JIVE MAGIC
This video of Jive Magic danced to Crocodile Rock ( Elton John ) by the choreographer himself is just released. The song is very fast and so is the dance. For those of you who like a slower tempo song, I suggest using We Are Going to Ibiza by The Vengaboys. There are also other choices in the step sheet.

TWINKLES
Jennifer wrote:
I do have a question!
Some stepsheets say RIGHT TWINKLE starts with your RF, but some say start with your LF towards the right....
So which is which? Would appreciate any help out there :-)
Tigger answered:
Right, first things first .. the Twinkle is a Ballroom term and thats where the similarity ends.
The Twinkle is performed only by the Lady whereas withing line Dance there is no division. Also within Ballroom the count is six, whereas in Line dance its only three.
If you take the last three counts of the Ballroom Twinkle you have a 'close' affinity to the Linedance version... but only close.
In answer to you question: In BOTH cases you can lead with either the right or left foot. In most cases within Linedance (all within Ballroom) the lead foot crosses OVER the trailing foot.
Simply put - within Ballroom the body is facing the diagonal when performing the count - straightening with the second - and facing (opposite) diagonal with the third (dependent on following combination). Whereas within Linedance - anything goes.
These corruptions of Ballroom terms spread to the very basic Mambo step and other. The Bosa Nova is NOT a dance anywhere except in Linedancing... and they cant even get the rhythmn or tempo right for that.
I know a heck of a lot of people don’t really mind (or even care) about such things - but a large number of Linedancers bemoan that they are not taken seriously by other genre's or the media... one wonders why
Leo Boomen responded:
I think, in order to avoid the confusion, we should write out step sheets in the following ways:
1) Twinkle to the right on left-right-left
2) Twinkle to the left on right-left-right
Any better suggestion?
Tigger agreed:
I agree Leo...
... now all one has to do is try and 'educate' a few thousand Instructors/Choreographers. I dont separate the two as the vast majority of Instructors are also Choreographers - though I strongly suspect they were Instructors first.
and BM Leong advised:
So you choreographers out there, please take note.

NEW RELEASE_Song In My Heart
SONG IN MY HEART
Choreographed by BM Leong ( Oct.08 )
Phrased / 4 walls, easy intermediate level
Music: Ni Shi Wo Xin Nei De Yi Shou Ge（你是我心内的一首歌）
by Wang Li Hom & Selina Ren
Sequence of dance: AAB/AB(1-28)/ABA
This line dance is choreographed in response to a special request by one of you. I like the song and here is the result of it! As you have listened to the song in the preview video clip, the tempo is slow and naturally the dance is slow too. Those of you who find difficulty in doing the full turn can replaced it with hip sways, hip rolls, hip bumps, etc.

NEW RELEASE-Shine On
SHINE ON
Choreographed by Francien Sittrop ( Oct. 2008 )
64 counts, 4 walls, easy intermediate level
Music: Shine On by R.I.O.
Just released last week by Francien Sittrop, Shine On is a newly choreographed line dance by her for the month of October, 2008. This dance is a 64 counts, 4 walls, easy intermediate line dance choreographed to the song of the same name by RIO. The tempo is fast and you have no time to do certain moves correctly. There should be a restart during the first wall after 62 counts if you want to dance it perfectly to the music. In the step sheet, no restart was inserted and those of you who are used to restarts and tags will feel a 'little funny' after the first wall.
