Subject: Saturday Night Show at WDM in England (How it comes together for the amazing results)

Posted by Nicola Helen

Saturday night show at #WDM26!
To say we are blown away by all the comments and posts is an understatement. What starts off as a tiny idea turns into a massive production, and I can never quite believe we manage to pull it off.
The choreography team (Fred, Shane, Hadisubroto Roy, Jessica, Fiona and I) all get together around Easter and figure out the structure, pick the music and choreograph the group routines. We then send out the choreography to the team and they get to work. Roy cuts and edits all the music and adds in special effects to emphasise the dancing in the way only he can.
This year, the amazing Stevenson Jen, Layla and Lauren choreographed the combined girls routine, and all the soloists created their own wonderful performances for the show. Rachael worked with all the social instructors and Allstars Gems competitors to get their section ready and they did a fantastic job.
Jessie and Sam work incredibly hard on all the videos for the show and what they created this year was beyond special. It takes the show to a whole new level.
The team get together for the first time on the Wednesday, and by some miracle, we manage to get the show together for the Saturday night, thanks to everyone’s talent and hard work. We truly have the best and hardest working team in the world, #CountryVive. Thank you to every single one of you.
If you missed the show, you can watch Ancient Greece: Thunder vs Underworld at the attached link! Now to think about next year…

  

If you haven't had a chance to see the show done at WDM 2026 in England, you are missing a treat. Here are just a few videos of the show and also other highlights of the weekend that Jessie Chan has shared. Thank you so much, Jessie, and thanks to all the other people who shared videos from this amazing weekend.

From: Carol Craven

 

Pinellas County Monday Int/Adv Line Dance Class

Price: $10          

Time: 6:30 to 8:30  PM

Location:

District Dance Academy

11141 US HWY 19

Suite 204

Clearwater, FL 33760 

Class Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/pinellascountydanceclass

I post the dances we do each week and you can see if you know some of them.  We usually do a new teach each week, a complete review the following week, and then we dance the newest dances for 4-5 weeks and the rest are requests from the class.  Try your first class for FREE!

 

(We will be celebrating four birthdays in August this Monday – Rita, Neil, Shannon, and Cheryl Hurlbert.  I hope Cheryl and Neil will be able to make an appearance because they are both going through medical procedures and we miss seeing them.  There will be a small class on Monday 8/17 because a lot of the class will be going to Ireland to dance with Gary O’Reilly so I will be cancelling 8/24 and 8/31 until they get back.  Have a great trip, everyone!
