Tiger By The Tail         32 counts, 2 walls, Easy Intermediate Level, Song by Buck Owen

I’ve never had a tiger by the tail …. Well, not literally anyhow. But I am  familiar  with the feeling of holding

onto something that is pulling me  forward faster then I really want to go and being  too scared to let go in case

it turns around and bites me.  I guess that’s what it feels like to have a tiger by the tail…...... my line dance career

has been a bit like that at times!  (-:   AND I BET THAT’S NOW TIGER WOODS FEELS LATELY!! Hehehe

 

This dance is easy but it’s not for new beginners.  It feels a bit familiar to me at the end and I think it is Pick A Pocket

that it’s reminding me of….  Do you  remember the bit where we used to run fwd and be silly? Hope you can still

remember how to skip  -  it’s been a long time!

Mexican Shuffle           32 counts, 2 walls, Easy Int. Song by Tony Christie

                                                This is an easy little dance, which is a bit pacey towards the end.

                                                Let the momentum of the 1/2 turn pivot at the end of the dance take your body into the

first 1/4 turn, at the start of the dance. That  was the reason for putting it there.

                                                                For ‘Tina Turner’ Gwennie, who loves this song

Smiles                            64 counts, 2 walls, Easy Int. Song by Pussycat

This is an easy little dance in spite of the 64 counts and most people should manage it.

 If you can’t turn while shuffling at counts 53  - 56 then just shuffle straight back, that makes it REALLY easy!

Thanks to Muriel from Amsterdam for this song.

No Difference                32 counts, 2 walls, Intermediate Level, Song by Rickie Pangkerago

                                                I wrote this dance in response to the following request by Muriel.Gravemaker from Amsterdam.

‘May I ask you to write a dance for me and my friends. We are a group of men and women

with their roots in  former Nederlands Indie, now known as Indonesie.  I have a wonderful song,

 from an Indonesian country singer.  He sings about all the people of the world, white, black,

 rich, poor, who are in God’s eyes, all the same.   Could you please name the dance, “No Difference”.’

It’s not a hard dance in spite of the intermediate level grading, so give it a go.

It’s slow and emotive and I hope you enjoy it!  Our dancers love it.

Mexican Snow              64 counts, 2 walls, Easy Intermediate level, Song by Reba McEntire

                                                This dance was written by request for an easier dance to this lovely song.

We still do Rosalie Mackay’s terrific dance, Til It Snows In Mexico, but many dancers have to sit it out…..

So here is a dance that I hope you will all manage.  It’s not a beginner dance by any means, But if you

have been dancing for a year or so, you will manage it, no problems!

Hope you enjoy Mexican Snow…. Bet the Mexicans would  - if they could only get some! (-:

Memory Loss                32 counts, 2 walls, Easy Intermediate level, Song by Leanne Womack

Terry Hogan wrote a lovely dance to this music some years ago  -  and we still do it in our classes. 

However, it is too hard for some of our people and this little dance should ensure that everyone is able to

get on the floor when the music comes on.  I hope there are others out there who will also appreciate the

simplicity of the dance because the music really feels lovely to dance to.

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!

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

                                                            people out there…. Hope  you enjoy them both!

                                        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!
