New Dance Demo Filmed at Living Legends of Dance

I am back from National Living Legends of Dance with lots of new music and a new demo video. They asked me to Teach, DJ, and Demo this year and I could not have been any happier to oblige them! A little background on this demo:

I agreed to the demo without a partner and they asked fellow Legend Cindy Black. We were supposed to dance for about 2 minutes and then someone was supposed to cut in and lead me. Then someone else was going to cut in and so on for the full song. Well the leader who was supposed to cut in got sick and never showed up in the ballroom meaning we got stuck with the full song…A second point of interest is that this is only the third time Cindy and I danced together…With all that said I think we handled the circumstances quite well…well you be the judge!

The National Living Legends of Dance gives 10-15 “Star Awards” out every year and has since 1994. Dancers who are inducted have demonstrated a love of the music that drives their dance style, have been active in the preservation of that dance’s roots, and are or have used their dancing to positively impact the people in their community.

She will be home resting while we swing our butts off! I have a new 32 count pattern cycle that is easy and fun to dance. Plus over these last few years a great new partner passing WCS game, centered around the very patterns you will learn, has surfaced…Be prepared to be dancing (and possibly rolling) in the isles after this one of a kind experience!
