91155 Grapevine . . . The Eagles have landed

The Screaming Eagles Line dance club from Surrey travelled to Twickenham Rugby Stadium to attempt a World Record Abseil in aid of Cancer Research UK. The brave group of 1,350 abseiled a staggering 100 ft down the side of the stadium. Georgina Hefferman said: “It was an amazing feeling and we each had an enormous sense of pride on our fantastic achievement. We all agreed that we felt most nervous balancing on the ledge before taking the plunge.” Those who didn’t fancy hooking themselves to a rope and dropping from a huge great height did what they do best and kept spirits high by Line dancing and cheering to support their friends. The best news of all is they smashed the existing world record by more than 200 people. The amount pledged for the charity stands at an amazing £257,000, which will help with the lifesaving research into the prevention, causes and treatment of cancer. The club raised approximately £1,000 by their brave efforts. Pictured above are, from left to right, Ian and Lesley Manners, Danny King, Karen Fox, Georgina Heffeman and Shirley Chacksﬁeld. Well done to all who took part.

KT's Line dance Club in Congleton held an Easter party and were shocked to learn they had a surprise visit from a group of Easter chicks. The theme of the party was black and yellow and the highlight of the evening was the Easter bonnet competition. The rules were to dress your bonnet in the theme of a Line dance. There were some fabulous hats but Hazel won ﬁrst prize with Fields of Gold and Pot of Gold. Jessica is pictured above holding her Gran, Hazel's winning hat.

Welcome to the wonderful world of the Internet. The Linedancer message board is something of a treasure trove with just about every subject under the sun – including Line dancing being discussed.

Graham Norton upset some of the message board members when he called Line dancers ‘unemotional and serious’ while talking about Strictly Dance Fever on the radio to Jonathon Ross. This is what you had to say on the matter. Names have been withheld.

“We can't dance with permanent smiles on our faces all night – we'd all end up looking like cheshire cats.” The Texan Dudes held a Sports Day Line dance at the Sacred Heart School, Whetstone. “I smile or laugh when something is funny, Sports uniform was purely optional but as always everyone came dressed to impress but I can be having a real good time on the and ready to compete in Line dancing’s answer to the Olympics.

“Inside, deep down, the smile is always there.”

“What a lot of rubbish. If we weren't enjoying ourselves we would hardly be paying out hard earned money to keep on going would we.”

“On the odd occasion I sit a dance out, a friend always makes me laugh by saying "spot the smile". Needless to say we can't.”

Ruby wedding celebrations New Lines in the Black Country

Line dancers Maggie Edmonds and Jackie Faulkner are having a great time at their new classes in the Black Country area.

The two ladies have been running clubs in the area for over eight years and have recently started new classes on Tuesday nights at the Goodyears Pavilion, Wolverhampton and on Thursday nights at Saddlers Club (Walsall Supporters Football Club), Walsall. The classes are for absolute beginners and mixed levels – so there is something to suit everyone.

Happy Birthday Pam 2005 General Election While the politicans were busy campaigning – we asked the three major parties for their comments on Line dancing and what they could promise to do to help our community.

The Labour Party promised: "I am delighted that Line dancing is so much in the limelight at the moment, from Richard and Judy to Strictly Dance Fever, and it's no surprise why – few things are so much fun or so good for you, and long may this trend continue." "More broadly, we are proud to have invested more in dance, music, art, theatre and sport than any other Government, and that's what we want to carry on doing – all we ask is the chance to continue our work on Britain's behalf." Rt Hon Tessa Jowell, Secretary of State for Culture Media and Sport

The Liberal Democrats promised: "The Liberal Democrats have a proud tradition of championing the arts and strong communities. We are committed to reducing government interference in the issuing of National Lottery grants, and to reducing the currently overly bureaucratic requirements for licences for small venues to allow live music to ﬂourish. "We would develop a stronger system to enable public funding to provide loans and investment capital as well as grant aid, and we would streamline the huge number of public funding agencies who support the arts, in particular by creating a new Heritage Agency whose core budget we would increase by £12.5 million over ﬁve years." All the members of The Cactus Club, Burnley Ben Wiseman, Specialist Press Adviser, Liberal Democrats would like to wish Pam many happy returns as she celebrates her birthday with her The Conservative Party promised: Line dancing friends.

So you thought it was safe to share music online? Pamela Edelston explains why you should know the facts before surﬁ ng the web for free music.

ou read in the press someone has been ﬁned a large sum of money for illegally downloading music from the Internet and I bet you don’t picture your Line dancing friend. But this may have happened or could be about to happen. It is common for choreographers to release a new dance and the right piece of music to be only availableY from the Internet. You may believe it is safe to go online and obtain the songs from the web’s fantastic selection of tunes – but be careful, you maybe committing a crime.

It has been reported 23 people were forced to pay compensation totalling £50,000 for sharing thousands of tracks illegally on the Internet. Those ﬁned included a councillor, an IT director and the parents of children who had used peer-to-peer music sharing web sites. Peer- to-peer sites allow anyone to upload music making it accessible for anyone to download it without paying.

The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) is leading the battle against the proliferation of music sharing sites. The attack on individuals follows the globally published case in 2000 against Napster. The industry won the ﬁght against Napster, when it targeted them as the main contributors to the problems regarding illegal downloads. Napster is where music on the Internet began.

Young ballerinas ho would have thought the paths of ballet and Line dancing would ever at the BBO dump cross and yet, for two evenings at the end of March, they did. their pointe shoes On the March 10 we received a very and try dancing in interesting e-mail from the British Ballet Organisation. They were Mick consideringW two Line dance sessions as part of the BBO Lines with and Dance Days 2005 and had been given our name as possible candidates for the task. This was a unique opportunity, not Lavinia Shann, AKA least for us to be working with such exceptional talent but also a chance for us to demonstrate to young people what The Texan Dudes. fun our favourite pastime is. 40 June 2005

They were holding a two day course for The students picked up the routines really 154 Junior students, aged 10 – 14, starting quickly. We’d love to invite them back next on Monday and a three day course for 139 year.” Seniors, aged 14 – 18, starting on Thursday. The students were arriving from all parts It was a real pleasure to be part of the of the country and so for some, it was to BBO Dance Days 2005, the tutors of all be a very long day. On arrival at Imperial these youngsters should be proud of their College, London they firstly had to register, prodigies. We came away with the feeling check-in at their accommodation, then had the future of dance is in safe hands. two afternoon musical theatre workshops, followed by an evening meal. This was to be a busy two and three day schedule for the dance students and the BBO pitched in Line dancing as a fun activity on their first evening. For the BBO these Line dancing sessions were a first and it has to said, we were honoured to be asked.

Easter Monday evening and it was the turn of the 10 to 14 year olds and it really was a case of taking one dance at a time and testing the water. We had to take into account lots of them were very tired from travelling, some had been on the road since 5am. We started with Electric Slide to the Dixie Chicks to get them warmed up and had the most energetic Cowboy Charleston to Mack The Knife, we have ever seen. We decided to give them a little more of a challenge with Stayin’ Alive to N-Sync and that went down a storm. The ballet students may have been tired but it didn’t show and their ability to pick up dances was evident from the start. In addition, all of them demonstrated an abundance of enthusiasm, energy and fun, which was infectious.

After our experience with the juniors we were both looking forward to meeting, and working, with the seniors and we were not disappointed. They were so receptive to whatever we asked of them and all entered into the fun spirit of the evening. They performed a High Test Strut with a vigour rarely seen and as for Wishful Thinking we have never seen it danced with so much laughter and smiles. On to the Tush Push, and this was executed after ﬁve minutes tuition as though they had been Line dancing all their young lives. Their natural dance ability shone through when, after just a few walls, some were adding ‘Chocolate’ (Variations) just because it felt right. It was very tempting to see how far we could go with such talent in a limited time but, again, we were not to make this a workshop. This was to be a fun start to a hard 3 day schedule and from the reaction we received we think we pitched it just right. For the majority, on both evenings, this was their ﬁrst taste of Line dancing.

Our brief was to make it fun, we are sure they all left with the feeling they had enjoyed the experience and we hope they went home with fond memories of Line dancing. Bridget Swithinbank of the BBO said: “Both the junior and senior sessions with the Texan Dudes were great fun and a huge success. 41 CWDC European Championships 2005

A cull would be ludicrous – Line dance is all about choice

I would just like to say a word on behalf of all suggest that a small gap be left at the back different pieces of music. If people are giving choreographers, I cannot believe that anybody, for anybody who wants to do a different up Line dancing because they are being taught let alone a professional, would suggest that dance. You could also ring ahead to arrange too many dances, that is down to the teacher, they limit their talents and write less. You this or to ask what dances are current in that not the choreographer. One of the jobs of a wouldn’t tell authors to slow down because area (or look in your Linedancer magazine), teacher is to know their class and what their you can’t read all the books written. Just which is a good idea if you are a beginner or needs are and what is being taught elsewhere. because they write a lot of dances, it doesn’t taking a group of beginners. Also one of the Putting the blame on choreographers and follow that you have to teach them all. One of joys of travelling to different events is to see suggesting that they be culled is ludicrous. the joys of Line dancing is that you can do lots different dances and picking out ones that you Where would Line dancing be without the of different dances to lots of different pieces would like to do. Many a time I have returned wonderful choice of dances we are given, long of music and I find it difficult to understand from a dance with a list of possible dances may they continue to write them, everyone! why when visiting another area you can’t do to either learn or teach. As to the music I would also like to say how much I look a difference dance to a set piece of music. I problem, although it is nice to do a dance to forward to and enjoy your magazine. realise that it is difficult if the floor is crowded the preferred music I have been to several or already split. But surely it wouldn’t be too classes where they have had only a dozen or Mrs Margaret Hall, difficult for whoever is running the event to so CD’s. This also makes it easier to dance to Hertfordshire Jim Dean is back Just thought I’d let you know about Jim Dean returning to Country. We recently held a social evening at The Blues & Greys Western Dancers in Billingham, where The Jim Dean Band did their first North East gig. The trio consists of Jim Dean, Frank Mitson and Carl Shay, formerly from Razor Edge, who played three great sets and had the dancers and the dance floor on a high. It was great to hear some good Country music (no pop). We hear there is a CD soon to be released on which is a cracking version of Della And The Dealer along with a new dance. The feedback from my class and visitors said they thoroughly enjoyed the night and it was nice to see a well-presented, pleasant, happy trio. It was also nice to hear that Jim has a tongue and could talk to the crowd. The highlight of my evening was when Jim asked my step-granddaughter, Samantha (pictured with Jim), to join him on stage for the very first time to play bass guitar for his version of Oh Lord its hard to be humble accompanied by the band. Can’t wait to hear the new CD and look forward to seeing The Jim Dean band again in the not too distant future. Good Luck to the trio. Brenda Scott, Darlington, Co Durham

We have heard the news and are as excited as you about the new group. Look out for more news from The Deans in next months Linedancer. Ed.

77 Get well soon Margaret

I just wanted to write and tell you about the Allied Dancing Western Day at the Kirby Suite, Liverpool in February. 140 dancers danced from 1:30pm until 5:30pm almost non-stop. The atmosphere was lovely and a great crowd attended. The next one is on October 16 – same time, same place. I would also like to wish Margaret Sharp a complete recovery in the near future. She is one of Lynders Stompers and club teacher Lynda organised the event at the Kirby Suite. Margaret is very much missed by everyone in the classes, it is much too quiet with out you margaret – come back soon. Lynda and Ellen, Walton, Liverpool

Line Dance Club from Yorkshire on our club holiday in Blackpool. As the weekend coincided with two very important weddings (Ken and Deirdre and Charles and Camilla) we decided to dress for the occasion to toast the happy couples and, as you can see, we had some very distinguished guests. We had a brilliant weekend with guest singers Chris Raddings and O.J. Reynolds to entertain us, and our club instructor Christine playing CDs and leading the dancing. Our new slogan for the weekend was "The people make the party" and that has never been more appropriate to describe the wonderful people from the club who all joined in the fun to make it truly a weekend to remember. We are all looking forward to our next weekend away in November. The weekly 'Owzit Start? classes are held in Sutton in Craven (near Keighley), Carleton (near Skipton) and in Otley.
