Wow! more severe storms over the weekend. I know that Marilyn and Ray McNeal were leaving China either yesterday or today and they were with Judy Chen and Showming earlier in the weekend so hope to hear from some of them today. All of this just in time for hurricane season to start. Hope all of the dancers (and everyone else) is okay. I'll keep you posted when I hear something.

Subject: Dance News from Orlando, FL USA
From: Sandy Albano, email: flutterby02@embarqmail.com; website: www.spreadyourwingsanddance.com
Next Sunday we will be traveling to Tampa again to join Arline Winerman at her monthly Social dance. The following weekend will be our Workshop/Social weekend in Orlando! That is Saturday, May 24th for the Workshop and Sunday, May 25th for the all-request dance party Social (starting at 1:30pm).
Here is the teaching agenda for the SATURDAY May 24th workshop which will begin promptly at 12:30pm. We think we have a great lineup of dances picked out. How wonderful that there are so many great ones to choose from!!!
SOLAMENTE by Ria Vos (Latin/Cha-32/4) Ria has written a lovely cha that should go over well. She has been putting out a lot of really fun dances this year.
THE SMELL OF YOUR SWEET PERFUME by Simon Ward (Waltz-fast-72/2) The buzz on this one is all over the world. The amazing rock rendition of Billie Jean by American Idol's David Cook has fueled the enthusiasm over this one, but Simon has met the challenge with a truly interesting and creative quick waltz. LouAnn Schemmel was kind enough to give me a head's up and some pointers on this one after she saw Simon introduce it at the LAPD a couple of weeks back. She also announced that this will be one of her Thursday Nite Teaches at the Marathon coming up in just a couple more weeks. You shouldn't miss this one!! We will definitely be there!
DEVIL'S BEAT by Kate Sala (Pop-56/4) Kate has just been on fire sending out dances lately and this one really interests me. I love the music although I have not previously heard of the artist. Even though it is 56 counts, the teach should go easier as the dance has several repeat patterns.
IRISH SPIRIT by Maggie Gallagher (Irish-32/4) I am so pleased to see this dance being picked up by teachers around the country. I am hearing from those who are teaching it, that it is going over very well. I love Maggie's Irish dances. The challenge to this one is the first set of 8 which is fully syncopated and is very fast. Once we get that down, the remainder is not difficult. It has one tag which includes most of the first set of 8 and an 8 count full turn walkaround. Not a problem.
PICK UP MY STROLL by Shaz Walton (Pop/Funky-64/2) Shaz does great funky dances and this one could by the next smash following her major success with FREAKY SKILLS! This dance goes the the new song, Four Minutes To Save The World by Madonna with Justin Timberlake. What a combo!
GUILTY by MIL (Classic Revival-48/2) A great Masters In Line classic! We are hoping to bring back and refresh a classic as a regular feature of the workshop. Everyone seems to be enjoying remembering these. I really enjoy Anastasia and her song Love Is A Crime sets the tone for this one.
If you are traveling in the Orlando, FL/Disney area, please drop in and visit us. We have classes in Altamonte Springs which is on the north side of Orlando on Tuesday and Wednesday nights!! Check my website for information. PS: Central FL will also be home to the Florida Masters in July, the Tampa Line Dance event in November and the UCWDC World's event in January of 2009. I will be looking forward to seeing lots of our US and international friends at these events! Come on down!
More Later!

Hi everyone. We just returned from a Mexican Riviera cruise with Michele Perron as guest instructor. 72 of us from various places in Alberta, British Columbia, Tennessee, Washington and New York danced our way across ports.

SUBJECT: WHAT DEB IS TEACHING IN SPAIN
Hello Everyone,
Sorry not had a chance to write in - Life is manic at the moment! Dances taught recently include - Our first love (popular), Saddle up shawty (great fun), The Knife (great pop track). After a fabulous week with Peter Metelnick & Alison Biggs in Calpe I taught 2 great dances that they had choreographed for that event - Like a dream - brilliant rumba to an awesome Eagles track, and Looking for love (fun summery track from a group called Barbados). Both dances went extremely well and are sure to be hits in my class. This week I will be teaching another P&A dance called El mundo bailando - Fantastic Spanish music from Belle Perez. The advanced group have been working on Pick up my stroll, phenomenon, My baby you and Isla bonita. This week I will probably be doing Niels waltz - On the way.
Best wishes,
Debbie (Spain)
