Hi, Linda.
Great question and one that all dance teachers struggle with.
I teach all levels of line dancers. In my experience, Novice dancers have no knowledge of compound moves, such as coaster steps, jazz boxes, kickball changes, scissor steps, sailor shuffles, etc. Also, Novice dancers tend to come to their first line dance class with the preconceived notion that they’ll stomp, swivel their heels, and do fun, but simple, turns. They are confused on the back wall and have difficulty transferring weight properly. "Dance shoes? Why buy special dance shoes?" As a teacher, I choose dances for Novices based on what they can learn if they don’t know dance terms. I also choose dances that have a single compound move. Such dances allow me to teach one concept at a time. This might be a Novice’s one and only time on a dance floor and I want to make that one time count.
For my Beginner dancers, I try to keep them interested without working them too hard. Many at this dance level haven’t yet bought into the amount of work, dedication, and strength that modern line dance entails. They balk at tags and restarts. A lot of teaching happens in the Beginner level and I never want a dance to be so serious or complicated that it’ll make students sit that dance out. They quickly learn the importance of dance shoes.
Improvers know compound moves but can’t recall choreography. At this level, I teach the tricks of remembering choreography. They learn that music matters, so tags and restarts are necessary. They improve their technique and stamina. They are becoming aware of dance events but aren’t ready to attend them.
Intermediates have stamina and knowledge and can do all the moves with some styling but they still want the leader to do the memory work for them. They have difficulty recalling the names of dances, or how the dance starts, but instantly recognize the dance when the music plays. They welcome learning 64-count dances because they know their hard work going in will be rewarded once they perform the dance. They look forward to traveling to dance events. They have favorite choreographers.
Advanced dancers can do it all — multiple tags, phrasing, changing tempo, long counts, styling, memory. They just want someone to dance with.
As for the meaning of “Easy” or “High,” when I see these terms, I take that level of dance and either relax it or push it.
Cheers!
Cassandra in Texas

SUBJECT: MORE BIOS FOR LEGENDS IN LINE 2017
KARL HARRY WINSON:
Here at Legends In Line we welcome the fabulous Karl Harry Winson to the Norbreck in November.
Karl is from Bournemouth and started Line dancing approximately 17 Years ago. He was introduced when his mum had a group of Line dancers at her Country & Western themed 50th Birthday party.
Karl was practically 'dragged' to a class with his mum. He didn't know what to expect but his first dance was 'California Freeze' and from that moment he was hooked.
Karl progressed very quickly teaching himself dances from the step sheets of dances he had seen at Socials.
Karl's passion for Line Dancing grew and a few years later he trained to teach and every so often would teach a dance to the class he attended for experience.
In 2006 Karl's instructor, Roger Swansbrough who ran the club Marshals Line Dancing unfortunately died in a car accident which left the club without an instructor.Karl was asked to stand in and the rest is history.
Just after Karl started Line dancing he also joined the Stagecoach theatre school in Bournemouth as his ambition at the time was to be on the West End Stage. It was Line dance that helped him with his confidence on the stage and dancing in front of people.
Karl studied at University to earn a BA (Hons) Degree in Musical Theatre. Karl teaches singing at theatre schools to young people with the same ambitions. He's directed his own production and been involve in 'extra' work for TV.
Choreography has always been a passion for Karl and his first dance published in Linedancer Magazine was 'Through The Grapevine.'
One of his highlights was to meet Robbie McGowan Hickie and he thanks Robbie for helping him in the Line Dance world and encouraging him with the choreography. They have collaborated on dances together, many of them hit dances.
In his own words ' Line dancing is such an amazing form of dance and I am very proud to be part of it. The way it has evolved over the years with it's music steps and global interest is fascinating. You get to meet so many amazing people and watching them dance your dancing and having fun is the highlight of it all. '
Well there will hundreds of people dancing your choreography in November, Karl.
*****************************
DAVE BAYCROFT (husband of that famous Pauline!):
The Legends In Line Team, welcome Big Dave Baycroft to the Line Up at the Norbreck in November.
Dave is loved throughout the Line Dance world. Top DJ brilliant organiser, (or is that Pauline Baycroft) LOL. He is life and soul of the party, has gathered many awards and Dave's knowledge of Line Dance is nothing short of amazing.
A trip to California in 1997 was where it all started for Dave including his life long affair with Country Music.
After returning to the UK, the whole Baycroft family visited a club in Hinckley and it wasn't long before Dave was encouraged to start his own class and that is when a nickname that he is still associated with today was coined. Dave worked for British Gas and started his classes on the works site itself. Hi sfirst club was called The Gas Tap Stompers hence Big Dave Gastap! Maggie G added the 'Big'.
This incredible adventure continued and took the class into Hinckley Town and the club was renamed the Tucson Terrors (because of the love of the US location).
All this eventually led to Dave and Pauline's first event in September 2005. It was a Newline event. Dave very much believes that all levels should be encouraged to have socials. More events soon added to their busy portfolio. At this time Dave and Pauline worked along side good friends Andrew and Sheila Palmer and Tim Ruzgar.
in 2008, Dave was able to retire from his day job and the couple relocated to Newcastle. Dave's class in now under the banner of 'Arizona Line Dancers'.
In Dave's own words ' The classes are the very foundation of who I am and what I do. I love teaching dances and that also gives me the grass roots insight that I hope helps me be a better DJ and event organiser'.
Becoming a DJ was always a natural development for Dave.
With DJ work hard to find, Dave realised that the best way was to just organise and DJ his own events.
Dave has no hesitation in citing Tim Ruzgar as his role model. It was Tim and Maggie Gallagher who opened the doors for Dave.
As we all know Dave has many great events all over the world.
The most amazing highlight of Dave's Line Dance career was winning DJ of the year for 5 years consecutively at the Crystal Boot Awards.
It is only right to mention that none of these achievements would have taken place without Pauline Baycroft.
Dave and Pauline continue with their ventures even though they say they are going to slow down.
Their family and grandchildren mean everything to them but Line dance is the 'air that they breathe'.
