It is not surprising that the health watchdog has stepped in to the arena and a new initiative has been launched. The idea is to get people to exercise more by pre scribing dance classes. It is the best news for dance clubs and could see an increase in people coming along to Line dance classes. The Labour government have put their heads together and have a new enterprise that guarantees everyone to get up off their behinds and join us on the dancefl oor. Who would have believed that the dance craze started by Strictly Come Dancing would evolve into this big health kick? Doctors are going to begin prescribing dance lessons to encourage a healthier lifestyle for many obese people.
The obesity crisis starts with the young and covers all generations. The youngsters are some of the most overweight you’ll ever “The cost is growing come across and they are continuing to grow. The older are not much better... apparently along side the ever dance classes are the key. When the music plays your spirits are lifted and warmth runs increasing waistlines and through your blood.

I come alive and surely this is what dancing can do for many others.
Linedancer have discussed before the benefi ts of dancing with most athletes trailing in a poor shadow of a dancer. The new government initiative is set out to get people to become more involved and active, strengthening their mind and imagination. Who knows? We could have a new Line dance World Champion in our midst.
Most people take up dance lessons because it involves a pretty pink tutu or a pair of adorable ballet slippers. Under the new dance program overweight individuals are being asked to put on their leotards, sparkling silver shoes and get themselves under the glitter balls. Doctors have decided that as the TV show on BBC One in the UK and on other channels around the world, grows in popularity more and more people are keen to start dancing. The original thought was to get people taking Tango classes or Street dance classes and Linedancer are pleased as punch that the NHS Trust are fi nally taking a step in the right direction. I wonder if any instructors can get involved in this initiative – get on the phone to your local MP and see if you can get involved.

next and this would be ideal for cruising cha cha. Amy Hartman provides the gorgeous harmonies on this lovely Country song. It’s A Long Road (113bpm) is an up tempo number, and like all the tracks it is strong on musicianship with some good harmony vocals. Melinda Mae (136bpm) there is a certain naivety to this simplistic song which is an east coast swing in style. Muddy River (87bpm) is of course a song about the great Mississippi river and this I think is more of a listener although it does have a good strong beat to it, and I love the harmonica in the backing. Something Big (the George Strait song) (128bpm) and it has the singer asking a DJ to play a good song like something from George Strait, and then asking a band to do the same so that he could pluck up the courage to ask a girl out. Another east coast swing and another good dance track. Those Aren’t Tears In My Eyes (147bpm) is a duet with Alyssa Bonagura and this is a superb dance track, an east coast swing, and one of my favourites on the album.

• Dance culture and development in Nigeria. • Dance is life itself. A new approach to dance as a psychological phenomenon. • Dance and eroticism. Belly dance as a case study.
• My own presentation, `Seeing and Hearing Data – Refl ections of a Video Interviewer’ explored key issues concerning my experience of using video to record interview data as part of my PhD research. It received good feedback from a number of delegates which is always encouraging.
Both of the lecture rooms were kept busy with a range of presentations that that fi red up the imagination such as:-

Have Fun Go Mad I didn’t have any special inspiration for Have Fun Go Mad. I always did a new dance for my home town event which was Chicagoland Country and Swing event held every August. Jo Thompson handed me a CD in July and said: "Scott, I have this song that I love but I think it is more you than me, see what you think." About three days before the event I put the track on and had the dance in about ten minutes. I still love dancing it and I consider it one of my best dances. I am so happy that people are still dancing Have Fun Go Mad on a regular basis all around the world. Thanks to everyone who still enjoys or has recently started enjoying Have Fun Go Mad.

It’s A Beast and Deeply Completely The name came fi rst with It’s A Beast. I knew I wanted to do a hard dance that if you could do it made you ‘it’. It has always been a challenging dance and I am pleased to have it nominated for Dance of the Decade. The second nomination Deeply Completely is one of the dances that I am most proud of. I still love dancing the dance and am very grateful that people are still dancing it. I believe it will always be one of my favourite dances because I love how it fi ts perfectly to the music. Thank you to everyone who voted for the dance it is an honour.

The key to survival
Lonestar Dance Ranch hosts a Charity Line dance in support of the Burnley Mayor’s charity. The Mayor is working hard to raise enough money (approx £40,000) to purchase two transnasal oesopagoscopes. The machines will be used for the detection and biopsy of early cancer of the upper airways and digestive tract. Early diagnosis of oral cancer usually leads to a 100 percent survival rate. Susan Beaumont said: “The Mayor informed us on the night that only £16 was needed to raise enough to purchase the fi rst machine and here myself and Peter Clough Lonestar's UKA Qualifi ed teachers present the Mayor and Mayoress with a cheque for £500. “We danced all night to the latest dances and golden oldies. We are happy to say that three other local dance clubs supported us on the night and a BIG thank you goes out to them. Thank you for a wonderful evening and for supporting such a worthwhile charity.” Jim notches up the pounds for charity
Jim Cheverton has been giving up his although he has now retired from the St Monday evenings for the past ten years Johns Ambulance Jim will continue to teach teaching Line dancing in aid of the St Johns and will donate the money to various other Ambulance. Jim has raised over £17,000 and local charities. Put your pennies in the bucket
Six hundred Line dancers came along to dance at the Norbreck Castle, Blackpool for the annual Christmas party. Thank goodness the three loyal ladies were on hand to tour the hall with a bucket in hand collecting money for Children in Need. Joanne Hawkins, Samantha Mellor and Stacey Allsopp all deserve a big pat on the back for their hard work. The ladies collected over £400.

However distance and postage costs stop many more joining the rank of subscribers so we thought we would launch an electronic version of the same magazine some months ago to make us cheaper and more accessible. So now we have a brand new, revamped and ready to go website to show the world at large what is on offer.
www.onlinedancer.co.uk takes all our new potential subscribers through what the magazine and our main website have to offer. Once there, people can read examples of reviews, international supplements and charts, listen to a sample podcast and watch a video to give them an idea of what delights awaits them. Just a couple of clicks opens a new world. It even offers a chance for new subscribers to try all this free for a short period of time and therefore gives a real taster of what we do.
We are proud to have such a site as part of our stable of products and services. The Internet is here to stay and we hope to have many many more customers from far fl ung corners of the world joining our ranks and discovering what has made us such a widely read and appreciated publication for over 10 years.
