New dances to check out

I Didn't Know that a line dance would be written to a nice peppy two step country song. I'm really enjoying the song and can't wait to try the dance live! Thank you choreographers Alan G Birchall & Jacqui.




Here's another line dance done to a movin' two step! It's name? Hip Hop Honky Stomp choreographed by Regina Cheung.

Glossary of Line Dance terms

Here is a nice glossary of terms for the line dancers that's been compiled by my friend Don Deyne. The glossary is hosted at country-time.com.

New line dances - 10/24

First new dance up is Marie Sorensen's Margaritas & Senoritas. I think you'll enjoy the easy latin beat of this beginner level dance.




No Llores, by Ria Vos, is an intermediate level line dance whose music has a good latin feel to it.




It's that time of the year again... Hallowe'en! Dodo Wong's Silly Spooks is a nice beginner level line dance whose music sounds just right for the holiday.




Want to try a dance out that goes to Michael Jackson's Thriller? Why not try Winnie Yu's Thriller line dance? Many of the moves look like they are modeled after the moves done in the music video. It looks like great fun!
