NC Regional Line Dance Workshop Review

Review by Susan Webb. Thanks Susan!

Susan Webb hosted a regional line dance workshop in Stantonsburg on Saturday, February 25 at her place on the farm from 11:00-5:00. We had a fun filled day learning new dances, open dancing many of our favorites, and enjoying the fabulous food everyone brought. We had several new people who had not attended before and were so happy to see them and hope they will continue to come to our regionals. Thanks to all the instructors and participants who came and made it a great workshop. We got good feedback about all the dances our local regional instructors taught. Dances taught were as follows:

Susan Webb - Instructor
• La Luna (steps)(video) by Peter and Alison- 64 count, 2 wall intermediate dance with no tags or restarts . Music is Stand by Me (La Luna) by Prince Royce, a great remake of the original song with mixed English and Spanish lyrics. The dance is all straight counts which dances fast and quite well to the music.

Renita Vega - Instructor
• Hi-A-Ma Cha (steps)(video) by Rachael McEnaney-48 count, 2 wall intermediate latin dance with one 4 count tag. Music is Hi-A-Ma(Pata Pata)by Milk and Sugar ft. Mirian Makeba & Jungle Brothers. This is a nice cha cha dance which is more on the easy intermediate side.

BC Beach - Instructor
• Folla me to da Floor (steps)(video) by Guyton Mundy-32 count, 4 wall intermediate funky dance with one restart. Music is Girls on the Dance Floor by Far East Movement & Stereotypes. This is a good doable mainstream dance by Guyton with no arm movements.

Brenda Smith - Instructor
• Had a Bad Day (steps)(video) by Rachael McEnaney-32 count, 2 wall high intermediate dance with 2 restarts. Music is Had A Bad Day by Calle Kristiansson. The rhythm of the dance is NC2 with lots of turns and is quite pretty.

Bonnie Mathews - Instructor
• Misty Blue (steps)(video) by Julia Wetzel-32 count 2 wall intermediate dance with one restart. Music is Misty Blue by Monica. The dance has many “a” counts in it but the dance is not too hard and beautifully flowy.
