TAMWORTH DANCES 2008

 

Although I did not make it to Tamworth this year, my workshops still

went ahead with Liz Heath at the helm, teaching dances from the list below.

I believe that Rosalie Mackay also taught October Winds.

Achievements                                                    64 counts,  2 walls, 120bpm, Easy Intermediate Level, Song by Mark Medlock

                                                                      This dance looks hard on paper but in actual fact, it is quite easy.

                                                                      Anyhow, like the song says… You can do it if you really try!  So give it a go!

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,

                                                                      But  if you are an accomplished dancer, feel free to improvise

  A Falling Star                                       

                                                          32 counts, 2 walls, 104 bpm, Easy Intermediate Level, Song by John Anderson

                                                                      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.

  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.

Wild Horses                                                        32 counts, 2 walls, 120 bpm, Easy Intermediate Level, Song by Garth Brooks

                                                                      Annie has been bugging me for years to write a dance to this song….

                                                                      and I have finally run out of excuses…. So here it is, and it’s easy  too!

                                                                      1 RESTART  3 EASY TAGS….TRUST ME!  (-:

 

 

Lovin' Again                                                      40 counts,  4 walls, 120bpm, Easy Intermediate Level,  Song by Dwight Yoakam

                                                                      Here’s another easy dance to a Dwight Yoakam song. His songs are just so easy to

                                                                      dance to aren’t they.   1 TAG, 1 RESTART

 

 

A Pretty Dance                                                  36 counts,  2 walls, 104bpm, Easy Intermediate Level,  Song by Dwight Yoakam

                                                                      As the old saying goes,  ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’!

                                                                      Just as well too, Otherwise there would be a lot of dejected people around!

                                                                      “Try not to look so pretty” is something that nobody has EVER said to me! Hehehehehe

                                                                      1 RESTART

 

 

Skippin'                                                               32 counts, 2 walls, 100 bpm, Easy Intermediate Level, Song by Dwight Yoakam

                                                                      Thanks to Di Andrews from Port Macquarie NSW for this song.

                                                                      Once you master the start of the dance it is easy peezy… and you can make it harder

                                                                       by adding the extra skips at the end… it's a challenge!  (-:

Strollin' Along                               32 counts,  4 walls, 120bpm, Easy Intermediate Level  Song by Tanya Tucker 

                                                                      The same song as for the partner dance San Antonio Stroll.

                                                                      It's easy and I wrote it for those of you who don’t like to partner dance.

                                                                      Dance this in the middle and partner dance  around the outside… Just like we

                                                                       used to do in  the 'good old days!'  yeeehaaaa!

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

                                                                      This dance has syncopated steps and although it is listed as Easy Intermediate, dancers

                                                                      with little experience may have trouble with the timing. I really like the song and also

                                                                      enjoy the dance… hope you do too!
