danzbuddies mascots

March 27th 2011 My, how the kitties have grown ! Here are pics of Snowy and Princess at 5 months - right near the top of the garden tree......... We remember them as new born babies - how tiny and helpless they were in November..........

and.....how they start to develop their own individual character through the weeks and months.....

and now, they are near adulthood - each with its own good look and disposition.....

Princess - cute and cuddly, face seems always to have that 'fresh make-up' look

Snowy - so pretty in her all-white coat, always curious, yet so aloof.

Tiger - the leader of the pack, adventurous, so naughty at times but can be friendly too....pity we had to leave him behind to be with mum at the CC......

danzbuddies Wednesday Class - new dances

hi danzbuddies,

details of new dances to be taught this week are as follows:

- 'The Wheel Of Fortune Is Turning' by Rep Ghazali. 32 count, 4 wall, intermediate level dance. There is a simple tag, to be done at the end of walls 2, 5, 7 and 12. Song used is by Mark Ashley - 'Wheel of Fortune' , a good song with heavy danceable beats....Steps are fairly easy and go well with the music....

- 'Get Up Dance' by Maggie Gallagher. 64 count, 4 wall, intermediate level dance. Using the song 'Get Up Dance' by Alexis Dante & JM Sicky. The 64-count dance steps may seem daunting but are quite easy to master with practice.

- ' Wo Wen Tian' by John Ng. 32 count, 4 wall, beginner level dance. Really needs no introduction - everybody knows the song and everyone wants to do the dance.....

danzbuddies Wednesday Class - New Dances

hi danzbuddies,

Here are details of new dances we are doing for this week:

- 'Mojo Mambo' by by Ira Weisburd. 24 count, 2 wall, beginner level dance. No tags, no restarts. Although described as a 24 count dance, the syncopated counts make it more like a 48 count dance. Great music used for the dance - 'Mojo Mambo' by Mitch Woods & His Rockets 88. Another great choreography from Ira Weisburd (remember S.B.S. and Chachanela.....?) An easy 'no stress' dance !

- 'I'm No Good' by Rachael McEnaney. 64 count, 2 wall, intermediate level dance. Surprisingly, a fairly easy-to-learn dance from Rachael McEnaney this time. Good song used - "I'm No Good (For Ya Baby)' by Laura Bell Bundy.

- 'Please Don't Tease' by Yeo Yu Puay. 64 count, 2 wall, intermediate level dance. Love the song used -' Cliff Richard's 'Please Don't Tease' but than, I'm partial to any of Cliff Richard's songs. Steps are easy, the tags are well choreographed and go well with the song.

- 'A Ticket To The Blues' by Martie Papendorf. 32 count, 4 wall, beginner level dance. The song 'One Way Ticket' by Eruption had been used before for a 64 count dance. This version is a much simpler dance - a good one to enjoy the song with......
