A wonderful Workshop in Kuching & looking forward to the next on 18 Dec with Rachel McEnaney
All of us had a wonderful time in Kuching learning 5 dances from Simon Ward and thoroughly enjoyed a fun filled dinner cum show in the evening. We were entertained by Simon, Philip Sobrielo , the Karar Line Dancers and others with their spectacular dance performances.
Simon is a very talented dancer, choreographer & teacher with a very warm & cheerful personality.
All of Simon's workshop dances are new ones and are not officially released yet as he is going to use them for his USA and Europe tour. So he has requested that we do not post them up on websites any where. BUT WE CAN VIEW the dances FROM OUR VIDEO CLIPS !
These are the workshop dances-
1. If I knew Then - waltz with a couple of restarts
2. Alabama Slammin' - choreo by Rachel McEnaney
3. Under My Skin- pop
4. Suspicious Minds - cha cha with a waltz tag
5. Show Me The Love - NC2, a super challenging dance with tags & restarts & modifed steps
I shall share all 5 dances in class soon.
