Lincoln Lone Stars

Many thanks to Kath Dickens for not only teaching my new dance Big Blue Wall, but also for kindly recording this demo video.  I hope to have a video available for my other new dance, My Own Kind Of Hat in the next week or so.

Latest Dances taught….

27.07.10 MAKE YOU SWEAT (Ria Vos) Had promised the class only one new dance and something easier this week so this 32 count, 4 waller with 1 restart was ideal.  Must be honest and admit I forgot to ask them whether they actually liked the dance, but it seemed to be well received.  Some joined in with the optional arm movements but not all.  Definitely an upbeat, feel good sort of dance.

Oldie revised –  SOLUNA (Robbie McGowan Hickie) This has always been one of my all time favourite dances so rather selfishly I took the decision to revive it and I did a few walls at the very end of the night for those who wanted to stay behind. At least one person had never danced it before, but I was pleased to hear someone else in the class say it was one of their favourites too after we had finished dancing it.

20.07.10 BIG BLUE WALL (David Spencer) This is one of my own new dances, 64 count intermediate 4 walls to an Agnes track.  They did give the dance a round of applause after the 2nd time of dancing it but perhaps they were just being kind to me!  Video now added – thanks Kath!

 20.07.10 PACK UP (Craig Bennett) Also taught this easy intermediate, 64 count, 2 waller to the Eliza Doolittle track. Several dances out to this but this one has been taught locally and we also learnt it ourselves at a weekend event in Cumbria. Not everyone got up again when it was played later on but maybe that was because it was a hot sticky night.

My next social is on Saturday 7th August at Walesby Social Club just 10 minutes off the A1 from either the Markham Moor or Tuxford exits.  Map available on the Events/Socials tab.  If you are coming along, please feel free to e mail beforehand with your request list, or bring them along on the night.

I’ve just added a few photos from Peter & Alison’s recent line dance weekend break in Street in Somerset, where the fancy dress theme was the 1960′s. There is also a couple of snaps from our holiday immediately after when we stayed on for a week in South Devon.  Just click on “Gallery” to see them.
