SUBJECT: PIKES
PEAK LINE DANCE…OR BUST! 10TH ANNIVERSARY, JULY 9-11, 2010, COLORADO
SPRINGS
Pikes Peak Line Dance…or Bust! is celebrating its 10th anniversary this
year, and you won’t want to miss out on a great weekend with our terrific staff
that includes John Robinson, Jo Thompson Szymanski, Doug & Jackie Miranda,
plus special guest instructors Ruben Luna, Juliet Hauser, and guest DJ Jill
Babinec! [We also have two very special surprise guests who will be
joining us as attendees (instructors from the national circuit that you all
know) but they want to keep it a surprise for now from our instructor
staff!]
This year, we will be having a “pre-party” at Copperhead Road Country
Nightclub on Thursday night, July 8th, and if you are in town early please feel
free to join us from 6:30-9 pm at the club. The address is 3330 N. Academy
Blvd, and phone number is
719-659-2301. Otherwise, we will see you in the
main ballroom at the hotel for the Friday night Welcome Back Party, starting at
7 pm, which will include preview demos of the weekend lessons by the
instructors.
We hope you will plan to join us in Colorado Springs in July for some
“Dancin’ With Altitude!” and our 10th Anniversary!
A.J. and Scott Herbert

Dancing with Ginger at the Mill, Manchester NH
from: Ginger Kozlowski,
aplj...@gmail.com
On Thursday, June 24, at 7 p.m., I will have a special request workshop at
the Mill A-Round Dance Center, 250 Commercial St., Manchester, NH. Just $8! I
will teach two to three easy dances and two intermediate dances that night, but
it's up to you to pick what I will teach. Send your teach requests to me now at
aplj...@gmail.com, then come for the
evening and get caught up on the dances you've been wanting to learn!
My next beginner session starts July 1. See my web site,
www.linedancemax.com, for the full lineup
of lessons. Rather than a summer session that builds skills each week, each week
will be self-contained, with a newbie-level lesson, a beginner lesson and an
intermediate lesson, with plenty of open dancing till 10 p.m. Warmups are at
6:30, lessons start at 7 p.m. each Thursday thorugh the summer at the
Mill.

Both of those dances would work for folks with little to no line dance
experience.

PALM SPRINGS WEEKEND
Howdy everyone,
Palm Springs has a new web site!! It is simple to find the
information, registration, dates, etc, etc.
Please note that there are new email addresses for Russ and Gloria
Gunn.
How about sending them a note -- and changing their addresses in your
address book?
Everything is moving right along nicely and Gloria’s back surgery is a
success and she’s recovering very smoothly.
Love and Kicks,
KC
This past Saturday afternoon and evening I attended a wonderful
venue,
The Outer Rim at the Irish Center in Long Island City,
N.Y.
Jane O'Brian and Rona Kaye, two EXPERT teachers
taught "Stoked" and
"Sunglasses" that for lack of time at the JG
Marathon I was not able to
take as classes.
Mike
Candella cooked all the food and dessert. It was like being in a 5
star restaurant. The presentation of the fruit and snacks BEFORE the
main
meal was truly artistic!
I highly recommend this
progressive venue held once a month. You won't
be disappointed.
Even after being away from home last week while at JG, we headed up north
to NJ & NY for a weekend getaway for more dancing. During the 30 mins
request, I asked Inner "Tim" Circle to play BLAH BLAH BLAH. Because most
recognized the music but forgot the dance, I did a quick 3 min (re)teach for
everyone (Sophia got a private lesson due to her late arrival). On the playlist,
I forgot the nice dance by Paul McAdam called WISHING ON A STAR, taught by Rona
Kaye at Showdown 2010. Fortunately, the star was bright enough for me to follow
everyone on the floor and master it 1/2 way through. Another dance to look out
for is Will Craig's LOVE SONG which had a full floor, and the song is growing on
me - this has been taught at several events Will has instructed. We all knew the
restart in NO SALVATION was approaching, but Sophia showed her teeth too early
calling the restart 8-counts ahead of time. Fortunately, none of us needed
braces! <ouch!> Surprinsgly, the dance review of the night was Paul
McAdam's ANOTHER DAY. I loved this dance, so much it was my favorite of Windy
City 2009, when I first learned it but it did not get picked up locally or
reading elsewhere. The in-house review was great and everyone had it - kudos to
Fred and Mecky! Debbie and Ruby would be proud that the OH RUBY version played
allowed us to squeeze in an extra A & B phrase! Another JG request was
Guyton's IMMA BE. Because we all had only bits and pieces, we're-gonna-be
re-looking at the stepsheet! Thanks all for a great Friday night.
Saturday a gang full of dancers piled into "ole blue" and headed for Long
Island City, NY for a day of dancing with the Outer Rim. Slowly but surely the
dancers piled in as classic songs and dances were playing, for some, like us, in
preparation for JJ Jam Classic. Spinning POT OF GOLD, ANOTHER QUICKIE, RAZOR
SHARP, HIDEAWAY CHA, and CRABBUCKIT (remember to syncopate weave to the
*right*), were fun to bring back. For those like me, this is what I have to
brush up on over the next two weeks! Who else is joining me at this time machine
event? Once the dancers started spilling in, we moved forward some years dancing
GIVE IT BACK, IMAGINATION, KEEP IT REAL (it was quite fake), and PUCKER UP (our
lips needed chap stick). Advancing to today, the request hour included IMMA
(bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz), TROUBLE IS, AMERICAN COWBOY, STROBE LIGHTS, STUPID IN LOVE,
LATIN CRAZY, HANDS UP. Lessons included my favorite dance JG called STOKED,
2010's new SHADES dance called SUNGLASSES, and cha-cha'ing around a loving heart
called CORAZON CHA. All were played and reviewed throughout the night, and well
received by all. Still going strong are FAITH AND DESIRE, NO SALVATION, HAVE I
TOLD YOU LATELY?, IF I COULD CHANGE, SENTIMENTAL, BEAUTIFUL, BASHA, NY CHA,
QUARTER AFTER ONE, MOONLIGHT MADNESS, SWING-N-CHA. Dinner and desert were
exceptional by Chef Mike and assistant Nick. To compensate for the environment
and weather, the all-ngiht fruit salad bar was perfect.
Now traveling south on NJ Turnpike to return to
DC!

SUBJECT: CARIBBEAN CRUISE JANUARY
2011
Have you ever dreamt of sailing across the sun soaked seas of the
Caribbean, have you ever thought about dancing under a starlit sky, ever thought
about having the best ever holiday of a lifetime and not only that enjoying your
‘passion’ at the same time well we, Alison & Peter, can offer you all of
this and more.
We are setting sail for our 4th Line Dance Cruise to the sun soaked seas of
the Caribbean in January 2011, our ship the Norwegian Sun departs from Port
Canaveral on the 8th calling at Cozumel, Mexico; Santo Tomas de Castilla,
Guatamala; Belize City, Belize and Key West, Florida.
We not only have the excellence of all this cruise ship and these exotic
islands can offer we also have the benefit of dedicated dance rooms for both our
evening dances and workshops, I say workshops but everything on our cruises is
relaxing and stress free and themed for us all to have ‘Fun in the Sun’.
If you like to cruise, if it is your first ever thought to cruise and if
your ‘passion’ is to dance then you might like to consider joining us for our
4th Line Dance cruise on board the Norwegian Sun. This is an informal
cruise so that you can just concentrate on doing ‘your’ thing and making the
most of what is a great way to holiday and make new friends. I took my first
ever cruise 3 years ago and fell in love with being on board these luxurious
cruise ships, they certainly know how to take care of all their guests, you feel
like royalty, with that and the added benefit on many hours of line dancing
‘pure heaven’.
For all the information about our cruise and all the other events we are
hosting during 2010/2011 please visit our web site
www.thedancefactoryuk.co.uk where
you can download all the flyers and registration forms or you can call email or
call direct and I will be more than happy to help!
Happy dancing and look forward to hearing from you.
Hi everybody,
With the World championship coming up the soccer-madness is colouring our
streets. People decorate their houses with all kind of orange-colour stuff. You
can even win prices or get newspaper-attention for the most extreme decorated
street!
Also learned two dances on “Africa-vibe” songs. Esmeralda vd Pol wrote a
great dance to Waka Waka by Shakira and Ria Vos came up with a little fundance
to music by Dr. Victor. Still don’t understand all the words he sings but what I
hear makes me smile J.
Greatest linedance news for me was that Maggie Gallagher is coming to
Holland. Thank you Jo for organising workshop & party on September 18th .
I’m really looking forward to it.
New dances:
QUITTER by Maggie Gallagher to music Quitter by Carrie Underwood.
64cts/4W/Beg.
MAMBOSA by Ria Vos to music We Se Kind Is Jy by Dr. Victor.
32cts/4W/Beg.Int. dance As I wrote a little easy dance to great happy-feeling
music.
WAKA WAKA 2010 by Esmeralda v.d. Pol to music Waka Waka by Shakira. A
phrased dance 32 & 16 cts./2W/Imp. I just love the arm-moves in it. Dance is
getting a lot of international attention. You can see for yourself by watching
the video on her site:
www.sundancers.nl
JUST WALK AWAY by Robbie McGowan Hickie to music Walking Away by Sibel,
64cts/4W/Int.
TIME TO PLAY by Peter & Alison to music Hit The Floor by Big Ali Ft.
Dollarman, 48cts/4W/easy Int.
FAITH & DESIRE by Johanna Branes to music Come On Get Higher by Matt
Nathanson.
32 cts./4W/Int. Just love the music but I’m not really a “bodyroll”
type, just try to make the best out of it LOL.
KNEE DEEP by Adrian Churm to music Wade In The Water by Eva Cassidy. 64
cts./4W/Int. Music is not my first choice but the dance flows really well on
it.
LATIN CRAZY by Dee Musk (and Fred, Craig and Vivienne) to music I’m Crazy
by DJ Bobo. 64cts./4W/Int. Great dance with lots of Latin moves/steps. I try not
to sing along with the chorus. J
WHAT THEY SAY by Roy Verdonk & Wil Bos to a smooth country track That’s
What They Say About The Buffalo. 32 cts./4W/Beg.Int.
Recaps and dances:

brought their beginner dancers to dance the night away to Covered in Kisses,
Hippy Dippy Mambo, Ride 'Em Cowboy, French Girl Shuffle, Chica Boom Boom,
Country As Can Be, Good Times, Mamma Maria, Electric Slide, and many more.
I taught Where I Belong (Maggie Gallagher), Alright Girl (Frank Trace) and
Redneck Rock & Roll (Lindy Bowers & Karen Richie). The dance floor
was full, the noise level was loud, and there were lots of smiling faces letting
me know that a good time was had by all. The next Dancers Night Out will
