Managing Editor Yes, the organising of something like the CBA is months (literally) of hard work, logistics and Laurent Saletto inspiration to come up with something new each year. However, once I get to Blackpool, I know [email protected] of nothing more satisfying to the soul than the sight of hundreds of happy dancers, smiling as they Editorial Assistant meet each other and dance and chat for hours.

Is it because people love a celebration of some of Line dance’s best? Or [email protected] is it simply that they get to dance non stop for hours? Or is it that its heady mix of glamour, top choreographers workshops and social occasion is irresistible? Dance Editor Steve Healy Well, yes, all of the above probably but it is much much more.

Patricia Steffen and a group of her friends from Rhine Liners club in Dusseldorf, Germany visited England last November. They attended a Line dance weekend in Corby hosted by Alan and Fiona Haywood who had previously met the Rhine Liners on a visit they made to Dusseldorf. Patricia told us: “The weekend was spent with lots of dancing and fun. We went to some great socials and workshops held by Alan. On Saturday we had some free time which we mainly used for shopping.” Was she with Rick Guard and Steve Healy we ask? - Ed. What a great way to spend free time and that’s spending! Patricia added: “We met lots of lovely people from the Corby area and we are looking forward to meeting with them all again.”

The Girl In The Garden

If you have visited the Linedancer magazine website over the last few months you may have noticed some new dances performed by a girl in a garden. That girl is Helena-Jane the daughter of Margaret and Michael Parker. Michael told us: “Helena-Jane is also my Line dance partner and we have been dancing for about two years now after my wife introduced us to it. We decided it might be fun to choreograph our own dance and when I heard the song They sung by Jem I immediately knew that had to be our ﬁ rst dance which we called So Sorry. Helena put the steps together in an afternoon and tried it out in the garden just to see if it worked to the music. It has been a fantastic experience that we have done some more since.” They have even tried a bit of teaching, Michael adds: “I must say that I am completely in awe of the teachers. It is not as easy as they make it look. We owe our enthusiasm to Lynda and Mandy, Quickdraw with Charlie and Baz who have guided us. Other talented teachers running classes in the area are Gill of Crystal Cats and Elaine Wright of Duston.” It’s quite cold outside at the moment I think the Girl in the Garden might just have to do the dancing inside.

Today she says: “I teach mostly at ﬁ tness centres and a couple of private groups. In total I conduct a minimum of 12 classes a week. “ She also completed her certiﬁ cation as a Line dance teacher with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD), Associate level (Line Dance) and got a high commendation.

Early this year, Mei Ling was invited to Japan by Hiro Suzuki for his annual ‘Tokyo Crazy Country Dance Festival’. Mei Ling says: “Hiro asked me to teach several dances during the workshop and also suggested I teach one of my own. That’s what started me choreographing. My ﬁ rst dance: Born to Rock.”

Mei Ling is a determined dancer, and though she had to give up competition in favour of her family, she has managed to achieve other levels of satisfaction by becoming a well known and appreciated choreographer. Just watch the video on our Onlinedancer this month to see what Orchard Road was like in December thanks to her inspired steps. 31

The 13th Crystal Boot was, as we predicted, a vintage year!

In this section, you can relive very special moments of the three day weekend many think of as THE Line dance event of the year.

Behind the scenes... Linedancer magazine has always been proud to host the Crystal Boot Awards and we hope that those of you who joined us this year truly enjoyed it. If you have never been, we hope this section can capture a little of the magic created in Blackpool.

Lastly, don’t forget that we are already taking bookings for 2010, and as last year, it looks as if the event will be a Awards galore... sell out in no time.

See you there!

Entertainment at its best...

Another thing is that there is always an interpreter (usually me) on stage to translate for the guest instructors who come from overseas. Just learning the steps to a dance in English isn’t such a problem, but since most of the dancers don’t speak much English, it’s a big help to have what the instructor is saying translated into Japanese.

These are just a few examples of some of the things we do. I think the most important thing, as with any enterprise, is being willing to “go the extra mile”. Events can only be successful if organisers enjoy being there to make things happen no matter how stressful it can get.

Here are some of the things that have been incorporated into our event to make it as enjoyable as possible for everyone involved. Organisation
