From: Mike Taylor This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it _ (mailto: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ) Hi, I totally agree that there indeed are other avenues (sites) for posting   video clips of dances, though yipee is a dance _script_ site and its pot luck   (maybe) if the video of your dance is on the front page of the site a couple of  hours or a couple of days. The area I focused on within my comments was the  video dance groups - not sites. By video dance groups I am of course referring  to a small group of the same dancers who produce on a number of videos each week  and have their own channel on youtube and then circulate the fact to  instructors. These type of sites score vastly more hits from potential  'customers' of a dance than an unknown who places their dance onto youtube as a  'solo effort'. They also gain in reputation - just like Winnies channel  did. I also mentioned regarding the taking of the video itself and the fact that  there is more to it than just taking the video and placing it on youtube or  wherever. I can give you an example (after consultation with the person   involved). This is an extreme case, but in actual fact parts of it could be   quite common – we just don’t get to hear about it. This guy used to Choreograph dances a few years back, then he was involved   in a car crash - he lost one of his legs from the hip and is wheelchair bound. He now goes to Linedance socials just to watch and listen - and gets a real  buzz from it. He has choreographed about a dozen line dances - all from memory/previous   experience. He also has a video camera - but cannot get any suitable or   enthusiastic dancers to perform the dance so that he may send it in to youtube   etc. And he's the sort of guy will never play the 'im in a wheelchair-so do me a  big favour' game either.. so where does he go.. ? To him, and others in their own situation its not as easy as 'have video   camera-will dance' type of thing. Stay bright - Stay happy Hold on to your dreams Mike   ***************** SUBJECT:  SOMEONE IS  LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO DANCE IN WASHINGTON STATE I live in the Country side in Washougal, Washington State.  The  boondocks, so-to-speak, of Washington State.  My husband suggested I  describe the location I am searching for as: Portland, Oregon area.  Yes,  if you could be-ever-so kind as to publish my request along with my e-mail  address that would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps if he had a new idea for steps he could either have  called it a VARIATION and kept the original dance as it was giving people the  choice of which to dance, or even kept the new steps in mind for when he wrote  another new dance. It is very difficult to UNLEARN a dance once you have  committed it to memory, and there are so many other good dances out there  perhaps people just dont want to be bothered.
