The United States Line Dance Choreography Championships (USLDCC) is an organization that promotes amateur choreographers in the USA. We offer five sanctioned events in which an amateur choreographer may compete at: Tampa Bay Line Dance Classic, Big Bang Dance Classic,  Line Dance Showdown, Line Dance Marathon, and Fun in the Sun.    

 

At this time, the USLDCC is open to any amateur choreographer. Amateur, as defined by the USLDCC, is one who has never accepted money, or who accepts money under restrictions specified by regulatory body for participating as an instructor at a workshop/event, where you teach your OWN choreography. This does not include “volunteering” as an instructor at workshops/event.

 

The USLDCC will have three divisions:  Newcomer/Novice, Intermediate/Advanced, and Phrased.
There will be great prizes at each of the qualifying events and the GRAND PRIZE is a teaching trip to the 2016 World Dance Masters in England!!!

do more one walls when asked! Our class is very

flexible and we stick to a certain format with many

exceptions! Please come and visit knowing that you

will have a great time!

Subject:  Fort Wayne Dance For All – WOW!

From:  Debra Cleckler – NTA Dance Committee –

 

de...@cleckler.com

 

 

 

WOW!  A great time was had by everyone who

attended the Ft Wayne Dance For All this year.  This

event really has something for everyone!  Great

dance teachers, a large variety of workshops to

choose from (SEVEN of them each hour), including

NTA Dance Fundamentals classes each day!  Dance

parties every night starting on Thursday night, with

separate ballrooms for lines, couples, etc. so you

had a choice for your nightly dancing.  ALL workshop

rooms were packed and it was evident that this is

one of the most popular events attended by a large

variety of dancers.  Line, couple (including Ballroom,

Swing, Latin and CW), Patterned Partner, Clogging,

Choreography, Music, Deejay, Zumba with Jamie,

etc..  The list seemed endless!  Also……team

competition was brought back this year!  Loads of

new talent was displayed in the choreography

contest and the show was (as always)

OUTSTANDING!  If you haven’t attended this event

before now…..you should consider adding it to your

list of events to attend in 2016.  It really has

something for everyone!

Subject: Music for : What Lies Beneath
 
From: Phil Carpenter
 
E/Mail: philipca...@sky.com
 
Date: 2nd March 2015
 
 
Hi everyone,
                 Further to my recent posting, re the

problem of the music track, for:  What Lies Beneath

being removed from i/tunes.

 

As explained previously last week,I had made

contact the management of the band Ezzcape and

made them aware of the problem and my feelings.

 

After a few conversations with them,I am delighted

to be able to confirm that as of 11.00am this

morning,Ezzcape have re-released this track as

single radio edit version of 3.41mins duration,

Which is the correct track, to suit the dance

choreography.

 

The track is now available from i/tunes under the

bands own name.ie. What Lies Beneath ( Radio Edit)

Single by Ezzcape.

 

The compilation album that I took this track from

originally,is still not available, I have received a

response from the Dutch Country Music
Association about this,but have not received a

definitiveanswer to the problem.

 

Really pleased with the out come, and hope that you

will now, all be able to obtain the track ok, and

continue to support this dance,which
in turn will also help the band Ezzcape.

 

Thanks for your patience in this matter.

Happy Dancing

 

Phil
