National Dance Day – July 30th

Posted on July 29, 2011 by Amanda| Leave a comment

Of course we have to promote National Dance Day on July 30th!

Read more about it at the So You Think You Can Dance website.

Make sure you get out and dance.  I’m sure we’ll be doing just that at Saddle Ridge this weekend.  (I mean… after midnight tonight is July 30th so even if we’re only there tonight that counts as celebrating on July 30th I would think.)

Dizzy by Jo Thompson (to Dizzy by Scooter Lee)

Posted on July 27, 2011 by Amanda| Leave a comment

Hi guys!

I’m spending my night quite literally getting dizzy learning one of the versions of “Dizzy” done at Saddle Ridge. Thanks to our friend, Jenn, I finally got a step sheet so I could hunt down the right videos for it. I know a few folks I’ve talked to have wanted to learn this dance… so why re-invent the wheel when there is a good video out there already!

This version of Dizzy is choreographed by Jo Thompson. It is a 32-count, 4 wall, intermediate dance. If you would like to follow along with a step sheet, click here to get the search on Kick It.

It moves quickly so I recommend going through the instruction part of the video a few times first. Who knows… maybe we’ll teach this in the Tuesday Night “Line Dance Challenge” class…

(I’ve learned a few dances from the woman in this video so I think you’ll find it easy to follow.)

“Mean” Line Dance to Taylor Swift’s Song

Posted on May 31, 2011 by Amanda| 1 Comment

I still dislike this song… and I still sing it at the top of my lungs. But I like the dance so the video tutorial was recorded this evening for you to learn.

This dance can be used for numerous songs aside from “Mean.” We have used it to “Chicken Fried” and “What Was I Thinking?” to name a few. It is 48 count, 4 walls. I translated the step sheet (with Google Translator) and have posted it online here. We submitted it to Kick It to see if they’ll put it online since it wasn’t on their site yet… so we’ll see.

Here is our YouTube video. I apologize in advance for my inability to keep my balance (happens when I slow down the song) and inability to speak… It’s 90+ degrees today so I’m all melty in the brain. The dance is pretty easy once you get it down. I was able to learn it in one night. Just remember that it begins 4 counts after the initial lines that end with “picking on a weaker man.”

I’ve left the prior version of this post up in case you want to view it.
