Dance Floor Etiquette

With so many line dance parties going on in Malaysia these days, it is always good to remind ourselves every now and then of what we should and shouldn't do while on the dance floor. Following good dance floor etiquette will allow each dancer to enjoy herself/himself without denying others of their enjoyment too.

Gary Lafferty (UK) came up with this latest list, which he has posted on his website and also in WLDN, and I thought I'd help to spread his good advice by posting it here too :)

I am thrilled & honoured to be invited as Guest Instructor for the WOW Line Dance Spectacular 2010 in Shanghai, together with fellow Malaysian Jennifer Choo Sue Chin. Thanks Judy! :D

Main instructors include renown choreographers like JO THOMPSON, RACHAEL McENANEY, KATE SALA, SCOTT BLEVINS & NIELS POULSEN. Roy Verdonk was initially in the line-up but is unable to attend due to health reasons.

Quite a number of us from Malaysia will be heading to Shanghai this September for Judy Chen's annual line dance event. And some will be staying for the post-event tour to Beijing, arranged by Judy.

Those Malaysians who've attended her event before attest to her organisation skills and have only good things to say of the event. So......, if you haven't signed up but are keen to know more.....visit her website for more information.


See you there! :DD

WISHING EVERYONE A P'ROAR'SPEROUS NEW YEAR.

My New Year Resolution/Contribution

An article in The Star paper on Sunday (17 Jan 2010) prompted me to finally put into action what I had wished to do but never got around to it: to sponsor a child under the World Vision Sponsor A Child programme.

So last Sunday, I finally sat myself down in front of my computer, typed in the web address for the Malaysian chapter of World Vision (WV) and keyed in my details for the programme. On Monday, I faxed the application over to WV's office and today I received their confirmation email.

The simple gift of RM50 a month goes towards helping the child have access to health care, education, food, etc. The money doesn't go directly to the child, but is pooled together with that of other sponsors to implement long-term, community-wide changes that help break the vicious cycle of poverty. To find out more, check out www.worldvision.org or for Malaysians, go to www.worldvision.org.my

In two weeks' time, I should be receiving a photo of the child I sponsored. Can't wait... :D

惜福 (XiFu) - Beginner CNY line dance

Stepsheet & demo video for said dance:

My first CNY line dance choreography

Just completed my first Chinese New Year (CNY) line dance choreography!

An avid line dancer and acquaintance, KT Toh from Sabah, sent me the piece of new year music. Thanks KT!

I did a 32-count, 4-wall dance to it. Kept it simple as it being a new year dance, the idea is to have everyone (even Beginners) join in and be able to execute the steps.


The demo video has not been recorded yet. I'm hoping that'll happen sometime next week after which I shall post it here and on Youtube. The stepsheet will be posted at the same time too. However, if you wish to obtain it before then, send me an email at linedanz@gmail.com.

Gong Xi Gong Xi!
