Back in Action @ the Chicopee AMVETS!

Last Friday 

We finally got a chance to dance after the snowstorm that wiped out dancing the previous week at the Chicopee AMVETS. (and everywhere else)

We were planning for a smaller crowd because we knew a lot of folks go away for Presidents weekend but were pleasantly surprised to have over 40 folks out. (More than we expected!) I’m sure the lack of dancing the week before and the band Chickenwire, had something to do with that.

We started out the lessons by teaching the new line dance “Is it Friday Yet” by Diana Dawson, a 32 Count / 4 Wall Improver Line Dance to the song by the same name by Gord Bamford. What a great song, and our new theme song for Friday nights. We received a lot of good feedback on this one. For the review we taught the Partner dance "Backwoods Boatin’" to the song Pontoon, another one that we got great feedback on.

Chickenwire was back on stage and did a great job as always laying down an uptempo,  rock solid, consistent beat backed by great vocals.  They worked in a bunch of our favorites, Act Naturally, Toes, etc and made us realize we have to review Copperhead Road. They even worked in Wagon Wheel so we could do our new couples dance! Great Musicians and all around nice guys. They’ll be back March 8^th so make a note!

This Friday 

We’re switching things up a bit and will review “Is it Friday Yet”  and then teach a new line dance instead of a partner dance. Next week we will (By request) teach a series of “El Paso” moves to help folks put some variations into the basic dance.  This week Just N Kace will be back on stage with a playlist of good Heel Slapping, Boots Tapping gotta get up and dance tunes that will keep you on the floor all night! Great musicians  , really nice friendly people. Come out and see em!
