Faye & Bob seem to be the flavour of the month at the moment :) My class really struggled with this dance, I think it was a bit too soon for them to have a go at this one. But they are prepared to stay with it.

This is a very nice little dance from Jon, I had a look at this dance at Linda Pinks social a couple of weeks ago, liked it a lot, so took it to my class & they just love it. Definately on the 'to do' list.

This is a great flor split for "Mexicali", same music, has only one restart. Some of my Easy Intermediate students just couldn't handle "Mexicali", but this was no problem & they all loved it.

This has to be one of the most popular dances in all my classes at the moment. What a cute little dance, they just love it. There is another dance to the same song called "Tennessee Shuffle", which is in Gordon's Beginner book for 2010. I stumbled across this one from a site in the UK. Definately worth looking having a look at this dance.

Another popular dance in all of my classes. I chose Maggie's over Tim Gauci's dance, only because a few Instructors around my area have taught Maggie's, so it was pointless teaching a different dance, especially when we share our students. A very laid back dance, with 2 easy tags.

I had never heard of this song by ABBA until now. I have seen this dance become very popular in the UK, so I thought I would give it a go. There are 6 tags in the dance, which put me off teaching it, but they are really easy to pick up in the music & they are only pivot turns. This dance was danced 4 times in class on Monday night, that's how much they enjoyed it. I also threw it in to my Intermediate class on Thursday afternoon & they reaction was the same. A very nice, catchy little dance.

I have to admit, when I first heard the music for this dance I thought eeewwwk!!!! Remember "Oklahoma Wind"? same sort of music, this dance is gaining in popularity in the northern states, so I thought I would give it a go. I should of taught it sooner, the reaction has been really positive, mind some of my 'guys' don't take too much to the dance. Have a look at this dance, you won't be dissapointed.

Wow!! what a great dance, this lady can sing!!! she is brilliant. The dance is not that hard, it does move along at a steady pace, great step combinations that fit the music really well. This is my current favourite...................LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you require the music, just let me know.

I missed the boat with this dance last year, but my guys have seen this at Linda's & also at Robert's Socials & have asked me to teach it. The dance has gone over really well. Well liked in class.
