SUBJECT: MIDNIGHT RODEO, OCALA, FL
FROM: MARILYN MCNEAL, BoarsNestFarm@aol.com
Dancing in the Villages is always such a pleasure for me. The facilities are all beautiful, the restaurants and shoppping plentiful, the dancers happy and friendly. Michael Barr and Michele Burton were the stars this weekend, at an all day Line Dance workshop at Colony Cottage, hosted by Jean Brewer. It was a full house of line dancers. Everyone enjoyed the variety of dances and the opportunity to meet Michael and Michele in a more personal setting. They are a class act, wonderful instructors and create a personal relationship with their audience.
Jean and her tireless staff (you have to be an energizer bunny to keep up with Jean!) decorated the dance hall with color everywhere, balloons, posters, banners, all with a Luau theme. Dancers were also dressed accordingly. Michael and Michele entertained us with a nice selection of dances, both old and new. Their approach to providing a quality event is dancer-friendly, kind and genuine. Thank you both, for another full day of dance and fellowship. Special thanks to Jean for bringing this couple to the Villages for us all to enjoy, and also to those behind the scene who help to make these times successful. We'll look forward to seeing all those pictures taken by photographer, Jeff Miller!

Subject- Malta Workshop
from: ginnysboots@aol.com
Just wanted to say what a delight it was to have Rosie Multari, Lynne Martine, & Rona Kay to our area in upstate NY, Malta at the Buckboard Saloon last Sat. The girls did a fantastic job & all good feed back received. The dances they taught were appropriate 7 suitable for all levels and they are so much fun to be with. They'll be at the Tim Gillis workshop in April & I for one can't wait to see & be taught by them again.
This fantastic trio braved a super storm to reach us & we all appreciate them

SUBJECT: DANCE JAM THANK YOU and MASTERPIECE
FROM: Denise Brault Denise.Brault@yahoo.com
A big thanks to all who made Dance Jam a success last Saturday, Christopher Petre and Debi Pancoast joined me for a day of intermediate line dances with a fun crowd of dancers. Thanks to Denise Richard for keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
I taught my ultra-beginner, ultra-funky dance called MASTERPIECE and have had a lot of emails with good feedback, so I’ve posted it on my website if you’d like to take a look. It’s beginner, but the intermediate dancers seemed to be enjoying it, adding their own funky variations. Feel free to add as much attitude as you’d like when you dance it! J www.DeniseBrault.com
SUBJECT: WHAT RYAN IS TEACHING IN THE UK
Started off this week with Dee's great new dance BABY BABY BABY. This dance ticks all of the right boxes choreographed to a great pop track and a relatively easy but interesting dance with some different steps like the heel twist. Another good Justin Bieber track after the success of Love Ya. This week was also the first week of Neville and Julie's latest MURDER MY HEART. This is a new NC2S choreographed to a powerful Michael Bolton track. Both dances went very well.
The current class favourite is Maggie's GAVE IT ALL AWAY. Only our second week for this brill dance but all were able to pretty much remember it. Super dance. Also our second week for Dee's OPEN UP YOUR HEART. This is an easy one to have in the mix, very basic dance that just works well to a great pop track by Kim Sozzi.
In revision we also worked through Rob's cool little dance GET ON DOWN. One of the funky favourites of the moment is Shaz's IF WE EVER MEET AGAIN. Good to see people teaching this one now. A good track By Timbaland which is currently one of the single chart toppers. On the mainstream side of things BROKEN HEELS and WILD have both gone well. Jordan's WHAT U WANNA DO is one of my own favourite dances just now and also going strong in class. Scott's NO SALVATION probably the advanced hit.
Stupid In Love, Americano, Love Ya, Holdin' It Down, Tic Tok Drop, and I Gotta Feeling all going well. Also danced NY Cha, What About, Sentimental, It's Goin' Round Round, Time To Play, U Got It All, Shootin' Star, Sexy Chick, Playing With Fire, Must Get Free, Can't Get Involved etc.
All for now,

SUBJECT: DESERT DANCE LINE DANCE FESTIVAL
From: Janet Wallace (janetjim.az@netzero.net)
Looking for a fun event … Why not join us for the 2nd Annual Desert Dance Line Dance Festival - June 4th-6th - Last year in Tucson - This year in Mesa/Phoenix - With Shaz, Junior & Big Dave teaching you hot new dances from around the world … new ones from Shaz & Junior themselves - plus exclusive new releases from the UK, taught by Dave.
The event itself is at a beautiful Adult Community, 'Las Palmas Grand' (Mesa - East Phoenix), with a wonderful floating dance floor. A special rate has been arranged at nearby Country Inn & Suites and shuttle service is available to the venue.
There will be a rolling mix of teaches, recaps & social dancing non-stop throughout the event - Friday 1pm-9.30pm, Saturday 10am-9.30pm & Sunday 10am-4pm - With two rooms offering dancing for all levels throughout the weekend.
But this event is a bit different ........ As well as non-stop dancing at the event itself, the idea is also to maximize the fun time !! - So each night at 9.30pm we close & then relocate to nearby venues where we can eat, drink & be merry and still dance some more until the early hours - An Option for the party people !! ........ On Friday evening we are going to a Sports Bar called Sullivan's where the resident DJ will play our requests & we can find some space to dance … and some excellent “wings and skins“. On Saturday evening it will be a country bar in the desert called Filly's - It will have live music going on in the bar & we will have our own outdoor dance floor area, with Dave as DJ - Now that really will be 'Dancing In The Desert ..... Under the Stars ..........But still at a Bar .......... How awesome is that !!!!!!
We’ll also get together on the Thursday evening - This year we are planning to meet up around 4pm for some sight-seeing and refreshments at Goldfield Ghost Town in Apache Junction at the foot of the Superstition Mountains (Ever hear of the “Lost Dutchman Mines”?) - Then move on to a bar called Superstition Skies where Dave will DJ a social evening & we'll have a meal. Expect real cowboy environments…. There are rails to tie up the horses outside!!
Before the event … Come a few days early and enjoy a tour to the Grand Canyon and Sedona - 3 days 2 nights. See the grandeur of the Grand Canyon, the beauty of the red rocks of Sedona, a photographers dream views from an open jeep, and when the dinner bell rings get an all-you-can-eat Chuckwagon grub on a tin plate, then enjoy cowboy's music, storytelling and comedy . Our sightseeing will continue, ending in Scottsdale's Old Town.
After the event … on Sunday afternoon Shaz & Dave will be heading back to Tucson to party on Sunday evening with all who would like to join them !!

Subject: MLDE (Massachusetts Line Dance Exchange - workshop)
Submitted by: Charlene Wiencek (Instructor/DJ)
This past weekend I attended the first MLDE workshop (Massachusetts Line Dance Exchange). The event was held at the Hayloft Barn in Sturbridge, MA It was hosted by Forty Arroyo or as I am now going to start referring to her as, Miss Electric! (Forty, I need to know! Where does that always positive, warm, welcoming, endless, happy, friendly, upbeat energy you have come from??? WOW! You Go Girl!) I was fortunate enough to be an invited instructor at this event (thank you Forty.). But, I was also there this weekend to learn new dances. And I must say, I absolutely loved every dance taught. (I also loved every song choice.) All the dances are now on my "gotta' teach list". Please believe me, as I am being very honest here, when I say that I don't remember another workshop where I have come away with so very many "user friendly" dances. Not once this weekend did I feel overwhelmed, confused or just too brain worn out to learn. The instructors I learned from all did a positively superior job with their presentations. Forty scheduled each instructor with plenty of time so that no one, not an instructor, not a dancer, ever felt rushed. Our DJ for this past weekend was Joe Steele. Joe did an absolutely superb job! Joe was there not only to play all of the favorites as well as every request, but if we missed a step (forgot) Joe was prepared to call out those steps (which he did if we just couldn't recall - especially to a few of those 'oldies but goodies.") Great job Joe!
Here is a list of the dances taught this weekend: Dave Sickles taught This & That and Linda Eh, Charlene Wiencek (that's me) taught Under the Sun and One of Those (line), Donna Shea taught Rumba Ride, Todd Lescarbeau taught Upside Down For Starters and Rum 'N' Cocaah Cola, Staci Cutler taught Upside Down (int) and Hypnotized, Joe Steele taught Anything Goes and Groovy Little Dance. We were also scheduled to learn What's On the Menu which would have been taught by Bob Grundy. Bob was scheduled to teach during the early hours of the evening dance but had to leave us before his turn (hopefully another time Bob). So, Forty filled in with a teach of Pa- leez.
We all had a fun filled day/night of instruction, review,and open dancing. For what was originally labled "just a workshop", this workshop turned out to be very special. So, should there be another (and I'm guessing there will be) try very, very hard not to miss it!
Happy dancing everyone!

SUBJECT: Shaken Not Stirred Stepsheet & Video......Conflict?
FROM: Thea bakermail@windstream.net
Is anyone besides me having trouble with counts 67&8 in section 4 of Shaken Not Stirred (Paul McAdam)? I'm jonesing to learn this dance and need some help with it. I got so frustrated trying to figure out the stepsheet, I went to the video, but that didn't help either because I think those counts are being danced differently from what's on the stepsheet. Directionwise, I'm sure Paul is turning all lefts, no rights. But on 5&6 7&8 is he doing all 1/4's or is it 1/4, 1/2, 1/4. I can't quite figure out how many turns I'm seeing and I can't see but one syncopation. Between the stepsheet and the video, I can't figure out how I'm supposed to dance this part. I posted a question a few days ago, but nobody answered in the newsletter. One person wrote privately and suggested I ask Paul himself. I sent an email but haven't had a reply (yet). I'm wanting to teach this dance this week and just can't work these steps out w/o some help. Help me, Help me! Please!

SUBJECT: MASSACHUSETTS LINE DANCE EXCHANGE, HAYLOFT BARN IN
STURBRIDGE, MA
FROM: msp
The first Massachusetts Line Dance Exchange was held Saturday, March 6 at the Hayloft Barn in Sturbridge, MA and it was a fabulous success in many ways. I'm still too tired to list the dances done, but you can get a view on YouTube and at some point Facebook as well, I'm sure.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETXV5jWLnlQ (short excerpts of instructors/DJ)
Forty makes everyone feel welcome and special and makes sure that all newbies, intermediates, young adults to seniors have a chance to enjoy their favorite music and dances. It was fun for me to meet Joe Steele as DJ/instructor. He was relaxed and a joy to work with. And love his new dance - Groovy Little Dance. Thanks Joe for everything!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nfb53tJwA9M (Joe's dance)
And a big thank you to Bob G., David S., Charlene W., Todd L., Staci C. and Donna S. for your teaching, dancing and time shared with the dancers. Smooth, comfortable, professional and fun! (Thanks Donna and Todd for the spins around the floor with an East Coast Swing! Loved it!!!!!)
No frills - just music and dancing at the barn. Great interaction between dancers and instructors/DJ.
Want some no frills - come just as you are - dance your feet off and have some light-hearted, crazy fun with a great dance instructor(s)? Then come on out and join us at the Hayloft any Friday, and any future MLDE workshops to come. All are welcome.

What a fantastic, fun day it was! So many great instructors! And Forty Arroyo was such a great hostess, so vibrant, so full of energy. Every time there was open dancing between the lessons and she saw some of us having trouble with a dance, she jumped right in and gave us a refresher! Joe Steele, the DJ that day, did such a wonderful job by playing all our favorites dances, and later on even gave us lessons to a few dances.
The whole day was packed with fun, dancing, and friendship.
Thank you Forty Arroyo for the great job you did by putting together this wonderful day!
