Weekly Line Dance Top Ten Lists Updated
There Are a Lot of Line Dance Lists!
There are lots of places on the Web that track the “Top Ten” line dances on a weekly or monthly basis.
And every single one of the darn tootin’ thangs seem to have a different way of calculating just which dances are the top ten.
*sigh*
It’s enough to make one’s inner domestic diva want to take off her tiara and eat bon bons!
Never fear, dearest readers, all twelve of you who actually read this blog… I, the awesome, the fantastic, the studly, being the kind, generous, friendly, charming person that I am have set out to make sense out of that muddle of mish-mashy information and simply for you. Can I have an amen?!
Ok, so, what I’ve done, is create two articles on Squidoo:

Big D Bash and Pro-Am Line Dance
What the heck is “ProAm Line Dance?”
Hi everybody! Big D Bash is coming up fast. There are only 32 days before the event. Big D Bash is unique on the UCWDC circuit in that it is a “Line Dance only” event. No couples. No ProAm… we’ll almost no ProAm.
There is a little known category of dance competition called “ProAm Line Dance.” Here is how it works:
- You find an instructor (like me).
- You find some friends (optional, but it makes it a lot more fun)
- You and the instructor (and friends?) pick out a line dance and the instructor teaches it to you and/or coaches you. Any line dance at all! Did you catch that? You get to dance any line dance you want to dance!!!!
- You enter the contest. Here’s the “Pro/Am” part:
The instructor dances on the floor in the competition with you! You’re not out there all alone!
So if you get stuck or your mind goes blank, then you have someone to look at other than the other competitors. - You have a great time, you win cool prizes, accolades, applause, you’re invited to be on Oprah and the Tonight show! You become famous and retire and spend your weekends in the French Rivera. (that last bit is still being verified, but it’s what I heard! *wink*)
Basically it is a way for people who are “thinking” of doing line dance to get over that scary leap into the unknown: “Eeeeeeeek, you mean I won’t have a Pro to hang onto? Eeeeeeeeeek!”
We’ll you won’t actually be able to hang onto me, but I’ll be there on the floor with you so I’m your “emergency fallback plan.” *grin*
So, if you’d like to try out line dance competition in a fun, easy, inexpensive way, then give me a shout!

After a week of drama in Nashville, “New World Champion” sounds pretty good!
Worlds was a Roller Coaster Week
For those who like it brief… First the two big bits of news:
1. My dance partner and I won the Couples Silver II division and we are brand new “World Champions”
2. I won a spot on the US Team to attend the WDSF World DanceSport Games to be held in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in Sept 2013.
Those of course would be a couple of “high spots” on the proverbial roller coaster. I had fun, of course but since when has my life ever been a drama free zone? Hmmmm?
Well, friends, neighbors and all eight of you actually reading this, let me give you the play-by-play. Read the rest of this entry

Using Line Dancing as Exercise
Dancing may be fun but it isn’t always exercise…
I have had this article idea for a while now which I planned to do here on my blog. The idea was to talk about how dancing, while fun, isn’t always exercise.
When you “exercise” you basically have to get your heart and lungs and muscles exerting enough effort so that the body is “stressed.” We’re talking “good stress” here. Because when the body is stressed, in a good way, the body responds by becoming stronger.
And that is how you get healthier! Tah-Da!
Unfortunately, when you are in the studio practicing different dance techniques, your body is not always being stressed. You end up doing the same movement over and over again which can increase flexibility, agility, and muscle control, but it is NOT stressing the cardiovascular system.
>>> SIGH <<<
So, this idea for an article has been dancing around in my head for a while (pardon the pun). I was going to go on for a bit with my usual drama. *GASP* Do I hear my dearest readers crying out “Tony? Engage in Dra–MA?! Him?”
Oh shush! You guys be quite! 🙂
Anyway, before the inner audience in my head so rudely interrupted me …
Hmmm… why do I feel like I’m in a Read the rest of this entry
