Jodie in 96

Jodie Lou Hills, founder of Jodie’s Country LDC, was due to become the subject of a Linedancer ‘Teacher Feature’ before her tragic death. Here Linda Willis pays tribute to a Jodie wearing her Dad’s hat in 81 much-loved ﬁ gure on the dance circuit 27

Like Rob, she passed with ﬂ ying colours, returning to Biggleswade opening her ﬁ rst class. Her mum and dad agreed to set her up with equipment, advertising and music licence.

Aged just 16 and still at school, her ﬁ rst dance was held in April 1995 in the Weather- ley Centre. A hall they have used ever since. It was all Country music.

“We danced California Freeze, Tush Push and Waltz Across Texas – Dad’s favourite!” recalls sister Katie. “She told me to stand at the back of the class, but it was for the right reasons. It was vital that every single one of their club members could get the steps right by seeing them, not just those at the front.”

Jodie was really keen and the Pontiac Firebird last year shortly after announced to her aston- ished parents that one-day she wanted to become a Line dance teacher. After receiving the fi rst copy of Linedancer Magazine, she decided to follow through and took a course with the British Western Dance Association. 28

Hank, backed by bands including Pat Green, Poison’s Bret Michaels, Montgomery Gentry, Michelle Poe and Darryl Worley, wrapped up a fantastic event with a stomping version of Family Tradition, which had Line dancers in ecstasy.

Apart from Hank, the festival helped secure Gretchen Wilson’s growing reputation as Country music’s hottest act.

The Redneck Woman was the star of the festival, performing between two heavy storms and telling the crowd: “Anybody who can wait that rain out is a redneck in my book.”

She was called back for two encores, and ended the festival as Tower Records’ best- selling artist, with her new album Here for the Party selling three times the number of CDs as second-best seller Julie Roberts.

Kid Rock protégé Uncle Kracker got some help with his burgeoning career when Rachel Proctor joined him on stage for Drift Away. Uncle Kracker has already topped the ‘ Country Music charts with When the Sun Goes Down, along with duet partner Kenny Chesney.

Meanwhile, there were two unique ﬁ rsts that occurred Friday, June 11.

For the ﬁ rst time since the Festival moved to Downtown Nashville four years ago, all available tickets to a Nightly Concert at The Coliseum were sold out. Also, the headlining performance by Brooks & Dunn marked the ﬁ rst time a President of the Country Music Association Board of Directors performed at the Festival. Kix Brooks was elected President of the CMA, of which Linedancer Magazine is a member, in November 2003.

Later on, armed with an acoustic guitar so he could pick and sing at a moment’s notice, the legendary Glen Campbell spoke about the genius of Hank Williams Sr. and the possibility of recording with Keith Urban, whose amazing Sunday night set proved why many consider him the latest superstar.

Campbell sang a bit of Lovesick Blues by Williams, and said: “When I do the Hank stuff in my show, they just scream and holler and throw babies in the air.”

antwich Civic Hall, Cheshire was once again the venue for Line Dance Party 2. With a massive dance ﬂ oor, this is the perfect venue for a Line dance event! The doors opened at 12.30pm, and there was already a queue of dancers eager to begin. NThe afternoon session started at 1pm with a warm welcome from Daniel and Maggie, then there was about 30 minutes of the most popular dances. Rob Carlo came with Maggie to help Daniel with the DJ-ing, and a good job he did, too.

Daniel and Maggie taught ﬁ ve dances. Daniel’s Swing With Me to a track by Magill was a real cracker. Maggie did Buy Me A Drink, LOA, U Can and Ya Do! The dancers favourite being Ya Do which was quite funky. Maggie, always the professional, went round the room talking to the dancers as if she met them every week. Daniel was quite nervous. This was understandable as Daniel, Maggie G, Hayley and Rob it was a big event, but there was no need as everyone was having a great time. 38

Although they have a laugh with the best of them, the emphasis at Samantha Haywood’s classesT is helping people become as good as they can, while offering plenty of opportunities to let their hair down once teaching has ﬁ nished.

Samantha is a qualiﬁ ed Line dance, sequence and ballroom teacher and has been stepping out since she was ﬁ ve years old. The school, which offers seven weekly Line dance classes at various venues across the Midlands, recently celebrated its eighth birthday and is famous for its regular Saturday night socials and Thursday coffee mornings.

There is a mixed crowd, aged from ﬁ ve to 85, mainly ladies although a lot of gents come with their wives, but all of them are passionate about the pastime.

“We like to do things right, but if something goes wrong we all have a laugh about it. We’re not deadly serious, there’s always time for a joke and a giggle,” Sam says.

“People are very enthusiastic about the socials, it gives them a chance to practise the dances they are learning in their normal classes and also gives dancers from different classes a chance to meet up and chat.” Professional dance teacher Samantha Haywood loves a laugh, but is not afraid to put in the hard work needed help people get the best out of Line dancing

Samantha feels it its important that children a given the chance to have a go and to bring all dancers on slowly but steadily from beginner to improver to advanced.

“There are not so many children involved in Line dancing these days, it seems to have gone out of fashion with the young,” she says. “But those that do come really enjoy it. I think we have to give children the opportunity to dance, show them what they are missing.

“I think the main thing that puts people off is not the music. I stand very much in the middle as far as the Country v Pop debate goes, and I think as long as there is a good mixture everyone will be happy.

Stompin AUG 79 01/07/2004, 14:04:04 Dance Floor Etiquette - A Reminder

Dance floor etiquette is all about common sense, good - will and co-operation. The best dancers are those who follow the social graces of the dance floor; they are courteous and considerate and will be welcomed wherever they dance.

Following this simple guide will help you to enjoy sharing a dance floor this new year and prevent you from inadvertently spoiling it for others.

NEVER ALWAYS

Always listen to the DJ. It is customary for a DJ to Never carry food, drinks, glasses, cans or lighted designate the dance and to ‘count in’. cigarettes onto the dance floor. Always encourage and support beginners. It only takes Never walk through a line of dancers to cross the floor - a few kind words to make a new friend. always walk around or wait. Always go to the front when starting off a dance. Others Never stand on the floor to talk - if music is playing go can then line up behind you. off the dance floor to chat. Always be gracious and apologise when caught in a Never start a different dance unless there is plenty of ‘bump’ even if it was not your fault. room and you sense it is acceptable. Always replace any drinks you accidentally knock over Never hog floor space. If the floor is full take small steps and be sure you say sorry. and watch for collisions. Always leave the outside edge of the dance floor clear Never stop in the middle of a dance to teach, as you’ll for partner and couple dancers. be in the way. Go off the floor to teach. Always give way to dancers around the outside Never let your feet, knees, arms or elbows become of the floor. dangerous weapons on the dance floor. Always dance with the flow. The Line of Dance (LOD) Never show off. Variations, turbo spins, high is anti-clockwise. kicks and jumps can put people off. Always show appreciation. Applaud live acts, instructors and DJs - they work hard for you.

And finally, keep your head up, smile and enjoy yourself.
