NC Regional Line Dance review

Review by Susan Webb:

A NC Regional Line Dance workshop was held last Saturday, November 12 at Wyse Fork Community Building in Dover, hosted by Diane Hargett.

Diane Hargett and Bonnie Mathews taught dances in the Easy Intermediate session.

• Wild Thang by Sue Ann Ehmann to Wild Thang by Johnny Williams. It is a 32 count, 4 wall dance with no tags or restarts with some fun hips/knees. The first 8 count is the hardest but the rest quite easy.
  
  
• Rude Boy by Junior Willis and Amy Spenser is a 48 count, 4 wall phrased dance to Rude Boy by Rihanna. The phrasing is easy, Part A is 32 counts and B is 16 counts. B is only done on the front and back walls. The dance combines Junior's signature steps with Amy's funky style.
  
  
• Kick Start by Kim Ray is a 48 count 4 wall dance done to Kick Start by JLS. 48 counts are only done 3 times and the last 16 counts are left out the rest of the dance.

Dances taught in the Intermediate/Advanced session were as follows:

• BC Beach taught Walkin' Blues by Jill Babinec and Debi Pancoast, an intermediate 48 count, 2 wall, west coast swing line dance danced to the music Walkin' Blues by Melinda Doolittle. It has some fun pelvis rocks, shorty george's, and a roly poly jazz box along with the more traditional steps.
  
  
• Bonnie Mathews taught Throw the Dice by Joey Warren, an advanced 2 wall funky phrased dance with a tag and a restart. It is danced to the music, Hit Me Up by Danny Fernandes ft. Josh Ramsay. A is easy, B gets "footsy", and the tag takes practice since the count is different from the beginning of the dance which you usually do at that point.
  
  
• Susan Webb taught Hurt Me So by Scott Blevins, a 32 count 4 wall intermediate dance with no tags or restarts danced to the music, Hurt Me So (Lack of Afro mix) by The Diplomats of Solid Sound. The walls are not hard to do after learning the first wall, but the fast tempo of the music makes the dance a little more of a challenge but another great dance by Scott.
  
  
• Renita Vega taught Never Enough by Joey Warren, a 32 count 2 wall very pretty smooth intermediate dance with 2 restarts and 1 tag danced to the music Addicted by Prince Royce.

Thanks to the teachers and the participants for making this a fun workshop and for all the great food everyone brought.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. We will not have a regional workshop in December since it is such a busy time for everyone. Have a great holiday season. I look forward to seeing you in January.
