12/03/2024 IT’S MAGIC (Ria Vos) For a 32 count dance this one proved a bit tricky. Needed some practice to get used to where you are heading for on a few of the turns and where you have to keep your weight. Added to this there’s not always a lot of thinking time! Not everyone liked it but a fair number did (including those who like more of a challenge) and it should be a bit easier next week.

05/03/2024 We had two new 32 count dances this week and both seemed to go down well. I finally got round to doing MEN ON A MISSION (Gary O’Reilly, Guillame Richard and Niels Poulsen). Wasn’t expecting everyone to like it but the choreography fits the music so well it makes it easier to remember. We had a bit of a laugh with the salute ending too!

Also taught BEST FRIENDS (Alison & Peter Metelnick) a lovely little country track but the dance seems to have gone under the radar around here. To Know Me is a class favourite and parts of this have similar step patterns so the class soon picked it up. Remembering and perfecting the restarts took just a little bit longer!
Ran out of time to recap Going All The Way but will do this one early next week. Talking of which, there will be a football match again in the city so please allow time for extra traffic.
