Subject: Sharing the dance floor
From: daisyra...@gmail.com

 

I would like to start a discussion on how different

 

dance halls handle sharing the floor with line dancers

 

and free style dancers. How do you keep everybody

 

happy without favoring one group over the other.  And

 

without posting a lot of rules.

 

Line dancers say no drinks on the dance floor, for

 

safety reasons, and free style dancers take their

 

drinks onto the floor, especially the women because

 

of safety reasons.  Line dancers are more trusting?

 

I know not all bars have this problem but I would like

 

to know how they would handle it.  I know line

 

dancers want the whole floor and so do the swing

 

dancers and then there are the dancers that just like

 

to jump around, more power to them.

 

Just would like to hear some ideas.

Subject: New DVD and thank you!
From: dancewit...@gmail.com

 

Hi everyone,

 

Just a quick note to let you know that my latest DVD Volume 8 is now available for purchase.  A full teach of each dance along with a demo to music to include any tags or restarts so you can practice along, dvd is over 2 hours long.
Dances include: Cheesecake, Go Go Go Go, How Will I Know, McMotion, The Other Side and Washed In The Water.  Email me if you are interested, more details on my website http://dancewithrachael.com/Dance_with_Rachael_McEnaney/DVDS_%26_TSHIRTS.html

 

While I have the opportunity (and for those that missed my post on Facebook), thank you so much to each and every one of you who nominated all the other instructors, choreographers and personalities for the Crystal Boot awards and a special thank you to all of you for voted for me.  It is always a surprise (a wonderful one) to find out you have won an award at this prestigious event and for the first time in many years I was unable to be there to collect them.  I love this dance life so very much and so grateful to everyone and everything who has been a part of it.
I received Choreographer of the year & New York 2 LA won advanced dance of the year and I also received an Outstanding Achievement award for winning Female Personality of the year 5 times (meaning I can't be nominated again for this category).  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.....I could keep going but I'm sure you'd get bored ;-)

 

Happy dancing everyone, see you on the floor soon (I hope) xoxo

 

Rachael

SUBJECT:  DISCUSSION ABOUT EASY DANCES

 

Subject: Easy Dance Names
Me:  billw...@me.com

 

Some of the contributions to this discussion seem to

 

be going off track.
The original wasn’t saying there should not be

 

beginner dances - that is obviously a requirement for

 

newcomers to our activity.
They were just objecting to certain words in naming

 

them.
I teach a beginners class and I would think that most

 

of them would be ‘slightly’ offended by the ‘baby’ word

 

but not necessarily by ‘easy’ or ‘lite’.  I know I would

 

have when I started. I guess it’s a matter of degree.

Subject: Mike Osborn: Baby Dance
From: sible...@yahoo.com

 

 As a student simple of line dancing I recently heard

 

the term, “Baby Dance” and I wanted to understand

 

what it meant. It was a totally foreign concept for me.

 

I would be classified as a beginner/intermediate

 

according to my line dance instructor, but I admit that

 

I’ve had to go back to the beginning to brush myself

 

up on some of the basics and fundamentals, which

 

isn’t a bad thing. I think the term, “Baby Dance” is

 

either outdated or isn’t a term that is appropriate. I

 

have seen new dancers keep pace with the more

 

advanced, while the later have given up and walked

 

off the dance floor. The term, “Baby Dance” I don’t

 

think would be any different than putting a label on

 

someone of being, “mentally retarded” when the term

 

“intellectually-disabled” would be more appropriate

 

and even that could be wrong because I have seen

 

people that could be considered “intellectually-

 

disabled” and they have danced a lot better than I

 

ever could. You aren’t offering someone a bottle.

 

You're offering to teach someone how to dance. The

 

term "baby" might make someone feel inferior. How

 

would someone feel if they were called a cry baby? I

 

don't think referring to a dance as a "baby dance" is

 

appropriate. I think professional dancers and

 

choreographers should stick to the terms beginner,

 

novice, or ultra-beginner.
