Nancy Houghton of Shy Boots and Stompers, Southport was on holiday in Florida and during a day out at Animal Kingdom she meet some fellow Line dancers. The dancers are the Rodeo Girls Line dancers from South Africa. The group gave an impromptu demonstration of Line dancing much to the bemusement of the other visitors at the park. They had taken part in a competition at Lakeland, Florida the previous day so were letting their hair down at Walt Disney World. Nancy enjoyed talking to the girls about their competition dances and dancing in South Africa. She also made sure she sent them a copy of Linedancer Magazine – happy reading girls. 11 Postcards from an international Line dancer Bob Trott from Guildford recently travelled to the other side of the My next stop was Australia and in Melbourne I made my way to John globe.

I was keen anyone else is contemplating a similar trip you can expect the same. to find out what Line Dancing was like on the other side of the world as I travelled to Australia for a work conference. I managed to contact a number of clubs in each of the cities on my itinerary and started to plan things for the trip. On my first day I arrived in Malaysia and there was a workshop being put on by the Happy Feet Club in the Sunway Lagoon Resort Hotel. The event was reported in Grapevine previously but just in case you missed it the guest instructors were two from the USA – Barry Durand and Guyton Mundy. I knew about half of the first section of dances – I was only familiar with about 10 percent of the Saturday list. It turned out that Barry and Guyton are keen on what I call the head- banging funky music, and this is also very popular in Malaysia where there doesn’t seem to be a split in musical tastes. The music choice on the Saturday reflected the type of dance they had taught over the weekend, so although I sat out most of it, I found it interesting to watch. Danish slice There seemed an even lower proportion of males than back home, but the striking difference compared to UK dancers is the style in which people use their arms and bodies – even the men.

The Girls, Maureen and Michelle celebrated American Independence Day with their over 50’s class in Pendeford, Wolverhampton. Pulling out everything with a star or stripe the class was full of American flags, t-shirts and banners. The group dressed in some imaginative outfits to celebrate the freedom of our friends over the pond. Fun and laughter is always the theme at The Girls' classes and events and July 4 was no exception. Prizes were given for the best costumes. However the consolation grapes caused some confusion on the dancefloor, as people tried to eat and dance at the same time – not recommended! The delight of the day was Cyril and Doreen’s home made toffee – which they make and share with the class regularly. Maureen and Michelle said: “Our over 50’s class are always keen to have fun and their enthusiasm makes them a real pleasure to teach. They really are a great class and July 4 was a feast of an afternoon.”

More important than anything else they always keep it fun dancing their favourites, which are Soluna, 20 Kisses and If That's Love. The class had an extra special evening on July 4 as they held a red, white and blue theme party night. The party would not have been complete without popcorn and cookies or as the English would say, biscuits!

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.

Julia didn’t want to miss her Line dance class, so she had her hen party during Thursday night’s lesson. Her mum Enid (pictured) was over the moon because she loves her Line dancing too.

With over 80 clubs running weekly and with all the bands we are absolutely spoilt for choice. The majority of the clubs are supported by the huge dance fraternity which is still alive and kickin’ in this part of the country. Amongst the clubs we also have a variety of festivals and this year – at only their second attempt – Rock Ridge Festival was a phenomenal success. The festival ran for five days organised by Kevin and Tracey Greener. Four piece band from Bradford, Wrangler took to the stage on Saturday and their fi nale dictated their style with a Stan Jones song, Ghost Riders in the Sky. Jonny Williams and the Rednecks followed bringing a new slice to Country music’s wide spectrum. Jonny and the band used only three instruments but managed to attain that big band sound. One of the biggest highlights was Danni Leigh who travelled from Texas hoping to leave behind the pressures she faces by As I enter into my tenth year of teaching Line dancing in Dorset, my dancers (some of them being so much in the public eye in the have been with me from day one) continue to enjoy themselves and the dances you provide USA.

Can you recognise any of the Line dancer roles below? Clarissa Clarifier is the Line dancer who likes to be quite clear about what the step is before attempting it. She is interested in detail and likes to be sure about things like counting or the amount of turn required, before trying the step. This approach is loved by those in class who welcome the opportunity to clarify the detail of the step or movement. For anyone who prefers to get the gist of a step and give it a go, it can be frustrating. Quentin Questioner is the Line dancer appears to be very quiet or shy.
