AI KNOWS ABOUT US!!! I was googling the Reads, and got this:

We love Hesitation Canter Waltz, it's SO beautiful. Here's a HCW from 2013 by Kay and Joy Read called "Winter Waltz" (fitting for the weather we're having here in Northern California). It's a Phase 4+2 and is danced for us by Tom Hicks and Doris Ho.

Love this new Rikki Lobato Two Step "It Feels Good, Good, Good". It's a Phase 2+1+1 with the unphased figure being "Left Turning Broken Box". Fits the music perfectly. Something new to add to your Two Step repertoire. Watch Dawn and Cami do it and you'll be fine!

"Señorita" by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello is one of the best dance songs we've heard in a long time. Tom Hicks did a terrific Phase 4+2 Cha to this called "Señorita Cha", but that dance can be a little tricky for some dancers. Earle and Carole Collins out in Florida did this softer Phase 4+0+1 Cha "Call Me Señorita" to this music, and we hope that it will allow newer dancers to enjoy this wonderful music. Many thanks to Dawn Mee and Cami Nevitt for demoing it for us.

It's always nice to add to our collection of Phase 3 Foxtrots - they make a great transition from Waltz to Foxtrot. This is "Sunshine Wine", a Phase 3+2 Foxtrot from 2006 by Susan Healea and danced for us by Bill and Beth Davenport. Watch how smoothly they transition between Sidecar, Banjo, and Semi on the Cross Hovers.
This dance has nice, Foxtrot-y music and perfect choreography for those who know Waltz and want to get started with Foxtrot. Or, for those who already know Foxtrot, just a nice, straightforward Phase 3 (and a chance to see if you can dance it as smoothly as the Davenports!)

Here's another great Blackford dance (we just posted Smoke Gets in your Eyes a few days ago). This is their Phase 4+2 West Coast Swing "Lovey Dovey", expertly demoed for us by Tom Hicks and Dawn Mee. Phase levels can be a bit misleading with WCS, but this one is a pretty straightforward Phase 4. Give it a try!

This dance is just gorgeous. It's "Los RayOs del SOL", a Phase 5+2 Rumba from 2008 by Brent and Judy Moore. Dawn Mee and Cami Nevitt have done a great job demoing it, and that's good because it's one of those dances where watching the video will be really helpful. There's a lot of intricate choreography in there, and it's a lot easier to learn it by watching than by pouring over the cuesheet! Or just watch it because it's so darn beautiful...

Ok, TODAY'S release is Bill and Beth Davenport's new Phase 3+2 Mambo "Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras) Mambo", danced by Bill and Beth. Nice to add an easy Mambo to our collection - and that music is SO Mambo. Give it a try!

Yesterday's (oops!) release involves a shout-out to our very first round dance teachers Marie Hathaway and Gordon Sill. This dance was a favorite of theirs and it might become a favorite of yours, too. It's "Seein' My Father in Me", a Phase 2+2 Two Step by Steve and Jackie Wilhoit. Wonderful music and lyrics and smooth choreography. Give it a try.

This is a dance we've wanted to record for a long time, as it shows up on a lot of event playlists. It's David Goss and Ulla Figwer's hit West Coast Swing "Easy Money" (Phase 5+1). We think Tom Hicks and Dawn Mee have done a great job of capturing the spirit of this dance. Take a look!
