1. Thanks Raul. The clip with the guy is mirrored and he explains each step slowly but I'm not sure the steps are as good as the 2 women? Could we use both and come up with a combo routine?On Tue, Apr 30, 2024, 6:02 PM <[email protected]> wrote:

   Hello All:We had a great dance session last Monday !!!Attendees were (10): Bev Meredith, Clare Nowak, Helen Cromb, James Swinton, Melva Turner, Michael Irving, Peg Ryan, Sue Huntsman, Suzi Krawczyk, and Raul Arregui.We danced: Calm Down – Nigerian (Afropop), Dabke – Palestinian Circle Dance, Dancing on Water – Jewish Circle Dance (song by Finjan), La Bicicleta – Vallenato (Carlos Vives Shakira), Men In Black – Song by Will Smith, Sesere Eeye – Torres Strait Traditional Song, Shivers – Line Dance (Ed Sheeran), Valle Pogonishte – Albanian (Sami Kallmi), and Waka Waka – Latin Pop (Shakira).We were very comfortable with the first two of the four new choreographies we've been working on for a few weeks (Dabke and Shivers), and even with the third new choreography (Sesere Eeye); however we struggle a bit with the fourth one (Calm Down) and it's due to the bad video tutorial from Youtube. The group decided to change tutorial and use a demo dance by two ladies from Instagram, slowing down their dance to 75% and use that video as tutorial. I have prepared that video for our group, here is the link:https://arregui.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/calm-down-dance-tutorial-by-laotrapaqui-tutorial.mp4Also, I found another Calm Down tutorial which might work for our group, where the instructor shows each move step-by-step, just in case it might help here is the link too:https://arregui.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/calm-down-step-by-step-tutorial-jddance.mp4Please try these and let me know what tutorial you prefer (the 2 x ladies or the single guy) and we'll do them together next week. I am sure in a couple of dance sessions we'll have Calm Down ready to dance.REMINDER: Our next group party will be on Monday 20th May from 4:30pm. Please BYO drinks and food to share, and get ready to dance a lot !! Theme not decided yet, we'll discuss it at the next dance session. Please invite anyone who might want to join our dance party, the more the merrier !!!HEADS UP: Michael and I will be out on holiday from 5th June to 26th June; if anyone wants to runs the dance sessions for the group please let me know asap; otherwise we will have a winter break !! Last dance session before winter break will be on Mon 3rd June, then we'll have 3 weeks of break and then next dance session will be on Mon 1st July 4:30pm !!!See you Monday 7th May 4:30pm at the ANNEX for another dance session !!!Hugs & kisses,Raul Arregui[email protected] or [email protected]0418 273 504
