Another great workshop in Deerfield Beach this weekend! Friday night social, Saturday workshop, Saturday night social! We had three carloads of people there! It was Robi’s first overnight - so fun to see the awe and amazement (just like a kid at Christmas!).
Scott taught 3 new dances and 1 classic.
Gypsy in the Night (music Roots)
I Won’t Let You down (music same name) with Deb Rushton
Lil lMama (music same name) with Jo Thompson Szymanski
Classic: Coochie Bang Bang
All 3 dances were great! All will probably be taught - WHEN is the question as this weekend came right on the heels of the Xperience which came right on the heels of Tampa (Hiillsborough Celebration) which all come right before Rachael... followed by our own workshop with Cody Flowers!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!

Hillsborough County Line Dance Celebration
This year’s Celebration was held on Saturday, Feb. 10 at the Northdale Rec Center in North Tampa. (And for next year, I need to remember that the drive takes just under 3 hours! For a 9:30 start, we don’t need to leave before 6:30am!
Lots of people in attendance - lots of great dancing! We had six of us (Cheri didn’t come along as she was still battling a cold) - Colette (who did all the driving!), Robi, Karen, Kathy, Terry, and I. Jutta and Marie were there as well - along with plenty of dancers that we know from all over Florida.
The classes I took were:
Sheri teaching Ria Vos’ “Tearing Us Apart” (a winnner for everyone who atttended!), Marilyn teaching Gary Lafferty’s “A Thousand Stars”, Andrew & Sheila Palmer’s “Sleepy Eyes”, and Maggie Gallagher’s “Tightrope”. A Thousand Stars and Sleepy Eyes will work well for Thursday. Tightrope is an awesome waltz! I peeked in on Lynda Licht’s teach of “Perfect” to make sure I was doing it right - only to break her concentration and had to help her out of a counting jam... and then attended Lynda’s teach on Jo Thompson Szymanski & Maddison Glover’s dance “Pull You Through” (which Deb had taught on Thursday so it wasn’t brand new...) - another good dance. Everything I took will work well in one class or another! It just may be a bit before anyone sees them.... we leave for New Orleans on the heels of this - and there will be plenty more coming out of there! Woofda!
