FRIDAY, 3/18  PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE BY 6 PM EST SUNDAY.  Get a cup of coffee.  It's long. 
 
NOTE FROM ME:  I went to Roundup in Tampa last night and we danced a bunch.  Maurice taught his and Tom Clemons' new dance, STONE COLD.  It's a 72-count Viennese Waltz and I really like it.  Take a look.  The video is a little dark but you can see it.  I'll ask him to post a lighter one when there is one.  The sheet will be out soon.  If you didn't know, Maurice has been and still is teaching couples dancing and at the Roundup in Tampa, and you will be able to feel when you dance this dance what I have always been nagging new choreographers about, to learn the basic couples moves to improve your choreography skills.  That is why some choreographers can do winning dances over and over again and why you can remember some dances for years.  It's not an accident or because they are a "name."  It's because they know what they are doing and know what dances go to which music.    That's my nag for the day -- except REMEMEB ER TO VOTE!   LOL

We are now only weeks away from our 2016 Dance Xperience events.  We have a new no-frills format in 2016 from our previous EXPERIENCE events so we have changed the name of our new events just a little.  But we still wanted you to know it was us!  The new events will be named Dance Xperience (name of city) and will be on back-to-back weekends in two different cities featuring the same set of choreographers. 
 

Our first events will be the Dance Xperience Orlando set for April 15-17, 2016 in Florida.  The next weekend we will be at the Dance Xperience Portland on April 22-24, 2016 in Oregon.  These will be ballroom-based events and they will be limited to the first 150 people who sign up. 
 

Our guest choreographers in April in both cities will be Neville Fitzgerald, Julie Harris, and Joey Warren.  Due to the recent fire at her home, Debbie Rushton has had to cancel her appearance.  We are pleased to have Rachael McEnaney-White to fill in for our Orlando weekend and Rhoda Lai to fill in for our Portland weekend.  We appreciate both of the ladies joining us on such short notice. Of course, our Awesome DJ, Big Dave and his wife Pauline will also be on hand for all of these events.
 
There is additional event information, suggestions for hotels plus flyers and registration forms on our website. 
 

We would love to have you join us and many of your other dance friends in one of these great cities!!   We have already received a number of registrations for both events and they are filling up quickly.  Please don’t wait if you plan to come.  We don’t want you to be disappointed!

 Subject: ***UPDATE*** 5 Guys And A DJ Linedance Cruise
 
From:  5 Guys And A DJ
 
Since the response was so great at the March 1st deadline, we sold out of outside and 4B cabins that Carnival has graciously given us more rooms and time to lock in at the current rate.
 
2 WEEKS left to go before the deadline to March 31st. It tax refund time, so what better use of that refund than on your summer vacation on a late summer cruise with the "5 Guys And A DJ" linedance cruise. Also, with the additional rooms now added, Anthony told us calls are coming in quickly now, so lock in your choice room. This cruise will feature Guyton Mundy in his last dance cruise before his retirement in 2017. This is a 6 day cruise in the Exotic Eastern Caribbean on the Carnival Conquest out of Port Ft. Lauderdale August 28 thru Sept 3 in 2016.
 
The other instructors are Will Craig, John Dembiec, Patrick Fleming and Trevor Thornton with our DJ being JP Potter.
 
We're actively putting our schedule for workshops and cruise activities right now. Those will be posted as soon it's finalized. But we do have some giveaways to announce. Pass to to Swing Fling, Big D Bash, FloriDance and Guyton's entire video library. There will be more to come.
 
Ports of Call are Carnivals private island of Half Moon, Amber Cove - Dominican Republic, and Grand Turk. 2 days at sea.
 
I haven't been told what rooms are still left, but I do know that Anthony has been getting calls for these newly added rooms. We were able to lock in room rates at a great price, which as follows:
 
Interior 4B $586.64
 
Interior 4C $596.64
 
Interior 4D $606.64
 
Outside $666.64
 
Balcony Sold out, ask for current pricing
 
Suites are available by request.
 
Please keep this in mind, you can still book after the deadline, but it's looking like it will be a minimum of $120 increase of the above listed prices. If you book outside of Anthony, their will be a $100 walk up fee to join the group.
 
Remember, first come, first serve on rooms.
 
These are based off double occupancy, taxes and port fees included. Excluded are gratuities, alcohol, excursions, etc. Discounts may be available for frequent Carnival travelers and senior discounts. Just ask when booking. 3&4 people rates are also available.
 
A deposit of $250 is needed to secure the room with full payment by June 14th, 2016. We would like to have deposits in by March 1st, 2016 to secure the current room rate. Obviously the sooner you book, the better chance of room selection. If we don't sell out these room by March 1st, we can't guarantee these rates. Full refunds are granted until 90 days before the cruise.
 
If you need to find a roommate, we will do everything we can to accommodate you.
 
Buses will be provided if enough requests are received for Tampa and/or Orlando. Minimum of 40 people.
 
Any questions regarding the cruise, please direct them to Anthony, our booking agent. He has an answer for every question you have.
 
Please contact Anthony Ferrara-Swaithes at Cedar Lane Travel for booking and questions and ask for The "5 Guys And A DJ" cruise.
 
Phone: 760-408-2523. (Direct line)
 
I can't stress this enough, but you MUST MUST MUST book with Anthony. If you book directly with the cruise, you WILL NOT be able to join in the line dance festivities. We will not have you on our attendance sheet. So please book with Anthony.
 
 
You may also contact me with any questions you may have.
 
Let's send Guyton out with a bang!

Subject: NTA Dance Tip –  Turn Technique - CBM Preps (and Finishes) for Better Balance
From:  Debra Cleckler – NTA Dance Committee –
de...@cleckler.com
 
For good balance, control and appearance, all turns and spins should start (“Prep”) in CBM (Contra Body Motion/Movement).  CBM is the action of taking the opposite hip and shoulder toward the working/weighted foot.  Ending the turn in a CBM position (“Finish”) also provides better balance when coming out of a spin or turn.  The proper foot positions for “preps and finishes” are the balance foot positions which are 3rd’s and 5th’s and their extended (or slightly open) versions.  These foot positions provide a turned out base which provides better balance during turning.
 
 Using CBM in preps for both Inside and Outside turns and spins is crucial.  Inside turns and spins (turning to the inside of the legs) use a forward CBM, whereas Outside turns and spins use what we call a backward CBM.  (see description of “Outside Turn CBM Preps” below)
 

Inside Turn CBM Preps:  When stepping forward onto the right foot to do an inside turn (like a pivot turn/step turn, etc.), the center (core area) rotates slightly to the right, bringing the left shoulder and hip forward, toward the right foot.  This causes a stretching (twisting) of the abdominal muscles which builds torque (energy) to unwind or turn.  Think “twist-torque-turn”.  It also provides a nice “prepped” look for the turn.
 
Outside Turn CBM Preps:  When stepping forward onto the right foot to do an outside turn or spin (toward the outside of the legs) (as in a forward 5th position traveling pivot), the center rotates slightly to the left to build torque in a backward CBM.  Your right foot is forward and your left hip and shoulder are slightly back creating backward CBM for outside turning.
 
Ending in a CBM position after a turn or spin also gives a nice “finished” look to turns and spins as well as providing a more balanced completion of the turn.
 
NOTE:  Keep body parts stacked with proper body alignment and think more “down” (soft knees) than “up” (on tippy toes) when turning or spinning.  Keep the head up, shoulders down, arms up, rounded and forward for better balance during turns and spins.  Don’t forget to spot!

SUBJECT:  WINDOWS 10 PROBLEMS
FROM: GINNY
 
NOTE FROM ME:  I haven't received any responses yet.  We much have someone on this list that can educate people so please write me so I can post it in the newsletter for everyone to read.  Thanks.
 
Hi Carol-Did u change ur mind about putting an article in the newspaper about the problems windows 10 is causing?  I've now talked to several people who are also having the same problems and read articles  concerning the situation.  It seems we must download different versions of Real Times/Real Player in order to have windows recognize it.  I believe that is only one of the changes we must now make.
 
I would like to know how other instructors are handling this.
 
(please do not put this in the newspaper-just your version)
Thank you so much
GINNY

MIRROR MIRROR – Robbie McGowan-Hickie
48 count, 2 wall Easy Intermediate dance – 2 restarts
Music:  Mirror Mirror by     (ft. Elena)
Love it, dance flows with the music and is a pleasure to dance as are all Robbie’s dances.  Great choice of music too.  Mirror mirror on the wall, no maybe won’t go there!  Last section feels a bit rushed but that may be my age, should have done a slower step there Robbie methinks!   Or I will try and move a bit quicker.  On the way to the No. 1 spot.
 
FIRST COMES THE NIGHT – Sandra Speck
32 count, 4 wall Improver line dance – 2 tags which flow quite nicely with the music
Music:  First Comes The Night by Chris Isaak
What a lovely little dance this is with the dulcet tones of Mr Isaak.  I thoroughly enjoyed it and I think it will be popular in class. One the bands should check out.
 
SEPTEMBER IN THE RAIN – Alison Biggs & Peter Metelnick
64 count, 2 wall Improver line dance – tagless
Music:  September In The Rain by Rod Stewart
Love this one and one of those singalonga dances, not just a rock and a shuffle, some different choreography to catch you out a little, especially going from the end to the beginning. Practice, practice, practice!
 
THE BITE – Ria Vos
64 count, 4 wall Easy Intermediate dance – tagless
Music:  La Mordidita (feat. Yotuel) by Ricky Martin
Didn’t like the music to start with then I saw it danced out and changed my mind.  Sometimes the dance together with the music fits a treat and this one is no exception.  Enjoying it now and wished I had done it sooner, must inflict it on some more classes now.
 
ABOUT FEELINGS – Ria Vos
32 count, 4 wall Intermediate NC2 – 1 restart
Music:  Mixed Drink About Feelings by Eric Church
Queen of the Nightclubs, another super dance to enjoy.  Quite slow in places and you need to streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch the counts but glorious.  Don’t like the sweep ball step but a kick works well.  Not me!
 
GERRY’S REEL – Maggie Gallagher
32 count, 4 wall improver dance – tag free thank goodness!
Music:  Gerry’s Reel
Oh boy, Maggie is trying to recruit for her CELTICA team by sloooooooooooooowly getting us to Riverdance!  I checked this one out last week and thought nope, can’t do that then thought oh well it would be fun trying to.  I quite enjoyed it even though the first 3 steps went AWOL!   1&2, 1&2, 1&2 I kept saying but despite that my feet wanted to do 1&a2 as per BLARNEY ROSES!  Once you get the first 2 sections out of the way the rest is a doddle but getting there is a journey.  Maggie, you are safe, we won’t be asking to join or maybe I should rephrase that and say you will not be looking to us for recruits!
 
KISS MY LIPS – Diana Dawson
64 count, 4 wall intermediate dance
Music:  Kiss My Lips by The McClymonts
Kiss My …………   Oh no maybe not!  Their music is always upbeat and infectious and I found myself really enjoying this dance.
 
WON’T TELL A SOUL – Rachael McEnaney-White & Malene Jacobsen
32 count, 4 wall intermediate dance – tag free
Music:  Won’t Tell A Soul – Charlie Puth
Had do you pronounce his name?  Is it Pooth?  Or Pugh?  Or Pooh?
I learned this one last year when it came out and then something else came along and I sidelined it.  Now I have just seen it danced out and the music and the dance just grabbed me.  I went home and put it on a CD and it’s been played over and over with me singing along!  What a fantastic piece of music and Charlie Puth reminds me of The Platters from my youth (ish!).  Remember going to see them several times and just loved them.  Think it was a couple of the original members in the band and the rest were sound-alikes but the one with the deep voice was there, Herb Reed I think his name was.  Kept expecting Charlie to do that uh-oh into the next verse and he nearly did. Sssshhh!
 
A LITTLE LOVE TRIP – Julie Lockton and Vikki Morris
32 count, 4 wall Improver dance – tagless
Music:  Love Trip by Jerry Gilgore
One of those countless fab country songs that the bands will pick up on and it just flows along nicely.  Have been teaching this one to most classes, whether improver or intermediate.
 
SLAMMING DOORS – Rob Fowler
48 count, 4 wall Intermediate Waltz – tag free
Music:  Slamming Doors by Ben Haenow
Another lovely waltz from Mr Fowler, quite tricky in places although when in doubt just waltz.  The timing caught a few people and took a few goes to not rush that step quarter at the beginning.  I love the music, love Ben Haenow and I love waltzing.
 
MAKING HISTORY – Dee Musk, Craig Bennett and Simon Ward
32 count, 2 wall Easy Intermediate dance – 2 restarts on back wall in the same place
Music:  History by One Direction
 
Wasn’t sure on the music to start with but I now love it once I had put the choreography to the music.  Weird starting 24 counts after the vocals but it works.  Not sure on the walking with hitches as you end up with another entry to the Ministry of Silly Walks or more like creeping.  Add to that, the blowing on the holds before the restart and we had quite fun learning it.  Craig’s last dance (surely not, bet he creeps back in again when he is old) before he retires from our world of dance but I hope that he will be drawn back into it and produce more great dances sometime in the future!  He will sure be missed.
 
BLACKPOOL BY THE SEA – Gaye Teather
32 count, 4 wall Improver dance – tag free
Music:  Blackpool By The Sea by Dave Sheriff
LDF dance for the Crystal Boot Awards this year.  Fun little dance with infectious music as you would expect from Dave Sheriff.   Charleston dance to enjoy, not many like hand movements but looking to the left and right is acceptable.  One would ask do you only look when Dave says so?  One of my dancers didn’t look and when I enquired as to why, she said oh I thought you were shading your eyes from the sun…..  When I’m cleaning windows I sing as we walk round!
 
STOP & DRINK – Robbie McGowan-Hickie
64 count,  4 wall Intermediate dance – tag free although it has an ending…
Music:  Stop & Drink by George Strait
Another fab country song and dance from RMH.  Flows well as usual and I really enjoyed dancing it.  Like the Smokey Places section. 
 
AINT MISBEHAVIN’ – Guyton Mundy, Jo Thompson-Symanski and Amy Glass
48 count, 4 wall Intermediate line dance – tag free
Music:  Misbehaving by Pentomix
Love this funky dance.  Timing is a little tricky and its bad for the hips sort of dance but you can fudge it and do your own thing and its great.  Lots of room for variation on the last pop and triple steps and some new moves for the Ministry of Silly Walks.  However, no one can do it quite like Guyton, maybe we all should wear a woolly hat – I’m sure there is a cooler word for woolly hat but it escapes me at the moment.  The double hitch catches a few out but it’s not that fast so you have time to try!  Like the three options for the touches back, think I prefer the &1 &2 &3 &4 one but quite like the barracuda.
 
THOSE RUSSIANS – Niels Poulsen
64 count, 2 wall Easy Intermediate dance – oodles and oodles of tags and restarts and bridges
Music:  Rasputin by Boney M
Well!  Always did like Boney M, especially this track so pleased to see a dance to it.  A bit too many starts and tags and hand movements for my liking but I will persevere and get it right.  Maybe!
 
SMOKEY PLACES – Michelle Perron
32 count, 4 wall beginner/intermediate dance
Music:  Smokey Places by Ronnie McDowell
Did this one as some had never done it before.  Still love the music and as usual with a classic dance, the script bears no resemblance as to how I perceived the dance to be!  Think they evolve like the apes!  Actually, wasn’t the singer in Planet Of The Apes?!
 
PIZZIRICCO – Dynamite Dot
32 count, 4 wall Easy Intermediate dance – tag free
Music:  Pizziricco by The Mavericks
Love their sound and an old gem from Dot which has always been one of my favourites so happy to recap it.  Another example too of how dances evolve – who added the double clap and the scuff after the triple half?  On checking the script, no sign of them!  The thing is that I remember being taught that way years ago so instructors must just add their own bits as they feel like rather than go vanilla.  Also script says to turn your head when you walk and click but which way?
 
Thanks
Janis
