Love this dance and music

dancer33 July 15, 2018

On the fence with this and I usually love Ria's dances .....it's doing well in the charts and views however my honest opinion is its high intermediate . I do like the dance and the music I'm just not sure the mainstream market are going to want the angle turns and the tricky & counts. I will teach it tomorrow and put it out there to the intermediate class and get their reaction and update.

I love this track, not got the dance cracked yet, but getting there!(too busy listening to the music)
Played it at class and they all like the like it too, so will be hopefully, teaching it tomorrow!

I’m with dancer33 on this one. Although it’s a beautiful track, the dance is too complex for easy recall on the dance floor, so for that reason I don’t think it will stay around too long unfortunately. Shame though, as some of tthose angled turns and unnecessary direction changes could have been choreographed to standard walls and made it a bit more readily memorable for mainstream dancers Definitely higher intermediate in my opinion.

I taught this dance to my class yesterday and I must say I'm not the most confidant teacher, so I think if I can teach it the dance then it can't be that hard. My class like it, some got it at first teach and I'm sure the rest will crack it next week! yes, you do have to think about it, But the fact that it is at the top of the line dance charts says it all!
I think it is a great dance to a great track and everyone I have spoken too, that as done the dance, love it too, so I think it's well worth having ago!
