 page reviews from world wide, because Line Dancing is truly an international movement.
OK to the dances, and there are some interesting dances this week. We have a 96 count waltz it sounds horrendous but it's not as bad as it sounds, 

 We will show some of the dances we did this week. New dance Watching Over Me  it's a nice easy dance I think it will do well at live events.

2 Lane Highway is a high Improve dance is nice, flows really well. Along with Gypsy Queen this dance will fly, it will be done in all the live events around the country

The another dance we did was I Can't Unlove you, this is the 96 count dance, another quick time waltz I think it will be nice when we can do it properly.
