USLDCC DANCES ENTERED AT HOTLANTA!
This is tip for all people entering competition events -- this one or any one. If you will get your sheet AND VIDEO ready before you compete, it will be all ready to go right after the competition. That is when the interest is the highest and if you aren't ready, it won't have the opportunity for people to see it because you know how fast dances come and go. You did the work so try to reap a little of the rewards by giving your dance a chance to be seen! Many dances that didn't win went on to become very popular so just get them ready to send and I'm always happy to post them.
HERE IS THE LINK ON THE USLDCC SITE WITH THE DANCES. I didn't have time to check if vidoes are with each one so below that are the ones that people sent me.

NOTE FROM ME: Someone shared this old video of John Robinson doing DANGEROUS. I love this video.
I remember learning this dance at the Boogie Woogie Boot Camp in some year far away. LOL. We must have done it 50 times that weekend. How many people went to Boogie Woogie Boot Camp? I can't remember who the directors were but I do remember it was a great couple of years.
***************************
SUBJECT: COURTESY AND RESPECT IN LINE DANCING
I've read and appreciate reminders about how to behave when in class and at events: turning off cellphones, paying attention, being aware of everyone's dance space, not wearing scented personal care products, not taking food and drink into places where it is not allowed, smoking in designated areas, etc. All of these courtesies toward other dancers and your instructors make dancing with others more enjoyable for everyone.
I'd like to spotlight another issue: respect amongst instructors.
When you attend someone's class, it's unfair to solicit students for your own classes or your own events. Also, if you've been attending a class or classes and other students ask you to start a class of your own, it's a big ego boost and can be very tempting. But please consider long and hard the impact your new class will have on EXISTING classes. You may literally be taking money out of someone's pocket or worse, putting him or her into the red. It is the ultimate sign of disrespect to start a class in opposition to an existing class, or to schedule an event in conflict with other events. Sometimes it's unavoidable, but sometimes it's intentional.
Unless instructors respect each other, it's only a matter of time until the tables are turned and some newcomer is poaching students from you.
NOTE FROM ME: The person who sent this asked to not have their name attached for obvious reasons but I'm sure this is a universal problem from time to time so I agreed not to post a name with it. I think it is a good thing for people to think about.

SUBJECT: WHAT GEOFF & CELIA ARE TEACHING IN THE UK
Great turn out at class this week, after a couple of weeks of easy ones decided to go with one a little harder that we had heard so many good reports about from Worlds and from lots of our teacher friends, Niels Poulsen’s “NO SUN ON SUNDAY”. Personally I love both the track ”Sun On Sunday” by James Blunt and the dance but unfortunately a few didn’t like the track so it wasn’t the big hit that I expected with all our dancers. Recapped Ria’s “Delilah” from last week and walls of several others when requested.
Playlist was :- Dear Friend, Tongue Tied Up, Italiano, Darling Hold My Hand, Slowly Gently Softly, Your Loving Arms, Gypsy Queen, Cry For Me, Refund To My Heart, Beautiful In My Eyes, I Came To Love You, Missing, We’re In Heaven, No Sun On Sunday (twice), Love On The Weekend, Delilah, Wandering Heart, Fooling Around, Lonely Drum, Scared Of The Dark, Against All Odds, Strip That Down, Everydays A Holiday, No Sun On Sunday (again), Skin, Loves Just A Feeling & I’m Stuck.
Our next Social at Shelf Village hall will be on Saturday 16th September, non stop dancing to your requests from 8.00 pm – 11.00 pm and of course the ever popular home made buffet supper. Everybody welcome. All details on our website.
