Monday 11/12.  I sent the newsletter before I left on Sunday but it got returned so you'll have lots to read today. 
 
 
 
SUBJECT: Dance News from Orlando, FL USA
FROM: Sandy Albano
NEW EMAIL: sandy....@gmail.com (new email as of May 2011)
WEBSITE: www.spreadyourwingsanddance.com
 
Just wanted to take a minute to echo the words of others who attended the Tampa Bay Line Dance event and say what a great time we had!  Jen and Jason have the whole event thing down to a science and as far as anyone can tell, everything went off perfectly.  And what a joy to see Arline again, back on her feet, actually teaching dances and looking better than she has any right to do, given what she has been through in the last few months.  She is surely a trooper and it was a pleasure to watch her work the crowd the way she always has.  Welcome back, Arline!
 
I was honored to be a part of this and had such a great time teaching Niels Poulsen's magnificent NC2, HEAVY ON MY HEART as well as Ria Vos' hot new pop one, SOUL FIRE!  If you haven't seen these dances, I hope you will take a look!  Thanks to all of you who managed to drag yourselves out of bed at 9am on both days to join me!  I really appreciate you!
 
As anyone who reads Carol's newsletter knows, Simon Ward not only stole the show, but almost the entire weekend at Tampa.  The crazy blonde "Hairspray" video from Saturday night may become the classic event video of all time!  The man is out of his head most of the time, but has got to be one of the most fun people I know.  We are so excited that he will be joining his pals Joey Warren and Craig Bennett (other fun guys who are also out of their heads) on March 7-10, 2013 for the EXPERIENCE 2013 in Orlando, FL.  As if that weren't enough, we also have Ria Vos (who is just on fire right now with her dances!), Guyton Mundy, Shaz Walton, Dan McInerney and we are keeping our fingers crossed for Debbie McWotzit and the little "Sheila bump".  We are hopeful this may be her little baby debut, but no promises just yet!
 
BY THE WAY:  If you picked up a flyer for the EXPERIENCE 2013 at Tampa, please check to see that you have the correct one.  We discovered that there were a handful of the old flyers with the wrong date mixed in.  The correct dates are March 7 through 10, 2013 and our headliners are the people I mentioned above.  If you have one that is not this date or not these people, throw it away and write me for a new one!!
 
AND FINALLY:  Thanks to all of you who have written me to tell me that my website is not working correctly.  I am so acutely aware of this and not very happy about it either.  I appreciate hearing from so many of you that you look at the site often to see what we are doing and I hope to get myself back on track again very soon.  Thanks for your patience in the meantime!!
 
More Later,
Sandy

SUBJECT:  DANCE REVIEWS
FROM:  JANIS
 
Dances Taught recently:
From:  janis....@ntlworld.com
 
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING – Timothy To & Theresina Tam
 
64 count, 4 wall improver dance – 3 restarts
 
Music:  Simply Beautiful by The Lennerockers
 
 
At last I have found an alternative to that fab little dance MY NEW LIFE, this one also by the same group.  The restarts are all in the same place, after the Monterey turns, although the second one does not turn.  Is it called a Monterey if it does not turn, I ask myself.  Face the front, lets do that bit again, no lets go from the back, no changed my mind.  How to annoy your class, naughty me.  I do like dancing this one and it will make a nice change so hope the bands pick it up.
 
 
 
THE BELLE OF LIVERPOOL – Audrey Watson
 
64 count, 2 wall easy intermediate dance – tag free
 
Music:  The Belle of Liverpool by Derek Ryan
 
 
Oooh Audrey, what a wee cracker of a dance!  Fairly bobs along quite happily, nippier than you expect and I think we are really going to enjoy this one.  The sort of music that makes you want to jig about, so sod the dance and just jig.  Gets your feet tapping as soon as the first notes penetrate your delicate little ear drums.  To be sure it does.
 
 
 
MEXICOMA – Robbie McGowan Hickie
 
64 count, 2 wall intermediate line dance – tag on the pop alternative but not on the country track which I just love!  Actually think I prefer the pop version on this one.
 
Music:  Mexicoma (aka The Daffodil Dance 2013) by Bucky Covington
 
Or Your Captain Tonight (Radio Edit, I might add) by Elena
 
There is also an Improver dance called BLANKETY BLANK to the same 2 tracks with another 6 doz alternatives to choose from.
 
Maybe to take in a dancer’s preference we should hold a SILENT DISCO, give everyone some headphones as they arrive, and they can all tune in to their own choice of music, the DJ can put his feet up, and provided everyone starts at the same time, it could work, do you think?  Would make a wonderful video……….
 
Just when I was thinking he had moved to Planet Zog, up pop some fabulous dances as we have come to expect from Mr H.  Just like a double decker bus, they come in sixes!  He is soooooo meanie keeping them from us, not that I would say lol.
 
 
 
LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME – Frank Trace
 
64 count, 2 wall easy intermediate dance – tag free (music to my ears)
 
Music:  Love Me Or Leave Me by Rod Stewart
 
 
Don’t like Rod Stewart but I do like this, must be mellowing in his senior years.  Dance flows along really well and it is most enjoyable.  Stroll to finish – I think everyone would like to just stroll rather than start again.
 
 
 
HELELE – Peter & Alison
 
64 count, 2 wall intermediate dance, 2 tags and 2 restarts
 
Music: Helelelelelelelelelelele by Helele
 
 
Love the music and the Zulu feel to it (what do I know about that?!) but the drum section is sooooo good to dance to.  Some of the footwork a bit fiddly to start with but once done a few times works well to the music.  The restarts are obvious but you need to practice it a bit.
 
 
 
WINNERS & LOSES – Diana Dawson
 
64 count, 4 wall  Improver dance – tag free
 
Music:  The Losing Side of Me by The Mavericks
 
 
Adore The Mavericks so had to teach this one (and sing, ssshhhhh!)
 
I call this one the hitch and paddle dance, very enjoyable.
 
 
 
IMELDA’s WAY – Adrian Churn
 
32 count, 4 wall Beginner/Improver – tag free
 
Great track and the dance fits really well that it is a pleasure to dance it.  Some will do the hand on head bit at the end and some won’t but it does go well.  Have even been known to do a sneaky one when they are all facing the back!
 
 
 
 
ALL MY PEOPLE – Maggie Gallagher
 
64 count, 4 wall intermediate dance – 1 restart (actually I think you need an “&” step here to restart - tut tut Maggie!) + one 12 count tag
 
Music:  All My People (Radio Edit) by Sasha Lopez
 
 
It’s like picking the petals off a daisy chain – No, I won’t teach it, yes, I will teach it, no, I won’t……..   Yes I will!  Love the music although it is quicker than you think with a funky feel to it.  What put me off was the first steps with a heel tap across which I found hard to do but practice and a token heel across (think I would prefer a touch!) made the difference and I really enjoyed it.
 
 
 
WOM BOM BOM – Craig Bennett & Paul Tarmac
 
64 count, 2 wall fun intermediate dance
 
Music:  Wom Bom Bom by Sam And The Womp
 
 
Hooray for demos on line and it is great to see the choreographers dancing their own dance.  Not that we can do it like these two but we had fun learning it.  Taught also on our holiday in Spain, Charlotte Macari made it even more fun.  Her body roll is a sit, bum, chest which sort of works or you can just shrug or do your own interpretation of a move which is great if you are 18 but at our age, whatever next!  Now is it cross, side cross or side, cross, side or…. then a power walk then more body rolls.  Love it.  If you remember STOP IT then the start will be easy (think that must have Paul’s input!)
 
 
 
SKIFFLE TIME – Darren Bailey
 
64 count, 4 wall intermediate dance – no restarts thank goodness.
 
Music:  Skiffle Time by The Jive Aces
 
 
Fast, fun and furious and your exercise for the day.  Just loved watching Darren dance it on line as he puts his own interpretation on the dance.  I’ll slow it down to start with I said but it still went at 90 mph.  The steps are easy enough but that quick weave is a killer but so much fun or you can just have a paddy on the spot.  Really enjoying it and after teaching it at most of my classes, it is getting easier so a good workout to boot.   What’s next please Darren?!
 
 
 
BOYS WILL BE BOYS – Rachael McEnaney
 
64 count, 2 wall intermediate dance – tag free
 
Music:  Boys Will Be Boys by Paulina Rubio
 
 
Quicker than you think and choreography hits the spot.  Like the repeat synchopation.
 
 
 
SHAME ON ME – Rachael MeEnaney
 
64 count, 2 wall easy intermediate – tag free
 
Music:  Shame On Me by Ken Mellons
 
 
A bit quicker than you would expect but the dance is really good, love the kicks.  Mr M sounds a bit like old Dwighty.
 
 
 
WHERE THE WIND BLOWS – Peter & Alison
 
102 count (yep!) 1 wall intermediate dance – 2 restarts near the end
 
Music:  Where The Wind Blows by Zac Brown Band
 
 
I did not divulge how many steps as if you go over 64, negativity on the dance starts before you begin.  Teaching this one as Alan Gregory has added it to his play list although I am sure he has a Plan B up his talented sleeve!  Fairly fast so no time to think what comes next and although some of the steps are repetitive they are not in the same direction so you need a good memory or someone you can follow with it.  I really enjoyed it but can see a few walk throughs on the horizon.
 
 
 
WHO ELSE BUT YOU – Ria Vos
 
40 count, 4 wall intermediate rumba – 1 restart
 
Music: Quien Como Tu by Tamra
 
 
Nice little rumba to start a class off with to warm up.  Taught recently in Spain by Charlotte Macari, teaching it in Portsmouth does not have the same ambience as a venue overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.  I close my eyes and I am transported to the sunshine and the memories of a lovely holiday.  Oh well, always got next year to look forward to. 
 
 
 
WHEN I NEED YOU – Karl Harry-Winson
 
40 count, 4 wall waltz – tag free
 
Music:  When I Need You by Joe McElderry
 
 
We all know and love and can sing this music and it’s a nice easy dance that I am now teaching in my classes.  Love it.  Was somewhat marred by the following phrases:   Man Overboard, Captain’s Coming, Titanic, Submarines.  Someone in distress out at sea?!  Noooooooooo, Robert’s rendition of his latest Kingshill weekend where everyone responded to these phrases by either saluting, falling on the floor, swimming or pretending to be a submarine.  Funny yes, did I join in………No!  I’m sooo boring!  Mind you, try dancing to a lovely waltz and someone shouts Submarines and people fall to the floor and pretend to be one.  Phooey!   Are we adults or children?
 
 
 
PLEASE REMEMBER ME – Peter & Alison
 
24 count, 4 wall improver NC2 – 3 tags
 
Music:  Please Remember Me by Scotty McCreedy
 
 
Love the track but I have a mental block regarding the tag.  You never dance the 4th wall as it is replaced by a tag!  First time I taught it, it kept ending up as a one wall dance and I could not think how it could be until someone told me the tag was on the 4th wall, not the 1st!   What a plonker and there I was blaming the choreographers for issuing a duff step sheet!  Once sorted, delightful little dance and only 24 counts.
 
 
 
THROUGH THE FIRE – Scott Blevins & Jo Thompson Symanski
 
32 count, 4 wall intermediate dance – no tags, restarts, bridges, funnels (hmmmm is Scott feeling OK?!)  And there is a step sheet (with headings).  Double hmmmmmm! Something is afoot!
 
Music:  Through The Fire by Lina
 
 
Yeayyyyyyyyy, I can do a Scott dance and enjoy it!  Love the quirky music and how the choreography hits every beat.  Nice one.
 
 
 
CAN’T SHAKE YOU – Peter and Alison
 
64 count, 2 wall intermediate dance
 
Music:  Can’t Shake You by Gloriana
 
 
Quicker than you think and you have to listen to the music to get it to fit but I did enjoy this one.   Gloriana sounds like a pop singer rather than a country band so I was sure surprised.  Nice surprised rather than not nice surprised, I would add.   I do love country music but line dancing just has this image and you are not going to get rid of it.  Line dance = country music = yeehaa = boots and braces = Line dance!  Someone from work has just returned from Nashville.  You would have loved it they said, all the shops with all the boots in them, country singers, couldn’t tell you their names but they were great and we loved it.  When did I say that I dance only to country music with boots on?!  You mean you don’t – look of shock, horror!
 
Tks

SUBJECT:  CENTRAL FLORIDA INSTRUCTORS MEETING
FROM:  JANIS GRAVES     danc...@hotmail.com
 

We had our last meeting for this year on Saturday at the Beardall Center, Orlando, and it was a good one.  Lots of instructors came for the first time and really kept us moving to learn all the dances that were being presented for every level from beginner to intermediate/advanced.  Dances taught were Beer Money (Kathy Brackett), Wasn't That A Party (Larry Bass), Zaleilah (Ria Vos), I Wanna (Gerard Murphy, Michael Barr & Frank Trace), Full Tilt Boogie (Sheri Hurley), Grundy Gallop (Jenny Rockett), Wanna Wanna Woop (Tina Summerfield), Don't Stay (Lisa McCammon & Brenda Shatto), My 1st Waltz (Gail Smith), Where The Pavement Ends (Alison & Peter), and Honeycomb (Alison Johnson).  After all of these, we needed a break to rest our feet and brains and visited with one another.  Then we tried Beautiful Surprise (Junior Willis & Scott Schrank), Jump! (Craig Bennett), Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye (Kathy Brackett), It's The Weekend (Lynn Luccisano & John Huffman) and How You Gonna (Will Craig).  Meetings for next year are not yet scheduled, but we plan to alternate Saturdays and Sundays as well as the locations between Orange City and Orlando in the hopes that more instructors will join us for a fun afternoon.
