James Richardson was
teaching, Cassandra Schwartz as demo and Chris Uren as DJ.
Tonight was really
good because there were lots of people here. Lisa Pang who works on the door
brought along her daughter Kaitlyn who seemed to love it. She got in lots of
dances with lots of the men. For the classes I partnered her up as she didn't know
many of us and I was happy to. She was really good.
Tonight’s intermediate
routine looked like this:
This seems pretty straight
forward. There is nothing too complicated. As I was partnering Kaitlyn I didn't get a chance to go round and see how others were finding it. The hardest part
will be doing the one handed mambo in freestyle. I find that the guys need to
make a clear step forward, and have good tension in their arm to give a pull
back to get me to do that mambo. With it led well it’s a good move. Overall the
routine was good thanks to James Richardson teaching.
The class was very busy with
it being almost as many men as women there. I had some great dances. If you weren't here, why? You missed out on a good night. The standard of dancers was really
good.
The music was really good
thanks to Chris Uren. Chris has recently become a dad for the first time. James
did mention it. I found that the music was very varied.
One thing that this place
lacks is in freestyle good lighting to be able to film people. I find that I get
a good video on the camera, but once I get it on my computer I can’t seem to
see the people in the video. I will look into getting camera or video camera
that I can use in this low light to get video.
My favourite song tonight
was the original version of Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera.
This is the song from YouTube:
I like this song as it has
the right rhythm to dance to. I find this song easy to dance to. It’s not too
fast but not too slow. I have had some good dances to this song in the past. This
is my favourite song of all time.
I am looking forward to Wednesday night at Queen’s Hall in Leeds, 8pm.
