SUBJECT: The Big Bang Dance Classic Report
FROM: Hagan Ko (ha...@haganlinedance.com) - Seattle, WA

 

Will try to keep this as short as possible. :)

 

What a fantastic weekend and an AMAZING event!  HUGE SHOUT OUT to Will Craig & his team.

 

This was my very first time to this event, so I didn't know what to expect. It was an impulse purchase (when I was in my dancing high at Windy City I handed my money to Will)
I am SO glad I went and had such a fantastic time that I made another impulse purchase and handed Will my registration for Big Bang 2016!

 

Workshop highlights:
By far, the 2 most popular dances during the weekend (my opinion) was: 

 

"Celebrate" by Guyton & Will (phrased ABC) - not hard!  Intermediate.  Fun song. Super fun dance. LOVE IT!!!  I think this is going to be a big hit.

 

"Funk U Up" by Willis, Schrank, et al. I didn't take this class but the floor was jammed pack every time it was played. Everyone mentioned that it was a lot of fun. Another huge hit! I was one of the few that didn't know this dance :(

 

 

 

Other dances:
"Take Me To Church" - Guyton & Fred. Is there a category above advanced?  Super tough. A very "Guyton" dance. Great song. Fun dance. Not for the faint of heart!

 

"Twisted Sister" - Guyton. Intermediate dance. Not too tough (for Guyton).  One tricky double turn or something like that towards the end.  I like it!

 

"Run" - new waltz from Scott Blevins. Intermediate. Beautiful, but lots of turns. The 3/4 turn into the "a" count spiral full turn is a part I will have to work on still. The 1st restart is hard to hear (for me).

 

"Wakey Wakey" - Scott Blevins & Jo Thompson.  Cute dance. Fun song. Intermediate level. Fun & cute!

We had an amazing time last night at our dance

 

social!  Many thanks go out to everyone who helped

 

set - up and clean - up, lead the beginner floor splits,

 

and support this event!  Socials like this couldn't

 

happen without all the help!

 

The Social started at 6:00pm and we were still

 

dancing after 10:00.  We were able to get through 69

 

dances, all but one with a paired beginner dance for

 

floor-splits, but didn't have the stamina to make it

 

through the whole playlist.  (I am usually very

 

determined to get through the who,e list - fatigue got

 

the better of me last night!)

 

We are hoping that our next social will be toward the

 

end of February.  If you are in Southwest Florida and

 

have interest in attending, email me for more

 

information.
