Live Laugh Line dance! Episode 5 (2016) review

By 21:09:00 , , , , , ,


So we are now 5 episodes in with the new format in place and there are many changes in place one of which is our presenters now sitting behind a high 'bar' in the style of the 'Loose Women' presenters. Our presenters this week were Nicki, Nicky, Hillary and the newest edition to the show Rob Fowler, who of course needs no introduction with 3 Crystal Boot Awards under his belt at the recent CBA's.

We opened with 'Save the Day' - by Karl-Harry Winson - currently joint second in the Linedancer Magazine Top 50, a full review of which you can read on my blog by clicking here. One of the new features of the show is that the videos played are a collaboration of several videos from different clubs/events all edited into one and I think that is a lovely touch.

The second dance was our beginner dance 'County Line Cha Cha' - wow! I haven't done this one in so long and it used to be a staple in my beginner class all those years ago when I first started, it really brought back memories. The only sad thing about this dance is the choreographer is unknown - how could we have possibly lost this information. It's such a shame.

Rob Fowler then discussed 'Legends in Line', mum and I are still considering the Blackpool weekend as one of our options so we'll have to see but it sounds like it would be great fun.

We then saw the very talented and cute Blaire Morgan do 'The Wobble' at the CBA's and giving all the dancers there a run for their money - a real star in the making, she has the potential to be a great star in the future.

"Second hand heart" by Maggie Gallagher featured next - a dance which is currently number one in the charts recently and I'm was very fortunate to be one of the first to learn this having been at the workshop where Maggie first taught (and was still perfecting) the dance. You can read more about this by clicking here.

The next feature is a quiz to guess the dance and Rob Fowler gave clues to the dance name which was "Pot of Gold" a classic dance which is still done everywhere I have danced and will be around for a long time yet.

This week's show finished with the presenters choice - (Nicki's choice) - "Uptown Funk" the 2015 dance of the year and winner of the intermediate dance award at the Crystal Boot Awards choreographed by Rob Fowler. This is still a very popular dance and is still a floor filler everywhere I go, I don't think this will be disappearing in a hurry.
