On-line Dancing Options

Hopefully you've all found ways to get some activity into your lives. In case you're missing your weekly (or more) dose of dancing, here are some options that might interest you.

You could use this blog to access Copperknob and do the teaches and/or demos of any dance we do. Or look up dances directly.

Jo Thompson Symanski has put together 3 workout line dance videos. #1 is for beginners, #2 is also fairly easy and uses praise music, #3 is a 40 minute workout for a bit more experienced dancers. The link to the website is https://www.dancingforthedream.com/.

There is a lot available on Facebook. Here are some links to some on-line class videos:

A lot of professional instructors who normally teach at workshops are now stuck at home, and many of them are holding on-line classes/workshops/etc. Some are free, some you have to register ahead for. A good place to keep up on what's being offered is a daily newsletter that you can either sign up for or look at on the following website: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/world-line-dance-newsletter.

Mashup to Uptown Funk

Co Co found this video of movie dance clips mashed together and set to Uptown Funk. It's fun to watch.

Carole sent me this link to Mr. K's group dancing Stand By Me Cha with a note that the woman in the light-coloured top in the first row (nearest us when the video starts) does the steps very precisely. She moves out of frame occasionally.

Cry To Me video links

Remember Carole mentioning (during our second hour on Monday) a video of the choreographer (Paul McAdam) dancing Cry To Me? Well, she sent me that and 2 others:

Here's the fabulous Mr K dancing Cry To Me

Stand By Me Cha with counts

If you go to the Stand By Me Cha step sheet on Copperknob, the last entry in the column of videos is by Mr. K and Class and it has a slow walk-through of the dance with counts at the very end of it. The direct link to the video is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXWfr35-CcI&feature=player_embedded
Maybe we should do that counting-out-loud :-) 

Fun video - Proud Mary Burnin'

I can now post videos that you send me, without worrying about bothering people with unnecessary emails. Just make sure that when you email me with a link to a video you like, you write something in the email so I know it's really you sending it - I won't click on a link if I'm suspicious about the email.

Here's a dance video I really like. I would love to teach this dance but it'd be too hard on my feet right now. The wild and crazy guy in the front row is John Robinson, who choreographed So Sexxy. This makes me laugh every time I watch it.
