This weeks episode was hosted by the lovely Hillary Kurt Webster as Nikki Sharon was at a line dance event. Hillary always comes across as a really fun, but down to earth character so I do hope I get a chance to meet her at some point.

Episode 47 kicked off with "The Bomp" a favourite of the Live! Laugh! Linedance! team as it has appeared several times on the show and is still very popular on both Linedancer and Copperknob. This recording was made at the Bracklesham Bay weekend and it features Kim Ray dancing in the 2nd Row (dressed in red) It has also been nominated as the Improver dance of the year at the Crystal Boot Awards - (nominations for the CBA's will be discussed separately in a further post).

Alison and Peter then introduced "Knee Deep", an improver dance of theirs from 5 years ago (has it really been that long?), I haven't danced this one in a while but I remember it being a lovely little dance, to a great track by the Zac Brown Band - a good one to sing along to and also one of the first revivals of the "walking around in a circle" steps which is very popular right now and found in a lot of dances.

"Goodbye California" was this week's entry from Rob Fowler, - this is new to me but I really love the music and the dance seems to go really well.

Next up we had a short piece from Nikki who was (very appropriately) dressed up for what appeared to be a halloween outfit for a themed night on her weekend away. In the piece she encouraged dancers to go on line dance weekends away with their clubs (which I very much encourage) - for those who haven't been I can promise you that once you've been on one weekend you will definitely want to go on another.

Ria Vos, is a very popular name in line dancing at the moment. Recently she has written some lovely dances of which I count "No man's land," this is a beautiful dance but unfortunately the video was not that impressive. Well to be frank it was a bit of a mess... dancers going all over the place, very few people knowing what they were doing... but at least they looked like they were having fun :-D I'd also like to give a special mention to the lady in the pink top at the front - whilst all hell was breaking loose around her she kept going (and to me that's what line dancing is all about.)

The next dance was "Wasn't expecting that," by Richard Palmer and Lorna Dennis. I've heard this song on a number of occasions, it's beautiful and emotional and incredibly sad at the end (if you ever watch the artist music video please have a box of tissues to hand). 

The Classic dance this week was Kathy Hunyadi's "The One for Me" which I have never come across before however it's a fun little dance to a lovely track by the Rascal Flatts (one of my favourite country bands) and I hope it pops up again in the future.

In honour of the Halloween theme of last weeks episode the music over the credits in this weeks episode were replaced with "The 'Rogers' Mash" Glenn Rogers own take on the famous 'Monster Mash'. It was a fun one to listen to and I laughed a few times, it makes a nice change from the usual music on the end credits.

That's all I have time for today. Scripts for all dances featured in this weeks episode are featured below. I also have no affiliation to the TV Show whatsoever. Please feel free to add any comments below on your thoughts for this week's episode.
