SUBJECT:  TAMPA BAY LINE DANCE CLASSIC REPORT, PICTURES, VIDEOS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS NOW ONLINE!!
 
 
***************
SUBJECT:  TUESDAY NIGHT INT-ADV CLASS TONIGHT!!
 
Hello Everyone!
 
     Is it just me or has this past week and weekend just flown by right before my eyes!!
     I am so excited about our Tuesday class this week with all the new faces we will see and all the new dances that we saw or learned from the Tampa Event!
It seems like since so many of us attended the Tampa Event  from our class we can almost start fresh with new dances and just review the older ones if needed. It's like the start of a new year! :o)!!!
      I have recieved quite an input on what dances you all liked and what  you want to teach or be taught  but I would like to hear more!!!! We all need to work together to help make our dances in our class suitable for just about everyone! We will still have our Beg-Int to our Int dances and if there is a straight Beg that has great music and is popular that will be taught along with a Int-Adv !
      All new dances requested in our class so far have been requested by at least one person and not chosen out or random and I plan on keeping it that way but with all the new dances that were taught in Tampa we might have to be a bit pickier on some! Just because a dance is taught doesn't mean we all have to like it but someone in our class does and they deserve our attention just like the ones we all love!
    Remember our class hours are 6:30 to 10:00 or 10:30. From 6:30 to 7:30 we will have open dancing with a new teach included every other week or so!
New teach and review this Tuesday  at 7 will be Carol teaching Why Did You Lie.

Would really appreciate it if someone could send tell me where to find the song for the dance BEAUTIFUL TENA.  Song is called Beautiful Tena - Igor Cakrov.
 
I can't get it on Itunes Canada.  They don't have it yet. Such a beautiful song and dance.
 
Thanks so much.

SUBJECT: M.O.L.D. II Event in Lawrence, MA
FROM: Dee G. deel...@gmail.com
 
Just got back from the Men Of Line Dance (M.O.L.D.) event this weekend.  It was held at The Claddagh Pub in Lawrence, MA.  This event was put on by Billy-Bob's, which is Bill Gibson and Bob Grundy.  The event helped to raise funds for The St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.  This was a great dance event and the pub was a great place to dance.  A large dance floor upstairs, this was the main floor, and a smaller dance floor downstairs.  Lunch (sandwiches and soup) and dinner (roast pork, veggies, salad, and bread) were included in the price of the event.  Not only did MOLD stand for Men Of Line Dance, but it also stands for Mostly Old Line Dances.  All the dances at this event (which were chosen by the attendees) had to be at least 5 years old or older.  I learned SYNCOPATIONS, taught by Bob Grundy.  This is a dance I see all the time because they still dance it in my area (SW Connecticut/Westchester County, NY).  I also learned POWER SURGE, taught by "Wildman" Louis St. George.  Doing this dance, which goes to faster music, was much easier at a faster pace.  Loved this dance!  Next up was SXE, taught by Christopher Petre.  Another fun dance with some very sexy moves in it, which is always fun!  Christopher also gave us a bonus teach of his new dance with John Robinson and Junior Willis - ICU.  An awesome dance that everyone seemed to enjoy.  Another bonus teach came from Bob Grundy himself - a dance that was choreographed by Bob Grundy and Dave Sickles (another of the MOLD event instructors).  The Dance, ME AND BOBBY, goes to a remake of the Janis Joplin hit, Me and Bobby McGee - cute dance!  We had a great day of learning and a great night of dancing!  The pub downstairs had a vast variety of drinks including Irish Coffee, and of course, Guinness!  I would go back here again!!!

SUBJECT:  SUNDAY OUT WITH BIG DAVE
 
We had a great afternoon with Alan 'Up-North' on Sunday afternoon - Thanks very much to Alan & Jackie for coming over to see us - Alan did us proud with a good mix of dances during the afternoon -----
 
 
-Waiting For You - A nice slow Improver Two-Step to a catchy track Candy by Paolo Nutini
 
-Preachin' To The Choir - A classic country Two-Step to a great Rodney Crowell track
 
-Questions & Answers - The hardest of the day but well cracked by all the mixed crowd - A cracking track by 'Ben's Brother' which was especially popular - A really cool/smooth West Coast beat I think
 
-Real Late Starter - Alan's latest release - A phrased A/B Intermediate that hits the catchy pop beat really well - Should be a great mainstream hit this one - Don't be put off by the phrasing
 
 
Most of the dancers mentioned one or more of these when I was chatting at the end, so I'll be leaning all of them to carry forward in classes - I particularly liked Real Late Starter myself. 
 
With Wave On Wave a 'blast from the past' in the Linedancer Mag, we had a quick recap of that - By request Alan also obliged with a recap of Maggie's Sexy Chick ........ And over the afternoon I also did quick recaps of Straight Thru, Pop, Lock & Drop, Nitty Gritty, Mambotastic & All I Want Is You - Recent teaches in the area & all really popular.
 
I also taught Craig's new one Hands Up as a starter for the afternoon - A cool easy dance to a great track - Well received at Tampa last weekend - And I will be doing it in classes this week amongst others.
 
In social dancing the most popular was Craig's Playing With Fire, which he taught when he was at out last Sunday-Out back in September - Evacuate The Dancefloor too - Ria's Ay Amore, Neville/Julie's Can't Get Involved & Jo/John/Mark's Hell If I were all notable floor-fillers - All the obvious ones too including Robbie's Mexicali/Scooby Doo/What Do You See/Go Mama Go, Sister Kate, Release Me, Time To Swing, Just Dance Away, Coochie Bang Bang, For The First Time, Jesse James etc..

SUBJECT: Dances taught by Julie Murray in Folkestone in the UK!
Email: juliean...@msn.com
 
Hi there!
 
As the winter season approaches here in the UK - the thoughts of parties are on our minds, and all thoughts of learning lots of hard dances fades away from us in favour of dances that are easy to teach/learn at our Christmas Parties and in classes during the lead up to the Christmas break! 
 
So during our recent weekend break to Folkestone I taught the following dances - all were incredibly well received and well worth a look for dancers of all levels, not just improvers.....
 
NO TAGS/RESTARTS/OR ANY SORT OF MONKEY BUSINESS IN ANY OF THE DANCES BELOW!!
 
NOTHING'S GONNA BRING ME DOWN - RIA VOS - 32 counts written to Paolo Nutini's fab song 'Pencil full of lead'
 
TUPSY TURVY - SANDRA SPECK - 62 counts written to Upside Down by Paloma Faith - this dance is taking off over here big time and is a nice easy teach too!
 
CASANOVA COWBOY - BY ROB FOWLER - 32 counts written to Cowboy Casanova by Carrie Underwood - this is a slightly trickier dance that pleased the intermediates, and gave the improvers a real challenge.
 
THINK I'M FALLING - BY JUSTINE BROWN - one of our lesser known UK choreographers - this is a lovely dance for your beginners to get their teeth into - written to Think I'm Falling In love by  Harrison County - you can get this as a free download via this website www.hotlinedance.co.uk 
 
A harder dance was included in the weekend by request from a few of my dancers, only 32 counts but a three wall dance with the tag being the same on each fourth wall! This was previously taught at the Viking Party and is a hit with the funky music lovers! well worth a look!
 
TIME TO PLAY - BY PETER AND ALISON - to Hit the Floor by Big Ali ft Dollarman - you need the 3 minute version of this song..
 
Thats its for now folks - especially if you are in the UK during these torrential downpours and gales we are having!

SUBJECT:    SALE  OF THE TAMPA BAY LINE DANCE CLASSIC!!
FROM:    ARLINE  WINERMAN
LuvToDa...@webtv.net
 
I  am  hearing  all kinds  of rumors that  have  been going around about  the sale of my   Tampa  event.
 
I  wish people would  ask me before starting  rumors   that  are false  or inaccurate.       Makes for   some  uncomfortable  moments.
 
Here  is  the  TRUTH: 
 
TAMPA  HAS  NOT  BEEN  SOLD YET.      I  HAVE  REPEATEDLY  SAID  THAT  I  WILL MAKE  A DECISION IN DECEMBER AND MAKE  THE ANNOUNCEMENT IN  JAN.   2010.        
 
I  STILL OWN  THE  EVENT AND WILL RUN   IT  AS  I  ALWAYs  HAVE  FOR   2010.     THE NEW   DIRECTORS  WILL  BEGIN  OWNERSHIP  IN  2011. 
 
There  are six  people  at the moment  who  are interested  and two  who  casually  made  a   mention  to  me   during  the   weekend.       So   NO   decision as yet!
 
Please  -  everyone -  stop   spreading  unfounded  rumors  until    I make my  announcement  in   Jan.     Thanks  so much  for  your understanding   and  cooperation.         I  will  never  understand  how  all   this  "stuff"    gets   going around.
 
Luv -   Arline

SUBJECT: TIM GILLIS DANCE WEEKEND in Ellenville, NY
FROM: MSP
 
Thank you Tim Gillis for hosting such a fun-filled event at the 
Honor's Haven Resort in NY. And what a bargain: a beautiful room, 
meals galore, workshops, performances, demos, dj's, karaoke, a live 
band and non-stop dancing for one price - for a long weekend! More 
food than you could imagine. In addition to 3 regular meals a day 
there was a late night continental breakfast plus a late night ice 
cream sundae party and dancing, dancing, dancing. It was like a being 
on a cruise - without the ocean and the ship!
 
The Honor's Haven Resort had dance floors in the lower lobby, the main 
lobby, the dining room (with a view of the golf course and mountains 
that is amazing) and a large room called The West Room complete with 
stage as well - not to mention a dance floor in the Karaoke Bar; and 
of course, there was the main Nightclub with stage, audience seating 
and dance floor. My room was quite comfy and large enough to even 
practice some dances in the room.
 
A few favorite classes from my new intermediate level adventures:
Syncopated Kiss (taught by Forty Arroyo, choreographed by Forty)
If I Could Change (taught by Rona Kaye, ch. by Ruben Luna - Rona is a 
new teacher for me in my dance experience and she is great - Thank you 
Rona.)
Trust Me (a classic taught by Rosie Multari, ch. by Geri Morrison and 
Rosie put together a fabulous 70's show put on by the instructors and 
other staff members. More about the show in another newsletter 
hopefully....)
 
A big highlight was the Tim Gillis Band. Great fun to hear and see 
them on stage and dance to their music after hearing so much about 
them from my dance buddies. Check 'em out if you don't know them...www.timgillisband.com/index.htm
.
 
I particularly enjoyed one of the vocalists in the band, Judy Ricci. 
She is excellent at drawing the crowd into participation. She came out 
on the dance floor - danced with us while she sang - encouraging 
everyone to just let it hang and have some fun. She has a powerful 
voice and a charming warmth. Thank you Judy! And love that Tim - I 
especially love it when he gets in to his "Elvis" voice!!!!!!!!
 
Intense dancing (just ask my feet) but in a very relaxed atmosphere in 
comfortable surroundings. Get your booty to a Tim Gillis Dance Weekend 
in April and/or November. You will not regret it.
 
Blessings to all!

SUBJECT:  RE:  JJ JAM 2009 & PIPESTEM LINE DANCE WEEKEND
FROM:  ALICE DAUGHERTY/TIM HAND
E-MAIL:  Bigalof...@aol.com
 
Well we had an excellent time once again at the JJ Jam hosted by Chris John and John Robinson this past weekend in Indianapolis, IN.  I'm telling you and I've said it before if you do not have their event on your calendar you are missing out on one fun weekend.  This was our 3rd JJ Jam and we have had a blast each time.   Chris and John goes that extra mile just to assure the dancers and their staff has an excellent time and that we did.  Now we all know how much fun we can have with Funny Lady JoAnne Brady, You Never Know What She Will Say Jamie Marshall, and So Sweat Karen Hedges and then of course we can't forget the guys, shake that butt vine to the right Junior Willis who we all just love to watch from behind, oh did I just say that oh well like he hasn't heard it before, then add Cato Larsen who we met at the first JJ Jam and just as sweet as he can be with that little smile he has and now add Craig Bennett which this was our first time really getting to meet and talk with Craig, but now I can add him to my cute as a button list and then we add Michele Burton and Michael Barr which we all love and have so much fun with and you had an excellent staff of instructors and a lot of great dances taught for all levels.  Dancing at night was excellent with everybody from our new dancers to the most experienced dancers getting to dance.  Everyone I talked to had no complaints, when I ask what dances they liked everyone just said there were so many.  I have to say the biggest laugh from the weekend was when John and we can't forget John Robinson, but then we all know John and you know you never know what he will do, but you know you will have a lot of laughs and a good time, but this one class he was teaching he stopped to introduce all of the vendors and when he introduced Jamie Marshall's table and she was actually in the other room teaching and missed what was going on, but Jill Babinec ran over to Jamie's Table put some T-Shirts in her shirt and filled in for Jamie, it was too funny!  The room was laughing so hard including John.  Then we had Craig Bennett who had 2 girls wearing shirts that they are now Craig's dancers and Junior Willis's junkies and that was too funny when they walked in the room where Junior was actually teaching.  The dinner Saturday night with the instructors was just a laugh a minute.  This time we played dance Charades with each instructor given a list of line dances and their table had to guess the names and some of the things the instructors came up with trying to describe these dances was just too funny!  This is why I say if you attend you really need to attend the dinner, it is a little extra cost but between the meal and the laughs it is well worth the extra cost.   They will be having their next event June 17th-20th and you really should mark it on your calendar and make plans to join them and remember register early for any event you attend because that really helps our event directors to prepare for the event and we do want everyone to continue having their events so we can have great weekends of dancing like this and many others.
 
PIPESTEM LINE DANCE WEEKEND-Coming this weekend Nov 20th-22nd in Pipestem, West Virginia.  It's not too late to join us for a great weekend of dancing at the beautiful mountains of West Virginia at  Pipestem State Park.  Beautiful views from your rooms and the ballroom.  We will start Friday night at 7:00 p.m. with Meet and Greet followed by lessons until 9:00 and then Open Dancing.  Saturday we will have lessons from 1:00 till 4:00 p.m.  Dinner at 5:30 in the BlueStone Dinning Room which is included with your pass for the weekend, back at 8:00 p.m. for open dancing and reviews.  Cash Bar on Saturday Night also.  Sunday sleep in check out at Noon.  We are your DJs and Instructors for this weekend and we do teach Beginner & Intermediate Levels so something for everyone. You can go to www.pipestemresort.com for more information or contact us at bigalof...@aol.com.  This is a great relaxing weekend before the holidays start.  The price is $199.90 plus tax for 2 nights lodging, dinner for 2 on Saturday, workshop pass and step sheets.  The rooms are booked Double Occupancy, but if you have any questions regarding the rooms and the cost you can reach Shirley Martin with the State Park at 304-466-1800 X379.  We hope to see you!  Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via e-mail or call 502-643-2786.  Remember, any time you are traveling through Louisville, KY e-mail us and stop by and dance with us on Friday Nights, some special parties on Saturday nights throughout the year.

SUBJECT:  FEEDBACK ON USING A LAPTOP FOR LESSONS
 

I posted a thread on the Sunday World Linedance newsletter - I wanted help with changing my CD and CD player to ipod or laptop to use for classes so I dont have as much to carry.   I have been teaching linedance for 15 years and back then there were no such things as laptops and ipods! How things have changed.
I have had lots of enquiries from other instructors, but mostly they are like me and dont know too much about computers (one lady is still using tapes) and are nervous of trying something new but would like to know the ins and outs of an easier system. 
They all want me to forward any help and advice I get - which I dont mind doing - but I havent had any definite help yet.
I wondered if it would be possible for you to put an article about it on the world linedance website? Perhaps you know an instructor who actually uses a laptop or ipod for classes and would be willing to do this?
I know I would be very grateful for any help you could give, but also I know it is another job for you and you already do so much.
Would like to know what you think.
Regards

I'm confused, but it isn't the first and won't be the last time.  I hope someone will please explain (in the newsletter, just in case anybody else also wonders) what the term "boot camp" means when it's associated with a line dance event.  Thanks.

Subject: Thanks To All Who Attended the Tim Gillis Weekend
From: Lynne Martino, Wis...@aol.com, www.lynnesdancecrew.com
From the bottom of my heart I want to thank all of the wonderful dancers who attended last weekend's Tim Gillis Fall Dance Weekend. We had a ball, didn't we? It's great seeing all of my friends from every corner of the northeast and beyond.  And to my new friends from Connecticut, welcome and I truly hope to see you in the Spring(April 23-25).  The entire staff once again will put all of their effort into making your weekend the best for dancing country couples, beginner and alternative/country intermediate/advanced dancing. We'll have it all! 
Lynne M.
