Winter Blues Dance Party this
Saturday, January 14
Come shake off the cold and kick the Winter Blues to the curb. It's time to Dance Party!
Long winter evenings are the perfect time to spend inside dancing with friends. Join us as we stir up some warmth to kick the new year off right! (Details and registration.)
The pre-dance lesson will be a quirky combination of Line Dance and Partner Dance, possibly featuring a Waltz Line/Partner Dance or maybe a Cha Cha Mixer. Additionally, the set list for the evening will feature all our favorite partner dances with an emphasis on music that also works for Line Dances. Line Dancer, meet Partner Dancer. Partner Dancer, meet Line Dancer. There's space on the floor for all of us!
 To give you a taste of how this works, here's a sample of the music we'll be playing on Saturday. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
If you're interested in joining the Line Dance Workshops with Dustin Betts, there is still space for you. Check out the details here, and sign up today!
You can find our library of playlists on our YouTube Channel at https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGEmFFdzKkkbGboz_LX217GJHSSTAus9_

11:59 (Central Standard Time)
by The Railers
Partner Dance: Nice, slow-but-spunky Cha Cha
Line Dance: 1159 - a 4-wall beginner but challenging dance with lots of "&," which is why it works so well as a Cha Cha, too

All Shook Up
by Whissell
Partner Dance: Triple or Double Time Swing. A bit more gritty than the version most of us know, this version still has all the bouncy, swingy fun of the orginal.
Line Dance: All Shook Up by DUSTIN BETTS!! Woot! We're hoping this is one of the dances he teaches Saturday afternoon.

Coffee Days and Whiskey Nights
by Robynn Shayne
Partner Dance: a lovely, medium speed Country Two-Step
Line Dance: Coffee Days and Whiskey Nights, another beginner dance, that (bizarrely) works really well to slow-ish Salsas, so expect to see this dance on other songs as well.

Die A Happy Man
by Rhett Thomas
Partner Dance: A fabulous Bolero or extra slow International Rumba
Line Dance: Die A Happy Man, an intermediate "WCS Style" Line dance. If you don't Bolero, feel free to watch the line dancers on this one - it's so pretty.

Fireball
by Pitbull featuring John Ryan
Partner Dance: Samba is my first choice, but also a good Merengue
Line Dance: Ah Si! This super easy and fun dance was orginally choreographed to Levantando Las Manos by El Simbolo, but it's so fun, we dance it to lots of things. If you want, you can probably pick this one up on the floor.

I Think Therefore I Am
by Billie Eilish
Partner Dance: West Coast Swing
Line Dance: Call My Bluff. This intermediate, 2-wall dance is another Dustin Betts creation!

Neon Moon
by Brooks and Dunn
Partner Dance: Rumba
Line Dance: El Paso, a partner-style line dance based on Cha Cha rhythm. This line dance is one of several that combines the world of lead-follow with choreography.
|
 |
Otra Vez
by Prince Royce
Partner Dance: Bachata
Line Dance: The Barn Dance (Full
name = "Dick and Geneva's Western Barn Dance") Like El Paso, this line dance is done with a partner in a circle, and is commonly done as a mixer. Also like El Paso, this dance provides a framework that meshes beautifully with lead-follow Bachata.

 |
Trouble
by Iggy Azalea featuring Jennifer Hudson
Partner Dance: Cha Cha, slow but sassy
Line Dance: Know Trouble, beginner-friendly and fun - anyone who does Cha Cha can pick up this dance on the fly.
