** MY "LATEST"
CHOREOGRAPHY **
GET REAL
- **NEW**
-
(VIDEO) This dance was introduced at the
Windy City Line
Dance Mania on October 12, 2009. It's an easy intermediate level dance done to
"Real Love" by Jody Watley. A great song with a strong dance beat.
A country alternative is "Why Don't We Just Dance" by Josh Turner.
MAMMA MARIA - (VIDEO) This is an "ultra-beginner" line dance that
can be done to a variety of music. I love dancing it to the song
"Mamma Maria" by Riccho E Poveri. Fun sing-along music and very easy dance.
MAKIN' IT - (VIDEO) Easy intermediate dance that in
cooperates some optional arm & hand movements to give the dance some
flare. Done to a happy song from the "Disco Era" called
"Makin' It by David Naughton. For a country alternative try "Sideways'
by Dierks Bentley.
SAG, DRAG & FALL - (VIDEO) This is my tribute to the fun "Rockabilly" sound
of the 50's. It's an energetic and lively beginner level, 32 count, four wall
dance done to "Sag, Drag & Fall" by Sid King & The Five Strings. The music
just makes you smile and snap your fingers.
** MY CHOREOGRAPHY
CATALOG **
ADAPTABLE - This Easy Intermediate Level
Dance was my first piece of choreography and reached the #1 spot on the
Kickit web site's "Most Taught" line dance chart. It also
placed first in 2007 at the JG2 Line Dance Marathon Choreographer's Competition.
(VIDEO)
BRAZIL
- A 32 count, two
wall dance done to "Brazil" by Bellini. The fun music has
an up tempo Latin beat.
(VIDEO)
DUCK SOUP - (New
VIDEO) This is a
Beginner Level "Swing" line dance that can be done to many medium
tempo songs. It incorporates some fun steps from the swing era.
How did I
come up with the name "Duck Soup"? I saw the term
"duck soup" in a World War Two magazine. There was a
column dealing with slang phrases used in the war years. I
saw the term, "duck soup" and read that it meant....
"something done easily". Since my new line dance was an
easy "swing" style line dance... I thought the name fit.
FEEL GOOD RUMBA -
An Easy Intermediate level line dance that can
be done in either a smooth and slower tempo or to a fast and fun beat.
You can change the 'feel of the dance" with the "tempo"
of the selected music. (VIDEO)
HAPPY
RADIO - (New
VIDEO) A Beginner Level Dance choreographed to a fun song from the "Disco Era" called "H. A.
P. P. Y. Radio" by Edwin Starr. The music is happy and UP-BEAT.
JENNY LEE
- This is a true Beginner Level Dance
that goes to a song called "Jenny Lee" by Jason Allen. It's a great
country song that makes you want to dance.
(VIDEO)
SUMMER
IS MAGIC - (VIDEO) A high beginner / easy intermediate, 32
count 4 wall dance. I was honored to be asked by award winning choreographer
and instructor,
John
Robinson, to collaborate with him on this dance. This cool
little dance is done to "The Summer Is Magic" by Tokyo Soul.
