WEST COAST SWING
- Patty/Joe
Whip and its
companion dance the West Coast Swing are the two featured
dances at this annual party. If you know next to nothing,
obviously you don't have time to
master the dances, but you will learn enough in this crash
course to thoroughly enjoy the evening!!
EAZY SLEAZY WHIP -
Jack
Prerequisite: a dirty mind, but limited
Whip/WCS experience
This is the class
to take if you do not have
a partner; we will be switching partners in this class.
Whip and West Coast Swing are the two featured dances at
this annual party. If you know a lot of WCS, you can hang
with the really nasty people in Rick's
Workshop, but if you are a beginner or don't have a partner,
you can still get enough training in this
class to misbehave on the dance floor
later on.
THE
DISGUSTING SLEAZY BAR WHIP WORKSHOP -
Rick
Prerequisite: COUPLES ONLY!!
NO SWITCHING
If you
have completed Intermediate Whip/WCS, you can take this
class. Otherwise, you don't know enough. I will
put on the music before class starts to make sure you are
not a beginner. Do not bluff your way in.
This is the hard stuff.
Leather on Leather, Belly to Belly, Bump and Grind.
The SSQQ Sleazy
Bar Party returns us to the spiritual roots of the Dirty Whip,
which originated as a legendary pick-up dance used at the
worst dives and honky-tonks on the blue side of town.
The moves taught
tonight are indeed quite sleazy. Your
biggest challenge is to see if you can manage to keep from
laughing long enough to learn the patterns.

C&W: TEXAS TWOSTEP - Kerry
Prerequisite:
Ability to Walk
The
Texas Twostep is the most important Country and Western dance. It is easy
to learn and fun to use. From George Strait's "Fool Hearted
Memory" to Shania Twain's "Holding onto Love", the Twostep
is used to a wide variety of C&W music.
When
you live in Houston, Texas, you should get plenty of
opportunities where a little knowledge of the Twostep will come in pretty
handy. And don't forget the Twostep is a fixture at Rodeo time. Come
learn the fundamentals of this famous dance !
Sorry,
nothing Sleazy in this course. Too bad.
INT
TWOSTEP: CIRCLE TURNS - Linda
Prerequisite:
The Ability to Twostep and
Polka ahead of time.
This
is an intermediate course for students who have already had our Beginner
Twostep/Polka course. This course covers the tricks behind multiple
clockwise and counter clockwise Circle Turns. It is great way to get girls
dizzy and lower their resistance. It is also less expensive and more
subtle than using booze. Hey, the Western crowd can be sleazy
too, right?
BEGINNING
WESTERN WALTZ - Marla
Western Waltz is considered the "Romantic" Western dance. The
stakes being what they are, no sensible man should ignore this important
dance!
Western
Waltz patterns are taken from Ballroom Waltz. Western Waltz moves are
simply Ballroom Waltz patterns that "travel" around the floor.
Later on expect plenty of Western Waltzes like “You Look So Good in
Love” and “Open Arms” to practice to at the dance party
