Dear Girls,

As you know I have been thinking about changing the day for the Sea Gypsies to a Monday evening, that would free up our weekends etc.  Unfortunately I would only do this if the decision was unaminous.  I have decided to keep our practise to the Sunday, but instead of 1.5 hours, make it to just one hour, start promptly at 11.30am and finish at 12.30pm.   I hope this is all ok with you all.

 

Love Alison

VIVA LA DANSE SHOW! UPDATE

 Hi girls, I know its a long way off, but I can give you as much information about our performances well in advance so that you are prepared.

The finale dance is 8 mins long, but don't worry, it will be a showcase of different goups within the troupe, which will break it up and when you start dancing to it, it actually goes quite quickly.  

The groups are as follows:-

GROUP 1 - Joanne, Chantel & Miranda - prefered costume metallic golds/anything

that catches the light, lets say extreme bling!

GROUP 2 - Karen, Alison & Nikki (hairdresser) - Metallic Silver

 

GROUP 3 -  Nicky, Hayley & Kim - Metallic Turquoise

GROUP 4 - Teresa, Lesley, Jenny & Shirley - Metallic Pink

GROUP 5 - Trish, Denise, Tina & Joyce - Metallic Black

Please would you let me know as soon as possible if you feel you cannot commit to the show.  The training for the show will only be done at Sunday classes, and I know we all have busy lives and things going on, but if you feel you will miss more than 25% of the classes then Im afraid its not fair on other troupe members and you would not be able to take part in the show.  It will be a fantastic night for all of us, and of course something to treasure forever, it will be worth all the heavy sighs and sweat, and of course be extremely fit after 8 minutes.

 

Love Alison.xxx

Section 5

Indian stride with head slides as you step to the left, box the arms to make a frame, repeat the same movement to the right, but you have to switch over the arms.

 

Now step and make a half turn and your back to the audience, accent the hands so that they slap each bum cheek! And do 2 biggish hip circles, now make another half turn to come back to face the audience, place your hands on either side of your head and do another 2 hip circles, make it raunchy!!

 

Slow motion step, with your weight on your right leg, lift you left leg and circle the foot in mid air, rotate 2 times (1234), repeat this move to the other side (5678)

Now with the right foot first criss cross over the left foot and alternate the step, ( right over left, left over right, right over left, left over right) (count 1 and 2 and 3 and 4), now we are going to do another bolder step so that we do a complete circle around ourselves, dropping down on the ball of the foot and winging the arms out in a sideways direction ( I know this sounds complicated, but not when you see it) count again 1 and 2 and 3 and 4.

 

We shall now be having our left side of body to audience - with hands in prayer position above our heads slowly bring them down to the chest and hip drop the left hip (1 and 2 and 3 and 4), now push out bum to the left 4 times, now Cairo shimmy with left foot stepping in front of you first and then behind you, let the arms come in and out with the step, ( do this 2 times) and then hip circle back into position to face audience.

Imagine you are going to Dive forward so extend the arms, then place arms back into second position and barrel turn to the left.

 

Snake arm left, then right and then turn to the right with arms above head.

 

Now is the break away from your position to form a circle around the dancer in the middle.  ( we shall explore different options for this until we are happy).

 

Make a frame around middle dancer and pose!!

 

Well Done!!!

   

 Believe it or not this is the english

translation

of the Kiss Kiss song! Really!x Sounds better in Turkish!!!

she goes arms linked with a man
and drives me crazy by doing so
she has chewing gum in her mouth
insolently chewing it, making bubbles burst
Maybe that is why I am so fond of you
because I did not become your owner
Can a man stand that, you spoilt girl?
Did the world change like this?
Eyes painted black
coquettish with glaring red lips
she stands up to me defying me
and grins at me insolently
Did we learn it this way from our fathers?
We have been looking like fools to everyone
New customs have entered the old village
Friends, we are in a fix.
You are a nutcracker
pulling a snake from its hole
my big disgrace
when I get hold of you ... (kiss, kiss)
I'm seeking protection with you, babe
I'm lying in your lap, babe
I'm burning in your fire, babe
Have mercy
