Nothing New
Ultra Beginner level dance
Choreographer: Jan Wyllie
Music: Nothing new, I'm missing you by Isla Grant
AB Ticket
Ultra Beginner level dance
Choreographer: Val Myers (UK)
Music: Dance Above The Rainbow by Ronan Hardiman
Almost every line dance is set to a sequence of moves in groups of 4. (Except the waltzes of course).
This is an easy first dance with no turns.
Here you will learn several dance sequences, such as the stroll, the chasse, step touches and hip bumps.
The music is fairly slow to give you time to get accustomed to the movements and the changes of direction.
The dance can be done to many tracks, try it to Acky Breaky Heart for a Country track, or What A Feeling from Flashdance for a pop version, they are similar in tempo.
Once you are familiar with the steps you can scroll forward to 11 mins for the dance.
This is a second easy dance with no turns.
Here you will learn another couple of dance sequences, such as the heel strut and the grapevine.
The music is fairly slow to give you time to get accustomed to the movements and the changes of direction.
The dance can be done to many tracks, try it to One Way Ticket for a Country track, or Don't Worry by Madcon for a pop version, they are similar in tempo.
Once you are familiar with the steps you can scroll forward to 7:30 mins for the dance.
Electric Slide
Ultra Beginner level dance

In this third easy dance, my main aim is to get you used to turning, this is a 4 wall dance, therefore you will start each sequence facing a different direction.
Here you will learn a 1/4 turn to the left.
The music is fairly slow to give you time to get accustomed to the movements and the changes of direction.
The dance can be done to many tracks, once you have mastered the steps try it to "It's Raining Men" by the Weather Girls, for a faster version.
Once you are familiar with the steps you can scroll forward to 5 mins for the dance.
