1049512 rob ad dps gold 2 2/5/08, 1:17:34 pm RADIO ON LINE www.cobcms.com The Internet at best is the biggest resource for information and all at the touch of a button. Erik Kamphuis from Olzendaal in the Netherlands recently contacted Linedancer about a site sure to answer many a country music fan’s dream.

Radio on the Internet always seemed a strange idea and yet there are literally hundreds of stations which have embraced the 21st century by having their programs streamed for all to listen to. But because there are so many to choose from, surfers simply don’t know what is on offer and how to access it.

Erik told us about a website which we thought was so great that we simply had to share it with you. www.cobcms.com is an absolutely amazing collection, all on one page, of dedicated country radio stations. From Bluegrass to oldies, Cajun, Hillbilly and Te x Mex and of course Modern country, all genres are represented.

This is an international site and so it is not just the USA that gets a good airing but European countries and places like Australia, Canada, Japan and net based stations are all represented.

There is a possibility to view video clips as well as a link page with some Line dance information. You will be able to view clips by Alan Jackson, Alison Krauss, Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban to name but a few.

The home page interface is simple to use and each station title gives you a clear indication of what you will need in terms of players. As far as we can see, everything is in good order and we think it is vital for Country music lovers to use this facility to ensure it is here to stay.

So why not pay a visit to this great site today and place it in your favourites. Oh and yes…Tell your friends, they will love www.cobcms.com!

Christmas on the beach

Deep South in Tenterden, dancers decided to have their festive party in January... And what better way to liven up the dull month than by holding a Beach Party? Anne Alexander says: “Our shy and retiring girls found it difﬁ cult to throw themselves into this (not) as you can see from the photo. The good news was the whale didn’t dance!”

Line dance has many names which are instantly recognisable and Benny Ray is one of them. With dances, instructional DVDs and worldwide fame, he is an international dancer. Here is his story in the third of our profiles so far….

Hi, my name is Benny Ray, this is my story so far….

I am 33 years old, and I was born and raised in Randers, the ﬁ fth largest city in Denmark, where I still live today.

As a kid, I was very much into sports, always playing soccer, basketball, badminton and table tennis. In school I loved to read and write, and always thought that I would one day become a famous science ﬁ ction author.

In 1995 I ﬁ nished school, and spent a year in the military, where I quickly landed a job that included writing articles and doing photography for the military base’s magazine, plus other administrative duties. My work there earned me the ﬁ nest grade attainable, the A1 mark which is only given to a select few.

It was around this time, that we got CMT on cable and I discovered new country music, and once in a while I would watch a certain music and dance show taped at the Wild Horse Saloon in Nashville…

In 1996, I decided to put my education plans on hold, so I travelled to London to try something different. I shared a room with a friend on Hackney Road, and found a job at Fancy That of London, a souvenir shop right in the heart of the city. However, the important thing is what I did when I wasn’t working. One night, I noticed a club in Soho called Big Country that had a sign outside mentioning country music, and a huge poster of Garth Brooks next to it. Being a country music fan, I went inside, and discovered that there was much more than country music to the place. I had discovered Line dancing! I tried it out right away, and got hooked immediately. The music was great, and the people were really friendly. Quickly, I was dancing several nights a week in different clubs around the London area; Camden Roadhouse, City Slickers, Big Country, Outlaws & Sinners and Break for the Border.

Benny Ray 1 25/4/08, 11:08:56 am A year later, I moved back to Randers, and October 2005 was the month I published a favourite of mine, and I always wanted got a job at a record shop, where I stayed The Line Dance Way, my very own line to make a dance to it, and one day when for several years. However, I couldn’t forget dance DVD. I had worked for about six I was just messing around and trying out about Line dancing, and seeing that there months in a record company as a part of new dances, the steps suddenly came to was no place that offered classes, I decided my education, and upon leaving, it took me. The music inspires me, and my advice to start my own classes. I contacted a little convincing for me to make them to other choreographers would be to stick local dance studio and they agreed to rent sign me for the DVD project. I have always with music that means something, and just me one of their ballrooms on a Sunday been into music and movies, especially write down what comes fi rst to mind, and afternoon, and this is how my club called horror and science fi ction, and I have a to keep it simple. Cowboys & Angels, just like the Garth huge CD and DVD collection, with the Brooks song, was born.

Benny Ray 2 25/4/08, 11:09:20 am RememberingStel Line dancers everywhere felt a sense of immense shock at the news that Stella Wilden had passed away last March. Linedancer looks back at a life lived for dance.

The word “legend” suffers from overuse and (as a DVD) and is still a major seller. She also a generally diluted meaning. However for helped some Line dance CD compilations and someone like Stella Wilden and as far as the Line made regular TV appearances. dance world is concerned, it is the only word that could begin to describe her. Some people Stella happened to also be the fi rst person to are born to change lives and shape destinies, and teach Line Dancing on BBC Radio and Wey in her own way, Stella achieved that during one Valley. She spent a life time teaching people to amazing lifetime. Line dance and won numerous championships. Competition meant the world to her and she Stella was born in Worcestershire, in the West was responsible for the start of Line dance Midlands. She studied with Harry Gunter for championships, a sure way of elevating the London College of Music and Dramatic Arts, hobby to something much more tangible. She London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts helped to give Line dance its identity as a genre, qualifi cations. She also trained vocally with as a real style of dancing. She would come to several coaches for theatre, musical comedy and judge all across the world and dancers in Europe cabaret. After a successful professional career and the USA will always remember her. in stage, fi lm and television, she turned her attention to dance. Stella ran her own Sizzling Country dance Academy and had many classes all over the Stella and husband Rick played pivotal roles Bucks, Berks, Oxon, Surrey and Middlesex for the whole Line dance community. Right areas. She also had her own dance troupe called from the very start they literally “showed the “The Sizzling Country Dancers”. The troupe way” and today many well known dancers and varied from between six to 18 dancers and choreographers recognise Stella’s infl uence in travelled to major events with her. their work and lives. Other highlights of Stella’s life included her Stella’s talents were incredible and in time appearance along major country western stars she would become an International Judge, Mark Chestnutt, Ricky Skaggs, Lorrie Morgan choreographer, instructor, writer, director and and Chely Wright at the major Gstaad festival producer. She was married to Rick and they in Switzerland in 1999. At the UCWDC were both inseparable.

They Lionel Blair which was a showcase for her very were also the founders and driving force own choreography. It is a mark of her own talent behind the London Dance Classic which was that this particular video is still available widely voted the favourite European Event in 2005. 30

Stella 1 25/4/08, 10:51:04 am Many friends from Line dance will miss her. Not least the following people who graciously agreed to give us a thought on what Stella meant to them.

I ﬁ rst met Stella in the summer of 2000 at the Swedish Championships. She was always very friendly and helpful and was very well liked. I last chatted to her and Rick at World’s in January. She was very bubbly, as usual, and I never thought it would be the last time I would get to talk to her. She will deﬁ nitely be missed. Kelli Haugen

I will remember Stella as a hard worker who loved to dance. It was a pleasure to have known her and to have shared the dance ﬂ oor with her. Steve Healy

When I started Line dancing nine years ago I watched a video produced by Stella. The instructions were clear and the demonstrations a pleasure to watch. Later on I was taught her dance “Mississippi Rolls” and in the past four years I don’t think there’s been a beginner class where I haven’t used it to introduce “4-walls” to a lla class. A real loss to the Line dance world. Deana Randle

Stella Wilden was such an early inspiration to the Line Dance scene in the UK and Europe. She and her husband Rick were among the ﬁ rst people to be serious about teaching and holding events in the early 90s. When I ﬁ rst met this extraordinary couple, I remember that we decided to try teaching Line Dancing on the radio with CMR. This proved very successful. Stella and Rick were always ahead of their time with their partner dancing and helped many professional dancers with their technique. She would spend hours helping others in person or on the telephone. Stella was a good friend and I will miss the good times together. Thoughts are with Rick and her close friends. Lee Williams, CMR Nashville

Stella’s knowledge will never be surpassed. She started the whole event and competition thing really and I learnt a lot by just chatting to her, she was always great to speak to. When she said something she meant it and what you saw was what you got. I will miss her. Maggie Gallagher

Stella was very passionate and a perfectionist in her work both instructing and promoting Line dancing in the UK and I shall remember her with great fondness, she helped me and others on the road to success, which should never be forgotten. “Diddy” Dave Morgan

I met Stella in the Eighties. She encouraged me to compete in the U.C.W.D.C. She also started the London dance classic. She encouraged me to be myself on the dance ﬂ oor, crazy and wild” Johnny 2 Step

Stella was known for her strong and dynamic personality. She and Rick must have been responsible for thousands joining Line dance clubs all over the world. She was a lady who always gave the impression she knew her own mind and could make things happen. And, no one can ever forget, Stella’s huge personality and her very ready smile. Betty Drummond

Dance Reviews June 2 25/4/08, 11:46:35 am guest review

We have promised you every so often to have an album reviewed by a guest… we kick off with Benny Ray’s review of Kellie Pickler’s new album.

Didn’t You Know How Much I Loved You (80 bpm) is a nightclub rhythm love song that showcases Kellie’s ability to sing powerful ballads. Another ballad is the very beautiful song entitled I Wonder (64 bpm). The song is written by Kellie herself, and is dedicated to her mother. This is also in nightclub rhythm. Her performance of this song at last years CMA Awards show was very emotional, and just goes to prove that Kellie Pickler is the real deal. Another very similar song, is the closing track, My Angel (72 bpm), again written by Kellie herself, this time for her grandmother. Powerful stuff. The title track, Small Town Girl (128 bpm) is all about Kellie herself, and if you followed KELLIE PICKLER For Line dancers, the first song you have her on American Idol, you know this song is to take notice of is the beautiful waltz Wild right on the money. The same probably goes for Small Town Girl Ponies (116 bpm), to which Ami Walker has Girls Like Me (120 bpm) and One Of The Guys SONY BMG choreographed an intermediate dance that comes (136 bpm). All three songs would be great for the highly recommended. dance floor.

Recently, Martha Ogasawara from Japan went on a great cruise and here is a mini report with great photos. Deﬁ nitely looks like the right thing to do! Last fall, I wrote an article for this magazine about the joys of combining good food with good dancing. Well, in February, I took it all a step further and added a great vacation to the mix. A group of 24 of us from Japan joined a larger group of Line dancers on a cruise to the Mexican Riviera. It was truly heaven.

During one of the coldest winters in many years, we escaped the snow and headed for sunny places. Our cruise ship left from Los Angeles and we sailed down to Acapulco, then stopped to sightsee in several other places as we sailed back.

We were on this cruise to Line dance. Every afternoon that we weren’t stopped at a port, there were Line dance workshops, and every night there was open dancing until the wee hours, if you chose. The cruise was organized by Scott Blevins. Rachael McEnaney was a guest instructor. I also taught a few workshops. We had the pleasure of Guyton Mundy and Craig Bennett on board, and they were prevailed upon to teach a few dances. Louis St George was the DJ, and there were quite a few well-known dancers aboard too, so it was quite an all-star cast. Nevertheless, there were only about 90 dancers in the Line dance group, and it was an eight day cruise, so everyone got a chance to get to know each other very well.

That’s one of the nice things about a trip like this. The food was delicious and unlimited, and I was scared to weigh myself when I got home, but it seems I actually managed to lose a little weight. All the walking and dancing on the ship paid off! If you’ve never been on a Line dance cruise, I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to have your cake and eat it too (and without getting fat). Love Martha xxx

It is fair to say that Tim Ruzgar’s decision new ideas and changes. It does seem, however, to leave the Line dance scene created some that with Tim moving on, those original roots shock waves through the dance community. are in danger of being severed for good in the Last month, we printed a few of your Line dance media, even though there will be thoughts and many more came through, groups of us nurturing them, where it really mostly sad to see him go.

Note from Editor: It has been very apparent in his column Tim’s knowledge and love of the Line of recent months that Tim Ruzgar has felt dance scene has never been questioned increasingly demoralised by the Line dance and we were surprised and saddened by world and there are those of us who know what his decision. Last month, we printed some he means and are, therefore, not surprised by of our readers thoughts, Liz Ruzgar’s his withdrawal from it. He described himself as moving letter to him and we were thrilled ‘one voice’ but he did, and still does, have his when he agreed to continue with the supporters, to which letters in past and very album reviews for the time being. So, recent issues of Linedancer will attest. Tim although Tim has decided to step back, certainly was a voice for Line dancing staying his presence in our pages will remain an true to its original roots while absorbing the important part of what we try to do.
