Long Live Cowboys - An Easy High Beginner Dance for our Level 2 Fall Session

 It’s true — I have a new dance, Long Live Cowboys. It’s a 48‑count, 4‑wall High Beginner dance with a restart and a tag, yet it stays simple, musical, and very dancer‑friendly. We’ll be learning it in September, and I’m really looking forward to dancing it with you. Demo and Teach Videos are up on u-tube.

Carleton Heights Community Centre Level 2 - August 5th Line-up

I definitely challenged my Level 2 class today with four new dances, including my new Spin Around Waltz — and they danced it so well. I honestly wish I had a video of them doing it, because the flow and confidence were beautiful to watch.

It was a lot of fun exploring these new dances together, and the group learned everything with focus, energy, and great teamwork. A solid hour of dancing and a really rewarding class.

Carleton Heights Community Centre Level 1 - August 5th Line-up

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!

This is what we did:

Electric Slide Alt Music - Don't Expect A Reply - The Blue Shadows

Country House Alt Music - I Can't Dance - Gram Parson

My New Dance High Valley Fools is an Improver Dance with a Canadian Flair

I’ve just finished a brand‑new improver line dance called High Valley Fools, set to Fools by High Valley, an energetic Canadian country band whose music always makes me smile. This one has a fun bounce, wizard steps, heel‑ball‑cross patterns, and a couple of easy turns that fit the rhythm perfectly.

New Boots, Montreal Smiles

I was so excited to pick up my new cowboy boots in Montreal yesterday. Here I am with the owner Johnny of Go West — such a great experience and a beautiful pair of boots.
