here are new dances we are sharing on Wednesday.........

- 'Blame It On The Girls' by Kate Sala. 64 counts, 4 walls, intermediate level. No tag, no restart ! Dance to a nice cute number by MIKA - 'Blame It On The Girls'. Dance steps are fairly easy to catch, except perhaps the last two sections.

Great song 'Super Girl' by Super Junior M, the famous boyband originally from S. Korea with members from China, thus the great mix of english and chinese singing. A great dance with some funky hand movements......

- 'Tap Room Boogie' by Robbie McGowan Hickie using a great country number 'Maxine's Tap-Room Boogie' by Travis Kidd. 64 counts, 4 walls, intermediate level. The song is fast, so there is need to focus to keep pace with the dance steps which are really quite easy.

Hi danzbuddies,

here are dances we will share for this week:

- 'KISSING IN THE BACK ROW' - by Karla & Paul Dornstedt. 64 count, 2 wall, beginner level. 2 easy tags (more like restarts, actually). Although dance has 8 sections , most have mirrored routines and steps are the easy types. Nice 'oldies' song by Dominic Kirwan - a good 'no stress' dance.

- 'MAMBOTASTIC' - by Kate Sala. 32 count, 4 wall, intermediate level. 3 tags , going from 6 to 16 to 20 counts on walls 2, 4 and 6 respectively. An interesting choreography with lots of 'mambo steps'.....song is "Do You Remember' by Neil Sedeka.

- 'WHY SO SERIOUS' - by Neville Fitzgerald & Julie Harris. 48 count, 4 wall, intermediate level, with 1 tag. Dance is 2 wall until after the tag, after which it becomes a 2 wall dance. Song used is 'Say It' by Booty Luv. Not so easy but can be enjoyable once you master the steps....

We are introducing a dance based on a 'chinese oldies' song :

- 'MEI LAN MEI LAN WU AI NI' - by Lilian Ti. A phrased dance with part A and Part B, both with very easy steps. We are using a real cha cha cha version of the song and the dance will have the following sequence - 'AAB, AA, AAB, AAB, A ending'

- 'Evacuate The Dance Floor' by Mike Hitchen. 64 count, 2 wall, intermediate level, no tag, no restart. Danced to a nice song by Cascada.
