Arms Of Luck                         64 counts,   2 walls, 144 bpm,  Easy Intermediate level, song by Jason Allen

                                                Although this dance has 64 counts, many of them are repetitive and there’s  no tags

                                                            or restarts. Basically it’s an easy dance, so give it a go and see what you think.

Waltz With You                                    48 counts, 2 walls, Easy Intermediate, 108 bpm, Song by Teddy Thompson

                                                            I wrote this dance as an easy alternative to Terry Hogan’s ‘All I Want’.

                                                            Although easy, this dance still has a bit of a challenge about it and is not intended

                                                            as a  beginner dance.  I have typed the lyrics of the song on the step sheet so you can

                                                            sing along as you dance.. Just sing ‘all I want to do is waltz with you’ instead of

                                                            singing  all I want to do is live with you’.  It’s such a beautiful song!

Blue Canadian Waltz                            48 counts, 2 walls, VERY EASY, 128 bpm, Song by Sweethearts Of The Rodeo

                                                            I have written the dance for our Improver level dancers and have a

                                                           feeling that this  level waltz to this old song may appeal to lots more

                                                            people out there…. Hope  you enjoy them both!

 

 

Doin' The Dallas              52 counts, 2 walls, Intermediate, Song by Carlene Carter

                                        This little dance moves along and is fun to do.  No tags, but

leave the last 4 counts off walls 1 and 3

                                                            LEAVE THE LAST 4 COUNTS OFF WALLS 1 AND 3

 

Without Wings                          32 counts, 2 walls, 80bpm, Intermediate Level, Song by Westlife

                                                            This is a stunning piece of music by Westlife and I hope I have done it justice with the dance.

                                                             It’s not easy, but it IS an intermediate level dance…..  and I know you will love the fact

                                                             that there are no tags or restarts!       Hope you enjoy it

                                                            NO TAGS OR RESTARTS

Half A Nip Of Baileys                  SEE ON YOU TUBE youtube.com/watch?v=C-owUa_cShY

                                        32 counts, 2 walls, Easy Intermediate, Song by David King

                                        An easier alternative to Maggies dance Irish Spirit (aka Baileys)

                                                            I love Maggies dance but unfortunately, there are lots of people out there

who just can’t manage such a challenging dance.  They’d like to, I know,

because they love the feel of the music, but their bodies won’t keep up

with their minds……. and this dance is for those people. (I’m one of them!)

Hope it does the trick for you!

No offence to Maggie at all as I hold her in the highest esteem .

She’s incredible to watch, -  a legend in her own time!

32 counts, 4 walls, Easy Intermediate, Song by Alan Jackson

                                                            To my ears anyhow, Alan Jackson has changed his style of singing,

                                                            but fortunately it is still good!  The older I get, the more things seem

                                                            change  -  funny about that…..or maybe not so funny!  (-:

doesn’t take too kindly to being a ‘Toreador’ these days!  (-:

A Time To Waltz                                  48 counts, 2 walls, 144 bpm, Easy Intermediate  Song by Jim Croce

Written by request, to an old song from way back!  The guy who

                                                            sings it is Jim Croce (not pronounced CROAK! ) but I think he

                                                            may well have done that by now…. Croaked I mean  (-:

                                                            The waltz is the opposite, alive and moving along! See what you think.

                                                            New Year Picnic In The Park’  I had a bit of a search around and

Dum Dum                                             32 counts,  2 walls, 136 bpm, Beginner Level, Song by Brenda Lee

                                                            This is a good old song from the past that has always been good to dance to.

                                                            The dance should suit those dancers who have learned the basic steps of line dancing,

                                                            This is quite an easy dance to a nice slow song but even sot it is not suitable

                                                             for beginners because it has a trick or two to keep it interesting.

Lonesome                                            32 counts, 2 walls, 96bpm, Easy Intermediate Level, Song by Lacy Dalton

California Dreaming                              32 counts, 2 walls, 112 bpm, Easy Intermediate Level, Song by The Beach Boys

                                                            When I was in Disneyland last year I fell in love with a ride called 'Soaring Over California'.

                                                            And you couldn't keep me off it….. see you are never too old to be silly at Disneyland!

                                                            Anyhow, the name of this song/dance reminds me of that ride and just like the ride, this

                                                            dance is easy to do with a couple of bits to keep you interested.  It's really easy and

                                                             everyone should         manage it without a problem.

Written by request, to an old song from way back!  The guy who

                                                            sings it is Jim Croce (not pronounced CROAK! ) but I think he

                                                            may well have done that by now…. Croaked I mean  (-:

Waltz With You                                    48 counts, 2 walls, Easy Intermediate, 108 bpm, Song by Teddy Thompson

                                                            I wrote this dance as an easy alternative to Terry Hogan’s ‘All I Want’.

                                                            Although easy, this dance still has a bit of a challenge about it and is not intended

                                                            as a  beginner dance.  I have typed the lyrics of the        song below so you can sing

                                                            along as you dance.. Just sing ‘all I want to do is waltz with you’ instead of  singing

                                                            ‘all I want to do is live with you’.  It’s such a beautiful song!

 to this lovely song because many people can’t handle the harder dance by M V Lobos

 called  Champagne On Ice. This dance is called Champagne, No Ice! Looking at the

step sheet this dance may seem harder than it really is. The Monterey turn is unusual

 in a waltz but it’s easy and feels nice to do…. So have a go!

Rose Of Hearts Waltz                           48 counts, 2 walls, 112 bpm, Easy Intermediate  Song by Johnny Rodriquez

                                                            The original Rose of Hearts Waltz was my first attempt at line dance choreography.

                                                            I wrote it for Anneke and it won quite a few competitions back then. However, in  retrospect,

                                                             it was the worst piece of choreography imaginable.  I thought it time to right the wrong, so

                                                             here is  version 2, still simple and still retaining most of the steps from the first attempt...which

                                                             by the way was about 14 years ago now….. My how the time flies as the years roll on! 

                                                            Anneke died of a brain tumour in March 1999 but she will always live on in my heart.

                                                            The original dance was done to the version of the song by Hugh Moffatt but these days I prefer

                                                            this version by Johnny Rodriquez. It is also sung by  Foster & Allen,Johnny Cash (faster),
