Today was the final class of my summer session, and goodbyes are never easy. We covered a lot of dances in a short time, and you all danced beautifully. We manage to review eight of them before finishing.
Thank you for being part of this group. I loved having you in my class. Come dance with me again soon or maybe I’ll see you on the dance floor..
This is what we did:
Electric Slide Alt Music - I Can't Love You Anymore - Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen
Country House Alt Music - I Can't Dance - Gram Parson
Fun For All Alt music Country Girl - Brinsley Schwarz
The group was flying today. After five weeks, everything is really falling into place and the progress shows. You danced with confidence and great energy. We even threw in an extra dance to top up the day. Keep dancing — it suits you.

Country House Alt Music - I Can't Dance - Gram Parson
Today was a solid learning day for my Level One class. We covered a lot of new material: dealing with holds, introducing the step‑lock‑step combination, cross rock, the turning K‑step, the Charleston, and the rumba box. That’s a big list for beginners, and it was really nice to see how well everyone handled each new element.
The progress — and especially the confidence — is really starting to show in your dancing. You’re moving with intention, picking things up faster, and trusting your bodies more each week.
Well done, everyone!

Country House Alt Music - I Can't Dance - Gram Parson
This week in Level 1 we introduced the V‑step, the jazz box with a ¼ turn, hip bumps, and a fun cross‑point combination. Everyone slipped into the groove so naturally. I saw a noticeable step forward from the whole group, and we spent a lovely hour together dancing.

Electric Slide Alt Music - Lucky to Me - The Blue Shadows

Today in Level One we learned a few new steps, including the Jazz Box, the K‑Step, the Scuff and the Pivot/Paddle Turn. We also reviewed the Rocking Chair and learned the Electric Slide. Everyone seemed in great spirits, and the atmosphere was very agreeable. See you next week on the dance floor.

Quitter's Groove
Fly Like A Bird Twice
Great first day with our new Level One group. We started completely from scratch and learned four dances, plus a bit of Fly Like a Bird before the fire alarm sent us outside. Once we were out there, we figured—why not dance? So we reviewed Quitter’s Groove without music, and the footwork was suddenly much easier the second time. Good work, everyone. Until next week.
Here’s what we did — feel free to check the dances out ahead of class.
Quitter's Groove Twice
We introduced a brand‑new beginner dance today — Quitter’s Groove — and the class picked it up quickly and confidently. They especially enjoyed the footwork in the last eight counts. Such a friendly, easygoing group.
Level 1 and already grooving — Quitter’s Groove landed perfectly today.
