  • Senorita Sway(-i) - two wall dance that has a nice samba feel, - mavericks song has great tempo, encourages good timing
  • Amazed (i)- to a beautiful song by lonestar and with a slow tempo, interesting dance that i have been asked to revise for ages (perso revision)
  • Baby's Got My Number(-i) - Nice song, and pretty easy steps until the last 8 counts, which can feel a little awkward, if you put much emphasis on the turns (DON"T!!)Will be floor filler
  • Barroom Romeo (b)- classic beginner that will split to all music, gets the hips unlocked as well, been around for ages
  • Birmingham(i+)rev - has become a classic and is nearly always done at every dance party - a need to know dance, fitting the music beautifully and a challenge!!!
  • Black & White Cha Cha (i)(rev) -A classic!!! An unphrased dance proving that "do we really need all of those tags!!!At least for a while we will know the last 12 counts....hopefully
  • Birth of the Blues(-i) -With a blues song to match, you either love it OR... the changes in tempo of the music may distract you.The sequence is a little different and my class seem to like it
  • Blue Note(-i) nice easy cha cha with a quirky song by toby keith, no tags or restarts and teaches upper beginners a few nice basic steps
  • Bridges to your Heart(i) - a great song has made this dance very popular in qld
  • Burn It (-i) - Won the improver category at the National Choregraphy competition in 2007. My classes love it. 4 walls with 1 small tag and just makes you want to "dare to dance" See you at Perso, Chris Watson!!!
  • Champagne on Ice(i+) MVL comes out with a cracker every now and then, and this is one of them, with a long sequence but not very difficult steps this will be a winner for sure, again the music has made the dance
  • Cinco De Mayo(rev) (-i) - Beautiful little cha cha, with some unusual steps that fit slow and fast music, we also love it to Britney. I always split the floor with this on
  • Completely - (rev)  (i+)- What can i say about this classic dance? Choreographed by Thomas Worth and his mentor Terry Hogan, their 2 different styles seem to combine into a stylish dance still enjoyed by all after many years. Thought i had better revise it in all of my classes
  • Country Comes To Town (i) - Good old fashioned linedance with slaps and a fast pace to keep our mind active, also with a great lively song by lee kernaghan. Tags are meant to be easy aren't they??
  • Dancing in White (B)- A lovely little cha cha which my beginners are loving to learn. Great old classic by Marty Robbins makes us all sing along
  • Do Ya (i) - An old classic that we all loved. Choreographed by Justine Shuttleworth, with a slow tempo and controlled timing. Alsop,  with no tags and restarts. Also feels good to Britney Spears' "Baby, One More Time"
  • Good Directions (i+) - First one from Thomas Worth for a while, but he hasn't lost his mojo!!! Great country song and has the "Thomas"touch. A little busy for some near the end of the sequence, but manageable
  • Hard for the Money (i)- A very popular dance in all areas, 4 walls, with 2 restarts only. A bit of an ankle strainer (or maybe i am just getting old!!!)Well done Adrian!!!
  • Heart of an Angel(i)- a well paced waltz that has no real difficult steps. With 2 easy tags, my early intermediates picked it up no problem- will become popular
  • If I could Fly Away(i) -nice catchy little tune and without any restarts or tags, can be a little busy at the end of the sequence
  • I'll Walk(i+) - hmmm - can i say challenging!!! well done peter again!!! with controlled timing it is not for the fainthearted and unusual turning patterns has even the best of them stumped initially. 3 restarts
  • In A Second (perso rev (i+))Of course i got the hardie of the day with this little??? gem from tom worth. Only one wall and 38 counts you say??? but with 1000 steps- it was great to see the original people who danced this many years ago, dancing it this weekend - kristen, rhiannon, peter etc
  • It hurts (b+) - a good way to learn pivot turns for beginners!!! popular little easy 2 wall dance with a good feeling song and one restart
  • I Walk the Line (-i) - everyone can always manage a 2-step and this has become a great classic, will split to other fast music as well, hhmmm might try and choreograph a new  2-step one day(perso revision)
  • Junkyard Dog (-i)- A Great old classic song, with a nice easy feel, will go to lots of different speeds therefore will split to many other harder dances. My beginners/E- interm like this one.
  • Just a Two Step Away (i) -what a lovely song that just makes you want to trip the light fantastic!! two-steps are great fun and with a couple of fast turns and directions it is enough of a challenge to keep us all thinking
  • Keep 'n Busy (i+) - Seeing i am staying at Pete and Sandy's for their daughter rhiannon's wedding, I shall be careful what i say here!!! Great paced dance that certainly keeps you busy
  • Let's Go Girls (i)(rev)- another classic to a popular Shania Twain song, not phrased but we are thankful for a dance without a restart or tag
  • Let your Love Flow (perso rev (-i)) - great old classic by tim gauci, an interesting  choreographer, fits most songs and speedsm,  nice little cha cha
  • Listen to the Radio (i) - Was very popular in Tamworth, and with a few angles and an interesting sequence, changes from a 2 wall into a 4 wall dance. Great Lee Kernaghan song to boot.
  • Livin' our Love Song (i+) -A lovely flowing dance to an inspiring song. Mark taught this at the winter wipeout and it was very popular. Only one small tag.
  • Lovesongs on the jukebox (perso rev (b)) -nice little quickstep for all levels that teaches lock and holds and pivots. Only one restart! thanks kerry hughes for the teach
  • Make Love to Me(i) - A nice "dancer friendly" sequence, which all of my levels of classes are attempting to learn. 2 easy restarts and 2 walls, make for a dance that we can all enjoy
  • Mr Pinstripe (i)-I had not taught this initially but after seeing the kids do it at Tamworth and the rest of the world still enjoying it, I thought i had better get to it. This one grows on you and you can really enjoy it. Gets the heart rate up as well
  • Not Forgotten (i) - Nicely styled dance by Rosalie Mackay who always comes up with the goods, lovely song, a bit sad, and very nicely styled to take up the beat
  • Not Lost (i+) -This dance fits the music well and has a nice flow. The number of restarts brings it up into the upper intermediate level. Michael Buble is a great chrooner!!!
  • One Heart (-i)- we were lucky to have Chris Watson at  Perso to revise this great dance that won the dance of the year in 2002(perso revision)
  • Open Season(rev)(i) - what an unusual dance this was when stephen patterson first introduced it, has become a classic and although tricky was well received in revision (see "wide open" as easy alternative
  • Part Time Lover(-i) - groovy little song and dance( i think i am showing my age with"groovy"with out tags and restarts but interesting enough for all levels
  • Rock this Party (i+)  - the song may put people off initially, but this is a great feeling dance that is energetic and well crafted. You are in the groove Simon!!!
  • Someone To Love(i+)- A very flowing dance that suits the music perfectly. Another well crafted dance by Tim Gauci (ONCE AGAIN). One easy restart
  • Rock Around the Clock (-i)- A floor filler and a great 2-step, everyone should know this dance (perso revision)
  • Stone Cold Sober (i) - has taken me a while to get to this one, (sorry John!!), nice rise and fall as a waltz should have, again without tags and restarts and a great country "heartache" song
  • Strait Dancing(-i)(rev) - a popular little cha cha that has become a classic, teaching timing, unusual step patterns and with a ripper of a song by george strait - well done jan wylie
  • TFM (i+)-there were some hurrahs and then groans when i said i would be revising tom's dance, Chris Watson just loves our QLD choreography, but it was certainly worth!!!! the effort (perso revision)
  • That's It (i)-Great rhythmic and melodic song to a brilliant new singer called Kirstie Carr, what a warbler and would be able to yodel with the best of them. Nice intermediate dance with no tags, my class likes it!! Go Peter Fry!!!
  • 13MWZ (perso rev (-i)) -another classic that fits most songs and speeds. Charlie... you got away with murder this perso, too easier a teach for you!!!
  • The Woman in my Life (i+)- With 3 tags and 2 restarts this beautiful waltz is not for the faint hearted. 2 walls only, although takes a few weeks to gel, is certainly worth the effort.Thrill Me (rev+i)
  • Thrill Me (rev+i) A beautiful flowing dance from roxanne kumre and her mentor terry Hogan, even though only 32 counts it is fairly tricky but is very emotionally tied to the music
  • Walk on Air (perso rev (-)) - beautifully crafted dance that was a hit for MVL. 2 restarts but flows beautifully to the music. Well taught Peter Fry
  • Wanna Be Me (+i)(rev)-has become a classic and needed to be revised, a pumping song by Keith Urban. 2 walls, with some tags and restarts. Fast but flows.
  • What about Now(rev)(i+) - not a really well known dance by peter fry, but i think one of his best!! great song but with a couple of tags and restarts, it may put some off, it is well worth the effort though!!! do a revision on it, you won't be disappointed!!!
  • Wide Open(i) - the easy alternative to "open season" will be used a lot in split floors for dances with a 1, 2 & count, another jan wylie dance that is unusual and pretty
  • You are my Destiny(i) - a flowing dance that is tricky to start with, timing is important, only one restart, turn intensive
