The joys of Dancz

Hello Danczers and Visitors,

It seems like a while since I posted my last entry. It was nice to have some time off during the Jubilee celebrations to recharge my batteries. As always dancing featured as part of my time off with a visit to Blackpool Wintergardens to watch the open professional Latin competition. I had a fantastic time, and it was fabulous to get to see some exceptionally talented dancers in action. This week sees the start of another Dancz term- this will be our last full term until September!!

This term we've spiced up our timetable with the addition of sequence danczing. We've decided to dance the popular sequence dances to pop music, to make it appealing to danczers of all ages to join in. I'm really looking forward to the class this evening - it's always nice to teach something new.

We had fun during last nights class with the introduction of the Fleckerl in the Viennese Waltz. There was a lot of reverse (left) Fleckerl turning, I'm surprised we were all able to walk in a straight line by the end of the session. As promised please find the rhyme to help you master the sequence
Men
In front, side, in front, side, behind, side

Ladies
Side, behind, side, in front, side, in front

I'm sure I'll be able to tell those who have practiced off the Dancz floor.

Happy Danczing.
