'Dancing with the Stars' type competition - Jacksonville NC - 2/25

Feb 25, 2012 at Southwest High School in Jacksonville NC there will be a 'Dancing with the Stars' type competition being held. It's called Swing Your Hips for Scholarships and will be a fundraiser for scholarships for the young people in school. Come out and show your support for the kids.

My partner Erin Hughey-Basso and I will be competing in the event, doing a swing dance number (of course) to Michael Buble's "All I do is Dream of You". Erin is a great dancer and I'm thrilled to have her as my partner in the competition :^)

NC Regional Line Dance Workshop - 2/25

From Susan Webb:

When: Saturday, February 25, 2012
Where: Susan's Place on the farm in Stantonsburg
Time: 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
Cost: $5.00

Please join us for a fun-filled day of line dancing with new dances being taught by our local instructors. Please bring your favorite food for us to lunch and snack on during the day. Water and soft drinks will be available for $1.00.

We are starting early and ending a little earlier this time because some of us plan to attend a dance at Bill's Convention Center in Wilson for a dance that evening. The Holiday Band will be playing. The doors open at 7:00 and the band plays from 8:00-12:00. Any of you are also welcome to attend. There are a number of line dancers who go. I believe the cost is $15.00. If our workshop goes on until around 4:30, that will be fine. We just want to be able to have time to freshen up, change clothes and have dinner before the dance.

I look forward to seeing you on the 25th. Email me if you need directions to my place.

Thanks for the info Susan!

New Dances I'm looking at - 2/6

First up is a nice beginner dance called Cry Cry Cry which was choreographed by Francien Sittrop. The dance is done to the song "Cry To Me" by Precious Wilson & Eruption and is not too hard for a dancer at the beginner level.




Next up is Amund Storsveen's I Want You To Stay. This 32 count, 4 wall intermediate level dance has some energy to it and moves around the floor a bit. Try it out!




Derrick Walker's 64 count, 2 wall intermediate dance by the name of Sláinte is pretty good! The music is "Old Hag" by the Coors and has a definite Celtic feel to it, much in the same vein as Cry of the Celts. Celtic music, along with swing music, is one of my favorite genres to listen to.




Finally, I'm liking this new 32 count dance called So Fresh, choreographed by Joey Warren. It has several tags and restarts, but even if you don't care for tags and restarts the dance looks like a lot of fun. Joey rates it as a high intermediate dance. The music works with the dance well.
