Pure Country is back at the AMVETS on 4/20. Last time they were here they kept everyone up on the floor and dancing all night! For the Lessons this week we'll teach a fun line dance that we used to do very single week (by request) and work on building up our repertoire of schottische moves..

So join us for a night of 4/4 foot stompin' two steppin',house rockin',diesel truckin', beer drinkin' music with a definite uptempo beat.... Lessons Start at 6:30 and the Band at 8PM. You'll have a GOOD TIME.
Blog Time Monday!
We kicked off the Easter weekend right dancing the night away to the one and only Radio Ranch!
It's always Good Friday when these guys play.
The floor was packed with 40+ Dancers for the lessons and we started out by reviewing Rose Garden and then teaching Runaway to the Gary Allan's remake of the Classic Del Shannon hit by the same name. For the Partner lesson we taught Set me Free which we found goes very nicely to Sugar and Pai by the Boots Band.
It was great to see the couples out in force and filling the floor and also nice to see our new dance friends progressing so well.
Besides getting to celebrate Barb's birthday and dance with the best Party Crowd around, we saw some new faces, made new friends and got a chance to catch up with some old friends and Cheeky Monkeys making for an all around great night.

Good Time Friday!
If you missed last Friday, you missed a GOOD TIME! The night started out with a packed floor for the lessons and in honor of St Patty's Day we taught Irish Stew (Had a lot of people that didn't know it yet) and taught the partner dance Lover Please Come back to Lover Please by Billy Swan. (That song really sticks in your head). We got a lot of positive feedback on the couples dance. Guess it's a keeper. It was great to see Pure Country back, attendance was good and the club held the crowd most of the night. (A testament to the band doing a good job keeping everyone up on the floor and dancing.) We closed the place down at midnight and look forward to having these guys back again soon!

Another Boot Knockin’ and Butt Rockin’ Night
 |
| Radio Ranch |
It was another Boot Knockin’ and Butt Rockin’ night with the One Eyed Parrot Dance Club.
We had close to 40 folks show up for the lessons with additional friends coming in as the night went on. It was a busy lesson night and we started off by reviewing Baby Dance with Me (L) Played a few times last night to a chorus of women screaming “We Want Olly!”
(If you haven’t seen Olly yet you can Check him out HERE ) We then taught JeffersonExpress (P) and then taught A Wind Up (L) ( Errors on Video steps 17-20) and Something Fine (P) (Which we dance to Love Done Gone by Billy Currington). We even managed to fit in a very quick review of Wild at Heart to the song by the same name from Glorianna. (Nailed it. Restarts and all!)
For our entertainment pleasure Radio Ranch was back in Chicopee
“ Another super night last night with Radio Ranch at the AMVETS in Chicopee
Well, That’s the goal… ;)
It was nice to see our new friends Nicole and Glenn back, great to see how well all our new dancers are progressing. BTW Janet (Out with knee surgery) asked us to do a little grapevine for her last night and we want her to know we did more than a few. ;) get that leg strong and get back to see us.
See ya’ll Friday. Have a great week!
