danzbuddies Wednesday Class - new dances

hi danzbuddies,

here are details of new dances we will be doing for this week:

- 'Some Kind of Wonderful' - another good dance from Peter & Alison. 32 count , 4 wall, beginner level. No tag, no restart. Steps are easy without any difficult turnings. Great treatment of the old song - 'Some Kind of Wonderful' by Michael Buble.

- 'Obanna Cha' by Rep Ghazali. 32 count, 4 wall, intermediate level. Two restarts and one tag. Steps may seem difficult- but, really are quite easy to manage. Song is 'Balla Balla' by Befour.

- 'Hey Frankie!' - another one from Rep Gazali. 64 count, 4 wall, intermediate level. Interesting dance with some rumba and mambao steps.Although at 64 counts, the steps are not complicated. Nice song, 'Frankie' by Sister Sledge with a 'Reggae Beat' treatment.

danzbuddies Community Service II

Sunday 18th October 2009

It was time again for the Singapore Recreation Club's Charity Line Dance Party and on Saturday night, our danzbuddies joined some 500 line dancers at the air-conditioned tented venue on the Padang for 4 hours of great line dancing fun. In addition to the line dancing, there were stage performances by the ever-popular 'Matthew and The Mandarins', Indonesian singers - Queen and Hanche (the Elvis of Indonesia) and dancers from the Jamiyah Children's Home. The Charity Line Dance event raised a sum of $28,000 for the Jamiyah Children's Home - additional sums donated brought the total to $32,000. The Jamiyah Singapore board and residents were most grateful and showed their appreciation by showing up in great numbers to dance with the crowd.

We are happy to be part of the team which helped put this event together. A big 'Thank You' to all danzbuddies for your donations and for turning up in support of the event.
And a big 'Thank You' to Matthew Tan and the Mandarins, Queen and Hanche - they came and performed at the event on a 'FOC' basis, as they did the last two years before.....we really salute them for their kind generosity....

danzbuddies Wednesday class - new dances

hi danzbuddies,

For this week, we will be introducing the following dances:

- 'Heads Up' by Teresa & Vera. 64 count, 4 wall, intermediate level with 1 simple tag (end of wall 2) and 1 restart (Wall 5). Good song 'Keeping Your Head Up' by Girls Can't Catch.

- 'Spanish Fly' by Debbie McLaughlin to song of the same name by Eric Benet. 32 count, 4 wall, intermediate level. A nice "8 and 1" cha cha beat dance. Except for the full spin turn at the end, the dance is quite easy to do.....so, dun worry, if you don't fancy doing the full turn - replace it with a "hold" for 1 count, simple as that.

- 'Argentina' another great dance from Maggie Gallagher. 64 count, 4 wall, intermediate level.
Song is 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina'. The version by Generation Pop gives a fast pop beat to the song. You may want to try out some tango 'spanish arms' movements.

Two more dances to be shared on Friday are:

- 'San Francisco Cha' by Kathy Hunyadi. The song "San Francisco' by Scott McKenzie should be familiar to everyone. 32 count, 2 wall, beginner level. A very easy dance, will be no problem for all.

- 'Here With You' a new dance choreographed by our own Celina & Hoe using a Michael Jackson
number - 'You Are Not Alone'. 48 count, 2 wall, intermediate level.
