I chose to teach this dance so that we coud do a floor split with Lu Olsen's dance of the same name. Classes really like this dance, I think it's more the music than the dance, but at least they are on the floor. Not a bad dance.

Has been very well received by my Improvers, I slowed the music down at first as it is on the quickish side. Amazingly they all remembered the song & sang along. A good little dance.

This dance went over a real treat at our Monday night class, fits the music well, flows well, the only thing I did was, with the tag I got them to vine right, vine left, instead of the rolling vines, we did try the rolling vines, but they found it a bit awkward. Well worth the teach, Good job Margaret, nice dance.

I had a go at this dance at Linda's social on Saturday night, I taught it to my Easy Inters. & it went over very well, I, like Linda, slowed it down for the first couple of times. They did have problems with the last 8 counts, but then so did I at Linda's, LOL!!!

Another dance that I would highly reccomend. At first, I was a bit unsure, I just thought it was  another 'shuffly' dance, but it is a very, very nice dance to do, great music, flows very well, my class clapped & cheered after this dance & they wanted it again, that says something.

I really like this dance, my 'younger' dancers hated it, didn't like the music at all. Very nicely choreographed by Alison, thanks to Cynthia for putting me onto this dance, I can see this dance gaining popularity very quickly. A good easy intermediate dance.

This is a nice little dance from these 3 choreographers. Have a look at this one, I think your classes will enjoy it, the classes that I have taught it to so far have. A little tricky in spots, but it's nicely paced & a very manageable dance. Probably more of an Easy Intermediate dance.

It seems that quite a lot of clubs are teaching this dance at the moment, I can see why, it has been a big hit with those classes that have learnt the dace so far, definately not country, I wasn't sure how it would go down with a few of my 'country' fans, but they loved it. Some didn't bother with the hands, but they still enjoyed the dance.
