Sweetheart of an event
From Ember Schira -Vancouver, BC, Canada
http://members.shaw.ca/stepnscuff
 
 
Spent last weekend at the 24th annual Sweetheart

 

Jamboree in Bellevue Washington.
 
I have been to this event numerous times and it is

 

always a lot of fun.
 
I go to this event for the line dance workshops but

 

there are also a number of swing and two step

 

workshops available. 
 
I always like to try out a couples class or two. Michele

 

Perron offered a technique class, which I found

 

extremely informative.
 
We had so many workshops to pick from, it was

 

difficult to decide which one to take.
 
Thanks to Randy and Rhonda and all the volunteers

 

and instructors, for another great event.
 
Oh…I should mention, Randy sure knows how to

 

Wobble!!!

SUBJECT:  DISCUSSION ON LEVEL OF DANCES

 

Subject: naming line dances
From: cwei...@yahoo.com

 

As an additional comment regarding naming beginner

 

line dances with "baby" or "easy", I would like to say

 

"Get a life!"  I can't believe people complain about

 

such petty things.  There is certainly a much larger

 

picture in this world, and life, in general.  I started as

 

a beginning line dancer a little over 2 years ago and

 

now am a helper in a beginner class.  I honestly never

 

thought a thing of it when the line dances had the

 

words "baby" or "easy" in them.  In fact, when I heard

 

those words, I was happy because I knew I would be

 

able to learn the dance, even if it took a couple of

 

tries.  In visiting with others in the beginner class

 

where I'm a helper, they feel the same way.  They are

 

in no way offended.  We are just very thankful that

 

people take the time to choreograph easier dances

 

so that we can dance, too!  So, let's move on - forget

 

the petty stuff and only worry about the big stuff!!

 

Thanks for the opportunity to share my opinion,
Carolyn

Love is in the air, and on Jango.com
 
Songs have been written about every topic imaginable, but Valentine's Day is sonic proof that while musical fads and fashions will change with every generation, love (and the songs inspired by it) will never go out of style.

 

Here at Jango.com, we've compiled a variety of "love song" stations that we feel has a little something for everyone, even those who may not be a fan of the holiday! Find them on the website, or through our iOS and Android apps.
