Galaxy Rounds Nov. 5

Today I had the wonderful opportunity to teach again with Chuck and Darlyne McDowell. We were filling in for Sue and Phil Harris while they were down in San Diego promoting USA West next year (see Special Events on details and to register). The class is well into the Bolero rhythm having completed most all the phase 4 figures but one.
The first half of the class is mostly classic or golden classic dances with a few newer dances taught recently we don't want to forget. I did the first set and Chuck did the second set.  Then into Bolero for the 2nd hour.


Here is the program we did for the first hour:




BL:
Send Her Roses 4+2 FT by Palmquist
You Make My Pants Want to Get Up and Dance 4+2 JV by Hixson
Paparazzi 5 CHA by Kincaid
Silver Bells 4 WZ by Hinchman
Mi Vida 4+2 RB by Read
Chihuahua 4+1 MB by Scherrer
Too Many Rivers 4+2 STS by Hooper




Chuck:
I Wanta Quickstep 3 QS by Palmquist
Sunset Rumba 4+1 RB by Lawson
Dancing at Washington Square 4+1 TS/FT/JV by Robertson
Laurann 4+2 WZ by Preskitt
Doolittle Cha 4+1 CHA by Goss
The Last Blues Song 5+2 FT by
Rachel's Song 4 STS by Stairwald


The second hour was the bolero class time. We had questions about Turning Basic, Aida and Aida Line so reviewed that before going too far.


We then went on to teach four new figures and added a couple of new dances with these figures:
Riff Turn
Double Hand Opening Outs
Right Side Pass
1/2 Moon


We reviewed and taught the following dances:
Concierto de Aranjuez IV BOL by Nolen
El Reloj IV+1 BOL by Trankel/Glider (Riff Turns and Dbl Opening Outs)
For A Moment IV+1+1 BOL by Molitoris (Right Side Pass and 1/2 Moon)


Next week is our NCRDTA bi-monthly meeting so there won't be any class next week. Sue and Phil will continue on these figures when they are back in two weeks.


Many, many thanks to Chuck and Darlyne for their superb teaching skills, demonstrating the figures and answering all the questions everyone had.
