 It was great having so many of you with us today! And to have Tom on the dance floor again!!! Thank you for your patience as we danced in a new room today which meant I needed a bit more time to get everything set up and situated. And then, of course, Facebook didn’t like the music and thought they’d freeze us out (hah! little do they know!). And then the camera angle left a little to be desired... oh the joys! LOL!

It’s not perfect by any stretch of the imagination... and I don’t even know if the videos are worth looking at (Facebook may have muted or partially muted them because of the music licensing)... but if you join us live - it’s a whole lot of entertainment!!! You have to have a Facebook account in order to participate - if you’re interested, let me know and I’ll invite you to the group (it’s a private group because it’s just for us and I don’t want those videos out in public!) so you can have just as much fun as we did this afternoon!

Enjoy your weekend - “see” you again next week!

Baby I’m Torn

New Teaches (of which there was only going to be ONE... and then SOME of our dancers came a little early and saw a dance that the 11:30 group was doing and JUST HAD to learn it! LOL!):

Crystal Touch by Claire Bell & Maddison Glover (from the Crystal Boot Awards). 32 Count, 4 Wall, Low Improver dance to the music “Slow Hand” by Mike Ryan. The class liked this dance - it flowed so well with the music!

Welcome to 2019!!!

We had a great class today! Thanks to everyone who came! And, I’ve got some GREAT NEWS for all you beginners out there!

I’m going to start an “Introduction to Line Dance” class on Thursdays from 11:30-12:30at East Naples Community Park! We’ll start in 2 weeks - Thursday, January 17!!! Still $7. This will give folks who are interested in learning the basic line dance steps and lingo a chance to pick up the essentials and THEN move into the 1:00 class! I hope to see some of you that I haven’t seen for awhile! Spread the word!

Today’s Class:
Last Review: Little Darling (beginner)
3rd Review: Bound Ta Git Down (intermediate)

New Teaches:
Love Flow by Niels Poulsen. 32 Count, 4 Wall, Beginner dance to the music “Let Your Love Flow” by The Bellamy Brothers. This is listed as a beginner dance, but I would put it more in the Improver category due to the syncopation of the first and last sets of 8. The class did really well with this and we danced it a couple times today.

Graffiti by Karl-Harry Winson. 32 Count, 4 Wall, High Intermediate dance to the music “Never Comin Down” by Keith Urban. This dance has a 16-count tag, an 8-count tag (1/2 of the first tag) and two restarts (in different places). We worked hard at this one - and the class really liked it. We danced it twice.

What Makes You Country by Rob Holley. 32 Count, 4 Wall, Beginner dance to the music “What Makes You Country” by Luke Bryan. This dance captured 1st Place in it’s division in the choreography competition at the Florida Classic in December and is just a great beginner dance. The class liked it as well and we danced it twice.

Music is choreographed to “Beautiful Birds” by Passenger; however, I used “The Ghost Of You” because it will be a floorsplit to that dance at future socials.

And I taught Lonely Drum (Darren Mitchell) which Chris had taught on Tuesday night. 32 count, 4 wall, easy intermediate dance to the music "Lonely Drum" by Aaron Goodvin.

I was going to teach Candee Seger's "Hot Property" which took 2nd place in the newcomer/novice division at FITS (32 count, 4 wall, improver dance to the music "Hot Property" by Jamiroqual), but we just didn't have time. I did a quick walk through for those who were interested and put it on the plan for next week instead.

Thursday, July 6, 2017
Last class until August 31!!!! We took a vote - we could've danced the 17th and be off the 24th and then start again the 31st but, since there were going to be others gone on the 17th, the group opted to just wait until the 31st.

No new teaches today. But we certainly took care of several reviews!

I used this time period this week to review/teach the two favorite dances that came out of the Oldies Workshop the weekend before.

Rain Against My Window by Michael Barr. This 32-count, 4 Wall Intermediate Dance to the music "I Can't Stand The Rain" by Seal was a hit with a lot of our dancers that attended the workshop. It was good to go over it again.

Turn Me Loose by Simon Ward. This 64-count, 2 Wall Intermediate Dance to the music "Turn Me Loose" by The Young Divas was a new one to me and one that I had thoroughly enjoyed so I was glad to see that a lot of our workshop attendees also liked it!

Tuesday, September 20, 2016
I've spent some time since last Thursday's class updating my grid of dances (my tracking system of what dances are being danced when - trying to keep a good rotation of dances going that people like to dance). I've discovered some interesting facts:

From summer 2015 to summer 2016, 91 dances have been danced 5 times or less. All but two of them (Frankie Fever and No Mercy since they are both new) are going to be removed from the rotation. They just don't get requested all that often and don't need to be taking up space in my book or on my spreadsheet.

53 dances have been danced 6-10 times over the past year. 5 of these are being removed from the rotation as well - they've only been danced six times and of those six, very few are requests for a social.

Over the course of the past year, 34 dances have been danced 10-15 times. They will all remain in the rotation. A lot of them have been requested for multiple socials.

And, finally, there were 13 dances that have been danced 15 times or more over the past year.  These, too, will remain in the rotation for upcoming classes.

The summary I developed includes:

178 dances were taught/reviewed/danced over the last year.
43 new dances were taught (which averages out to 3.5 dances/month - or 1 new dance a week).

The most taught dance:  Dock Of The Bay (16 times).
Followed by Strip It Down (15 times), Foot Play (13 times), Cliche' Love Song (12 times) and Going 2 Pot (11 times).

The most requested dance at socials was Night Train with 15 times. Followed by Simplemente (14); The Bomp and I'm No Good (13);
No Vacancy, Skip The Line, and Telepathy (12); Dock Of The Bay, Come Dance With Me, I Don't Want This Night To End, and They Dance (11); and Caught In The Moonlight, Mucara Walk, Walk Alone, and Bosa Nova (10).

New Teach:  Move Like You Do by Trevor Thornton and Jamie Marshall. A 32-count, 4-wall improver dance to the music "Move" by Luke Bryan. The class worked really hard and did a good job picking this up. We'll continue to work on it next week. I think the pace/speed of the dance had them a little nervous - but by the end of the second time around, it was coming along easier!

REMINDER! No class next week!

This is pretty discouraging... I had some blip and everything I had on this page is gone. Not that I've ever gone back and looked at anything... But still - that's quite a history of Thursday classes that is just... Gone.

Huh.

Anyway.

Today's class I tried something new. I've cut a lot of songs so they are just four rotations of the dance and have put them in their own playlist that I can just "shuffle". So, our warm up today consisted of Dock Of The Bay, I Don't Want This Night To End, Ex's And Oh's, and I'm In Love With You as just 4-rotation dances (we also had Stitches, but I didn't cut that one correctly so it doesn't count!).

Dances reviewed today:
Rock And Roll Music
Judge Not
High On Loving You
Never Ever Go Away
Foot Play
Beautiful Goodbye
Well Do Ya?
I Got It Easy
Love Contract

Dances "Just Danced":

Half Past Nothin'

See everyone on Thursday, July 21!
