Editorial and Advertising Clare House 166 Lord Street Southport, PR9 0QA Dear Dancers Tel: 01704 392300 Fax: 01704 501678 Last weekend in the UK was a Subscription Enquiries joy to behold with temperatures Tel: 01704 392300 soaring into 27 degrees for the [email protected] whole of Saturday and Sunday. For once the weather girl was right! So, Agent Enquiries at my home, we planned a whole Tel: 01704 392353 two day extravaganza for outdoor [email protected] living, knowing this could be our one Web Support stab at summer. We phoned friends Tel: 01704 392333 on the Friday, rushed (me and a [email protected] million others) to the supermarket and bought anything that could be Publisher eaten raw or chargrilled or looked Betty Drummond like ice cream, ran back home [email protected] and got all the garden furniture out of its hibernation state and Managing Editor gave it a clean, spruced the garden up and by the time our Laurent Saletto [email protected] friends arrived you would have thought we were in a far away, sunny place. Editorial Assistant Dawn Middleton You would have also thought we live like this every day of the year!. It was a balmy evening filled [email protected] with light conversation, music and laughs. On the Sunday, we walked and took the sun dressed in just our T shirts and shorts. It looked as though this was never going to end. Then on Monday, Webmaster the miserable weather returned and we can only now pray this short outburst was not the entire Paul Swift summer season for 2010. [email protected] Doing all this reminded me of how important seizing the occasion is. How important living for the Dance Editor moment is. How important it is to do while you can. This is when I always admire the Line dancer Steve Healy who in any kind of weather just gets out and goes to his or her club. Whether it rains, suns, sleets [email protected] or snows most of you just get there. For an instructor, it is vital of course but for a social dancer Assistant Dance Editor you would think that most people would only be fair weather dancers. That is simply not so. And Kath Butler what about the dancers we regularly feature who are in their eighties and nineties. What are they [email protected] on to just get up, go and dance every week? If “motion is indeed lotion”, most of those people have applied this principle to their lives and continue to do so. Because there is nothing more Advertising Sales difficult than being constant and motivated, I admire them. Rob Saunderson Tel: 01704 392336 [email protected] Add to all this that when the occasion presents itself, most of you will also go for extra dancing Circulation Manager and socials and Wow! You are truly amazing. Phil Drummond So perhaps the secret of an eternal summer is to be a Line dancer. Perhaps the sun that we like [email protected] to feel on our backs can live in our minds and hearts 365 days a year. I think that next time I Design Team hear the question “What do people get out of Line dance?” I will have to say “Optimism and the Mike Rose, Ian McCabe, Amy Houghton, joy of living.” Then I will add “ What about you? How do you keep happy?”. I bet I will get some Emma Lyon and David Atherton puzzled expressions…. [email protected] Yes it is true that the weather in the UK is sometimes unpredictable but it is also true that we have no problems in finding our inside sun every day as dancers. And if we can start spreading that Credits message, who know how many new Line dancers we will have coming to our classes and clubs? ‘Boot Logo’ courtesy of London Boots Ltd. Have a good summer!

ALBUM OF THE MONTH

Love This Pain (128bpm) once again Charles takes lead and delivers a fantastic vocal on this hot country dance track. When You Got A Good Thing (68bpm) is a stunning nightclub two step and is as good a country song as I have heard in a while. The vocals are fi rst class as is the musicianship, especially the steel guitar. This has potential to be a massive dance hit . Stars Tonight (124bpm) it’s back to the country rock style with this brilliant west coast swing number. It’s a toe tapping, butt kicker of a song and choreographers will be falling over themselves to write something to this. If I Knew Then (78bpm) just when you think it can’t get any better the band hits you with an amazing waltz track, one of the best songs I have ever heard. Lost In the Moment (72bpm) once again the band surprises with a smooth nightclub two step song which sounds your head. There have been a few dances like it came off a Hal Ketchum album.

In The Shelter Of Your Arms (98bpm) is a Ain’t No Son (110bpm) I was trying hard Water (98bpm) Brad has a great affi nity new song with some decent lyrics but I am not make comparisons to the Dixies’ work but with water as is proved once again in this afraid Alvin sounds a little old here. you can’t but help it on this brilliant up beat lively song. Good Love Can Never Die (125bpm) we track. She’s Her Own Woman (70bpm) is a have danced to the Rollers in recent times so She’s Her Own Woman (70bpm) is a smooth nightclub two step that would need a why not Alvin? smooth nightclub two step that would need a couple of tags added to dance to. I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll (130bpm) Oh dear! couple of tags added to dance to. Stars Tonight (124bpm) it’s back to the Alvin, not your best effort. Fairytale (98bpm) this is an exciting dance prospect as it is a gorgeous waltz and Emily’s country rock style and this brilliant west coast Shakin’ All Over (90bpm) is a decent enough cover and new song I Know It’s Over voice is outstanding. This will defi nitely have swing number. dance written to it. Anything Like Me (82bpm) is a sweet little (110bpm) is a very good new song. You You You (140bpm) was another hit I Miss You (118bpm) has a good cha cha number, an interesting story song that Brad beat and it reminds me of Chris Izaak’s work. does so well. and actually it still sounds good enough to be a fun line dance track. Gracefully (104bpm) we have another You Do The Math (110bpm) Brad likes waltz this time and as Martie wrote this one a tongue in cheek number which is exactly My Sweet Elvis (96bpm) Alvin sings all about his hero on this somewhat clichéd track she takes lead vocals graced with beautiful what this track is! and the guitar work is awesome. harmonies from Emily. No (78bpm) once again we have a beautiful Dirt On My Hands (131bpm) is another April’s Love (96bpm) is a sweet little song song with beautiful lyrics delivered in a very song and it’s pretty good whilst Red Dress with a beautiful musical backing however it is traditional style.

It’s still an interesting dance with a great beat to match. The first week it seemed quite challenging for some but the next week they found it a lot easier.

ZKHUHWRGDQFHLQGG  IT’S A SHOW DOWN! Carol Craven went to the big Showdown event held at The Sheraton Framingham Hotel, in Framingham, Massachusetts recently and here is her report on a decidedly showstopping and amazing weekend!

e had another great year at with many of the instructors. Here’s the list the Line dance showdown. of instructors that were here this year. There was a huge crowd here for Thursday night and we Barry & Dari Anne Amato, Forty Arroyo, Wdanced until early in the morning. Everything Scott Blevins, Tom Clemons, Will Craig, was super organized, as Jen and Jason’s Dancin’ Dean, Zac Detweiller, Bracken events always are. I loved that there was Ellis, Rob Glover, Steve Lescarbeau, Jamie so much open dancing at this event. There Marshall, Rachael McEnaney, Debbie were also a great variety of dances taught McLaughlin, Rosie Multari, Guyton for every level. On Friday night we did a mix Mundy, Debi Pancoast, Sarah Preston, John of classic and new dances and every dance Robinson, Sydney Smyth, Amy Spencer, Joe that was taught was played so that everyone Steele, Jo Thompson Szymanski, Daniel could do it with the instructors. This was Jo Trepat, Pim van Grootel, Junior Willis and Thompson’s first year at this event. I must Amy Zack, so as you can see we had a ball admit that we did a lot of her dances and she with some of the very best names Line was up dancing late into the evening along dance offers.

LWVDVKRZGRZQLQGG  They all did a really good job and I tried to take as many classes as my little brain would hold. The DJ’s were terrific too. Louie St. George, Dan DeLisle, John Lindsey and Jill Babinec were simply amazing. I thought there was such a great variety of music played this weekend and we were able to dance lots of old and new dances and it was just fun. The role of a DJ is always underrated and people just don’t realize how important their role is and how difficult the job is too.

Saturday builds up to THE SHOWDOWN As for the competitors they were simply and this year there were ten entries and all terrific. I loved seeing Amy Spencer’s young were just wonderful. I think it was the best students perform in particular. EVER and it was difficult to decide who to vote for. The Amatos won first place but Pim Van Grootel and Daniel Trepat there were truly all winners! Amy’s Kids Adam & Kerri.

THE SHOWDOWN RESULTS: You were Now then. You know how I’m always all WONDERFUL. Thanks for all the work looking for the WOW dance of the weekend. every single one of you put into these Well, I found one this weekend in Oh Ruby, performances. It was the BEST Showdown by Debbie McLaughlin. She had a HUGE competition yet!! class on Friday and everyone really liked this challenging dance. She did a good 1ST PLACE job teaching it and it will be done a lot at BARRY AND DARI ANNE AMATO, upcoming events, I am sure. $1500 In short, all I can say is a big thank you to 2ND PLACE Jason, Jen and Jaden for another wonderful JO THOMPSON SZYMANSKI AND weekend in Massachusetts. They are moving RACHAEL MCENANEY, $400 to the Quincy Marriott Hotel next year (April 7-10, 2011) and they tell me the new hotel 3RD PLACE is really beautiful so I am already planning ROB GLOVER AND JOSEPH, $300 to attend this event which is one of my 4TH PLACE favourites. If you can make it I know it will THE BLUNDY SISTERS, $200 become one of yours too. 5TH PLACE

Dave, Nottingham Hi Dave it is not usually much of a problem until the dancers try to dance alongside others doing This is a good question and one that the same dance and then confusion reigns as arises time and time again. As you everyone looks at everyone else wondering know, Line dance sheets or scripts, what’s what. A are usually prepared by the person who created the dance, the choreographer.
