SUBJECT: Review of Friday Night’s Line Dance Social with Marie Sorensen
FROM: Thea Baker bakermail@windstream.net
Friday night’s line dance social with Marie Sorensen, hosted by the White County Star Steppers at the Lightle Center in Searcy, AR, had a good turn out, with dancers and instructors traveling some distance from Little Rock, Newport, and Conway to join the fun. And fun it was! The evening was a feast of good food and new friendship as several of us were meeting each other for the first time. And of course we were all meeting Marie for the first time.
The evening didn’t run quite on schedule, but not far behind. Many were coming in straight from work and in need of some re-fueling to get their dance on. Following a little food and some open dance, Marie took the floor at 7:20 and didn’t relinquish it until her last teach was over at 9:40. Of the 5 dances taught—One Night At A Time, My Last Tears, the ever-popular Love JoAnn, Lemon Tree, and Country’s Rockin’ (and the one bonus oldie Marie pulled out of her pocket, Come Dance With Me, which her boyfriend Peter Borup surprised us all by singing)—it was the last two teaches of her own choreography that rocked the dance floor. Both dances are high energy and fun. Lemon Tree is set to the Trini Lopez 1965 hit of the same name, which made the song older than some of the dancers on the floor and entirely new to them. Trini would certainly have approved of this himself. But it was Country’s Rockin’ with its abundance of f-a-s-t footwork and contra confusion that ignited the dance floor with fun. Marie then did reviews of all 5 dances and Peter gave his best rendition of One Night At A Time for us to dance to, which of course shook things up a bit as karaoke is somewhat more challenging to dance to than recorded music.
If there was any disappointment to the evening it was as one distant observer remarked, “Saving the best for last didn’t work because Marie had to leave earlier than expected and Boogie Woogie Roll didn’t get taught.” This is of course is the dance that was co-choreographed by the (well-known and wonderful choreographer and person!) Sue Ann Ehmann and myself along with Marie specifically for the night’s event and dedicated to her Southern U.S. tour. But for sure we thank all of you who have been learning and teaching this fun dance. And we appreciate the favorable comments we’ve been receiving and hope you will keep enjoying the dance for a long time to come.
Warm regards to line dancers everywhere,
