Friday 4/27

HOW TO VOTE IN THE WEEKLY SURVEY: List up to 8 of your favorites and email to me at tka...@aol.com before 6 PM Sunday.

Thanks for taking a moment to vote AND I HOPE SOME OF YOU WHO AREN'T VOTING WILL DO SO THIS WEEK -- to those of you who vote faithfully THANK YOU!!

If you have friends who want to receive the free daily newsletter, tell them to send an email to me at tka...@aol.com with SUBSCRIBE in the subject line and I'll add them.

Do you want to scan the newsletter faster? I always put the word, SUBJECT, before each post. Just do a search for that word and you can skip from topic to topic quickly and read what you are interested in reading.

*********************************

NOTE FROM ME: It looks like everyone is having a great time at the Spring Break with Steve Lescarbeau and also at the brand new Texas event. Hope I will get some good reviews about the weekend and what dances you liked! We can’t all go, you know!

I would REALLY APPRECIATE IT if some of you who NEVER vote would vote this week. It is so easy. Just list 8 dances you like, one under the other and email it to me at tka...@aol.com. I would especially like some of you intermediate-adv dancers who very rarely vote, to send in your votes since people say your choices aren’t reflected on the survey (I don’t really agree with that) but people think that, so let’s get YOUR selections in and see how the results come out. If you would keep your list by forwarding the email to yourself at the same time you send it to me, then next week you could edit your list to add or delete your new favorites and become a REGULAR voter. Thanks for your help. Carol

Subject: 2018 FLORIDA WORKSHOP TOUR

From: dancew...@nuline.comcastbiz.net

Hello Everyone,

It’s been more than 3 years since I did a Florida Tour. I have been invited back to Orlando to give a Line Dance Workshop (see flyer attached) on Friday, October 5, 2018. For the past 5 years, I have always reserved the month of October for my California Workshop Tour. I am taking a break this year and instead decided to do a Tour right here in my home state of Florida !!

I am available to do weekends or weekday workshops from October 6^th – 31^st. If anyone is interested in organizing a workshop in their area, please contact me as soon as possible at: dancew...@comcast.net or call at: 561.901.1200. I am back from my 2018 European Workshop Tour on October 1^st with a new program of dances from Beginner to Low Intermediate levels.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Regards,

Ira

Subject: NTA DANCE TIP - Step Turns (aka Pivot/Chase/Break Turn)
From: Debra Cleckler – NTA Dance Committee – de...@cleckler.com

Lately I am seeing some “variations” in the pattern “Step Turn” (Pivot Turn). It seems that some dancers hear “step turn” and they are doing “turn step”. This leaves them turning too early and ahead of the other dancers. Try the instructions below to be sure you are doing it correctly. You should “step-turn-step”. Think of “prep, turn, finish”.

A two count (two weight changes) inside half turn using 5th position* and CBM** (Contra Body Movement) (prep). Think of a turning 5th position rock step.

1    Step forward left in slightly open 5th position* (with CBM Prep)**
&   Turn ½ turn right
2    Replace weight to forward foot (right foot in this example) (using a CBM Finish)

*Fifth Position: Toes of the back foot to the heel of the front foot, both feet turned slightly out to the diagonal.
Used in rock steps, break steps, and cross (behind and in front) steps. Also used for preps and finishes for most turns.

**CBM (Contra Body Movement): Used in preps and finishes for turns. The action of moving the opposite hip and shoulder toward the working foot, creating torque for turning.

Note: When done as a ¼ inside turn it is called a Military Turn.

Subject: 2018 BAHAMAS LINE DANCE CRUISE SENSATION !!

From: Ira Weisburd (dancew...@comcast.net)

A Line Dance Cruise Sensation is the perfect antidote to help get through the next cold winter. Come sail w/ Rosie Multari, Ray Sarlemijn & Ira Weisburd and rejuvenate on the newly revitalized Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas as we cruise to the Bahamas for 5 glorious days and 4 nights of dancing, complimentary cocktail parties, dining & world-class entertainment. There is nothing quite like a line dance cruise and no one does it better than Advantage Cruises & Tours !!

We are excited to announce that an additional 43 bookings were made since last Friday. The $50.00 off promotion is about to end on Monday !! After April 30th, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to take advantage of that savings !! Remember, you can only lock that price in if you make that call NOW to Advantage Cruises & Tours at 1.866.824.1613. The $100.00 deposit is Fully Refundable up until Final Payment date which is August 15th !! If you wait, you could lose that $50.00 and perhaps even more if the price for the cabin goes up once we sell this first block of cabins. The only way you can lock in these prices is to book your cabin before the deadline.

Check out our Facebook Event Page: https://www.facebook.com/events/204681120289578/ We even have a Pre-Cruise Option. See Flyers Below.

SUBJECT: CHOREOGRAPHY STEP CHANGES

FROM: Lisa McCammon

This is a belated comment on Peter Blaskowski's recent post about step changes in a dance: I agree one hundred percent. Choreographers are starting from scratch, so there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for getting to the end of a dance then saying "Oh, I forgot that the tag comes here and we're on the wrong foot; oh well--I'll just make the dancers to X instead." Today I came across a nice dance to a good piece of music, but noticed one of those "oopsie" tags that required a step change before restarting. Is it do-able? Yes. Will I do it? NO! The dance went into the REJECT pile instead of the TO DO pile, as will all other badly choreographed dances like it. Certainly there are plenty of others from which to choose.
