Hi Frenchy...

Grundy Gallop... aint seen it done for a while - but had a quick little run through whilst gawping at the computer (inbetween hitting the keys ..lol)... and got it straight off.... awwwwww memories.

Which California Blue are we talking about - I know of five dances that go by that name ???

Hi,

Unmistakable... Choreographed by (the late) Jean Bridgman. A good interpetation of the music. Good choice.

I still enjoy dancing California Blue, feel good factor dance in my book. I haven't danced "Where We've Been" for a long time now. Really danced it to death when it came out. Would have to get the script out & recap it.

Know what you mean Tigger Laughing

It didnt seem quite so hard second time around though. Funny how some dances you can jump up and do straight away. Another one I would like to get to grips with again is Patient Heart.

(I still cant teach myself dances from scripts Embarassed

)

ahhhhh.... Patient Heart... bit of a story that one of how it came to be danced in the UK. Cut a short story even shorter - Hank from Wales reckoned 'he' was the first to get it it danced in the UK.. but he was miffed to say the least to find out it was already being danced some 8 months to a year before he clapped eyes on it. Many thought only Michael Vera-Lobas choreographed it as only his name was on the sheet. This was eventually corrected to include Lisa Foord (double 'o'). MVL was gobsmacked to find he had about 20 dancers alongside him when he announced he was going to do a demo of a dance the brits will not have seen before. This was at the Crystal Bootees awards a while back. Check with Mike from Route 66 for all the details.

Blimey.... running off at the mouth again..... the dance brill... the music even better with Bekka singing just like her Mother (and theres another story .. going back to about 1970.... but another time... maybe.....lol)
