December 2012This 200th edition celebration is such awonderful excuse for me to return to the insidecover of my beloved Linedancer Magazineand to my Dear Dancers column. This is suchan important milestone for the magazine andI can’t help feeling a sense of pride.When I look back over all those editions Isee a long and happy memory lane full offun, friendships and laughter. Oh, the tales Icould tell you! Seriously though, it’s been agreat pleasure to have shared your stories,photographs, news and views with otherdancers around the world and to have playeda part in bringing the dance community closertogether for the past 17 years.Producing Linedancer is an important part ofmy life and the team here are as passionateabout it as I am. They do an amazing job andI am very proud of them. I remember whenwe started we had no idea where it wouldlead or the amazing journey we were on.Each month we embark on a new journey tohighlight the many lovely people who sharethis hobby. Our job is to introduce new andexciting talent and present you with yourmonthly fix and along the way we addedsome bells and whistles.But we always found space to cover youramazing charity events where dancers raisedmagnificent sums of money all over the worldmonth after month, year after year.We have also been leaders in our time! Forexample, when we introduced our own rangeof dance footwear designed with Line dancersin mind we brought comfort and freedom aswell as safety and style.Perhaps one of our greatest achievementswas introducing the Crystal Boot Awards(thanks to suggestions from Max Perry andJohnny Twostep) an event which has grownto be a major date in the dance calendaracross the world.A personal highlight has been the chance tointroduce young dancers with promise andfollow their careers as they have becomegifted and talented performers, instructorsand choreographers. One of the things thatstill makes my heart sing is to see the young,the once young and the not so young dancingside by side.But nothing stays the same and we had tomove with the times. As technology changedso did we. We built our website and setabout creating a digital world of dancewith everything a dancer could ever needavailable instantly. We host a sophisticateddance database where many thousands ofscripts are available at your finger tips andwe pioneered a voting system to rank dancesby popularity. We even included an optionto leave your dance reviews helping othersdecide what to teach or dance.So 200 issues later, we’re still here and stillloving what we do. But looking ahead to thenext 200 I wonder what the future holds andask myself.... will I still be dancing at 80?Hell yes!Yours in linescan mewww.linedancermagazine.comwww.linedancermagazine.com

Funds were raised for the LDFand Harrogate Mind. “With it being verylocal to me, I thought that I would callin to the Harrogate Mind office to givethe cheque in personally. When I gotthere, Chris Raddings and some of theHarrogate Mind clients that had come tothe event were there and were chuffed tobits with the amount of money we raised,and they gave a round of applause. Ieven proposed coming through to theiroffice and teaching them some basic Linedancing which they were all excited about. Ithink Chris was quite overwhelmed with theamount of money we raised.”Cynthia who teaches C.C. Linedancers inCornwall, held one of her charity nights toraise funds to be divided between CancerUK and the RSPCA. What a night! Dancersfrom nine local Line dance classes, joinedtogether for a night of dances from BlackCoffee and Moonlight Cha, to GamblingMan and 50 Way’s, all DJ’d by Tony. Atmidnight the last dancers left the floor. Awonderful fun way to raise much neededfunds for these charities.Busy, Busy, BusyCarol Sterratt and her Jay Cee Liners ofCamborne in Cornwall love to dress up andthey have had a busy year so far! “This yearwe have held a Jubilee event, an Olympicevent and more recently we had a superevening with top entertainer Alan Gregory.Jay Cee Juniors gave a brilliant displayduring the interval and had a standingovation. In the picture are, top row: Regan,Peter and Alan, bottom row: Jessica andAbilgail. We have lots more planned for therest of the year so watch this space.”

Here is Wayne and Ann Dawkins andWestern Wranglers Line dancers fromSouthampton on their recent weekendaway with Isle of Wight Tours at Southsea.HalloweenHere is a selection of the witches andghouls at Tina Argyle’s Halloween partyheld at Wreningham in Norfolk. It was acomplete sell out that was achieved by thehard working Tina and who acquired theservices of Natalie to provide the live music.All Tina’s regulars supported the event andwere pleased to welcome lots of Natalie’sfollowers many of whom travelled manymiles to attend.David Purdy told us about scary goings on at RenesRevellers Halloween Line dance. “We played passthe parcel to Pick A Bale, most people managedto drop the parcel at some stage but luckily it wasnon-breakable. We converted the music for theMonster Mash to the Electric Slide and gave aprize for the scariest interpretation, won by Maryand Malcolm. Count Dracula and Morticia (Rayand Joyce ) won the fancy dress competition.There were several runners-up, including barstewardessGail, who scared the living daylightsout of us. The room was decorated withspiders and mini monsters, we had a sharedsupper of suitable Halloween fare. We playedeveryones’ requests and the evening endedwith all dancers happily flying home on theirbroomsticks.”“Thanks to Chris Price of Southern Stomp Line Dance Club for baking atray of goodies for our Halloween Tea Dance recently, Joy Ashton told us.“She was helped by Barbara and Di, and Barbara didn’t let a little thing likea broken arm stop her getting into the spirit of the occasion! Sixty Clubmembers turned out for a morning of dancing and afternoon tea, brewedby several witches of course! Barbara has been so brave not letting herinjury stop her joining in our activities this month, she came on holidayearlier in October and is joining in our Murder Mystery later in November. Itwould be so easy for her to stay at home alone, but we are pleased to seeher and help keep her spirits up. This is what our club is about, not justabout the £5 at the door or the dances but looking after our dancers, whohave become friends over the years. I am sure there are many other suchclubs all over the country that have the same philosophy.”

Steps ‘n’ StetsonsStephanie Stoter and Julie Myers toldus that they held a Sunday afternoontea dance for their Line dance club inLower Earley recently to raise funds fortheir charity, Pancreatic Cancer ResearchFund. “It was a great day for everyone andwhile everyone pitched in, Steph and Juliewant to say a very big thank you to theirbakers, (from left) Diana Wicks, BrendaNicolaou, Jackie Townsend and CaroleMillward.

A great effort byeveryone involved!”Keep On Dancing“We recently celebrated the 90thbirthday of Line dancer DorothyHarris,” Rosa Butler says. “Sheinvited us all to her Line danceparty here in Liverpool, whereMagill played and entertainedus. Dorothy danced the nightaway, including one of her oldfavourites Lamtarra Rumba.The evening included a specialperformance of Have You EverSeen The Rain by Pat, Margaretand Sheila. They dressed upwith raincoats, wellies andumbrellas and sang their heartsout. Dorothy often dancesseveral times a week, in differentclasses, with her daughterSusan. Thank you Dorothy fora wonderful evening. Keep ondancing.”

To celebrate the year of the Jubilee andthe Olympics the ‘Jubilympic’ Line dancetheme was red white and blue. And wow!Did the dancers go all out with their outfits.195 dancers turned up to the Prince ofWales Hotel in Southport for the twice yearlyevent run by the Allied Dancing Association.Together with the raffle £507 was raisedand is being donated to WoodlandsHospice in Fazakerley, Liverpool. Hospicerepresentative Carol Rigby kindly camealong to explain where the money willbe used and to thank everyone for theirsupport. The president of the Allied, ChrisBooth, presented prizes for best outfitand best decorated table. Lynda fromLynda’s Stompers says: “ I am pleased tosay, with the numbers that turned up, thisbeautiful venue is unfortunately too small forour next event in March. So please watchthis space as we will be looking for a moresuitable and larger dance floor.We have listened to all the comments andwill strive to accomodate and “do better nexttime”. Thank you to everyone who attendedand to all the helpersWe still had a great day.”“I thought I would send you a photo of ourLine dance teacher Nick and his lovely wifeAlison celebrating the 15th anniversary ofour club Oakland Mavericks. It was held atthe Thingwall Recreation Centre where wehave our classes,” Sandy Keys writes. “Wehad such a good time. We had a Jacob’stable, a free raffle and a charity collection.Nick and Alison provided the disco and adelicious cake. Potty gave a small speechand presented a card and gift from thedancers. Best of all was lots of happy peopleLine dancing. What more could you ask for.Please thank Nick and Alison for all theirwork. Keeping us happy and up to date withall the Line dances, arranging socials andweekends away. We do appreciate them.Even though some of his dancers havebeen known to throw comments while heis teaching. All done in the best possibletaste of course.” Here’s hoping OaklandMavericks will continue being successful fora very long time to come.

etweenthelinesYour chance to comment or let offsteam ... drop us a line today.I would like to say a very big thank you to my family and Linedance friends for a wonderful party they organised for my80th birthday, I will never forget it. As my birthday approachedI made it known that I didn’t want any fuss. I woke up on mybirthday and after a lovely day I got myself ready to go out. Myfriend was picking me up at 7pm to take me to Line dance. Thedoorbell rang and I opened the door. There was a white limo anda chauffeur who said, “I am driving you to your venue and thistrip is from your seven grandchildren.” So off I went in a daze.I arrived at the hall and was greeted by my family, my two Linedance teachers (Linda Morrison and Val Whittington) plus lots ofmy dancing friends. I was showered with presents, flowers andcards. There was a buffet, with cakes, sandwiches and manyother goodies. By then I was on a high and found it hard to takeeverything in. Everyone sang Happy Birthday and I felt proud ofthem. Then they all asked for a speech but I was so emotionalwith joy that I can’t remember what I said. I had a lovely eveningand I’m sure everyone else did. So once again, I would like to saya big thank you to all, for the most wonderful 80th Line dancingbirthday evening. It was fantastic, bless you all.Terrie JonesPort Talbot, West GlamorganOne of my dancers, who has learning difficulties, was at a Linedance event recently at the Prince of Wales Hotel in Southport. Shewas dancing and accidentally bumped into the lady behind herand apologised. The ‘lady?’ in question took hold of my dancer bythe arm and walked her off the floor saying, “if you don’t know thesteps you should not be on the floor!” My dancer knew the danceas well as anyone but her difficulties show in her lack of timing andmusicality. The floor was a little crowded and dance floor etiquette (thecustomary code of polite behaviour in society or among members ofa particular profession or group) was fully explained with everyonebeing made aware of the space around them. This was purely aninnocent accident and could have happened to anyone. NO dancershould be treated like this, I am so hurt and disgusted at this womansbehaviour. If she should happen to read this, she will know who sheis and she is not welcome at my events again.Lynda’s StompersAs always we are enjoying all sections of your Linedancermagazine, keeping us right up to date with our love and passionof Line dancing. Laurent wrote in The Last Line of your Septemberissue and we have to say Laurent you were bang on. We havepacked classes who have danced for years, from the time they arrive7 till 11 they dance, have fun and laughter throughout the wholeevening. Every class night is a social for all our 80 dancers. We say, AChance To Dance in Line for fitness and fun, keep up the good work,thank you.Wyn and Merv, A Chance To Dance, CornwallMay I, through your great magazine, thank Julie Burr from StarLiners for 14 wonderful years of her teaching Line dancing. Julie overthe years has had a lot of patience and kindness in teaching us a lotof the old dances and of course the new, she has run classes in bothCorse, Staunton Village Hall and Bredon Village Hall. She has alsoorganised many, many great Line dance weekends, finding as manydifferent venues from Lytham St. Annes to sunny Torquay, arranginga great fun time for everyone, thinking of themes for our fancy dress.She has organised wonderful social nights and Christmas parties,doing the tasty catering with her mother Elenor. It was a great shockto us all when she announced that she is stopping her classes, dueto work and family commitments but she hopes to continue dancingin a social capacity. A great big thank you to Julie from past andpresent students, we will miss your laughter and the fun your classeshave been.Angela Underwood, Corse Lawn, Gloucestershire

200 magazinesof memoriesWell, here we are, 200 editions old and notlooking too shabby either, even if we sayso ourselves.For this edition, we wanted to give you something really different, something youcould look at to make you smile, think and feel part of the biggest family on earth,our Line dance family. As it is December, we wanted the magazine to have the “feel”of an early gift. Let us hope we have managed to do that!For the main part of this special 200th edition, we researched our 199 othermagazines and picked bits and pieces relevant to each one of its 17 years. Some ofwhat you are about to read seems funny because it is undoubtedly of its time, but alot of what we found illustrates that very little is new under the sun. Country vs Pop,etiquette problems, too many dances, all those topics have existed almost from thebeginning…The dance scripts this month are also a nod and a wink towards Line dance’srich heritage. 14 scripts, all classics, but “reinvented” if you like, to brand new tunes.This list was compiled thanks to Big Dave Baycroft who we cannot thank enough forhis support. Apart from “Chill Factor” which is this time set to a remix of the originalsong re-relased in 2010 (great fun too), all the tracks featured here are from 2012.The thinking behind this decision was simply that we often hear “Too many dancesout there and forgetting the good old ones…”. Well, not this month. Re-discover orsimply discover those classics with a fresh soundtrack, perhaps generating a brandnew hit for one or more of those aptly named “classics of the dance fl oor”.You will also fi nd other surprises here and there throughout the whole of this200th edition, taking you back down Memory Lane but also (we think!) proving thatLinedancer has moved with the times and is still as relevant today as it ever was…And if you weren’t around at the beginning, those pages willhopefully entertain you…Enjoy your read this month and as it is the start of theFestive month, the team joins me to wish you the merriest ofChristmases and a happy start for 2013…All the bestLaurentwww.linedancermagazine.com

MayAugust1997MarchJuneFirstAwards“As we approached close of playlast year, Linedancer Magazine askedreaders three of the hardest questions ofall. What was your favourite Line dance?Who was the choreographer you mostadmired? And which British country bandmade the best live accompaniment to aLine dance night out?….ROB FOWLER– CHOREOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR…Of all the talented choreographersyou nominated, Rob stood out, we feel,because of his success in matching thestandards and winning the recognitionof America’s foremost dancers, MaxPerry for on has added Cryin’ to his heftycatalogue….BLACK COFFEE– LINE DANCE OF THE YEAR….But it says something of the qualityof her (Helen O’Malley) choreographythat readers were prepared to vote it totop spot anyway.Publisher of Linedancer, BettyDrummond, says that the dance isjust that little bit special because “ithas a lot of cleverly written sequencesand interesting touches. For a mildtempo dance to be so infectious is veryunusual….”THE DEAN BROTHERS– BRITISH COUNTRY ARTISTS OFTHE YEAR…The Dean Brothers have done theirutmost to promote Line dance, whiletaking British country music from the barroom to the big time.The Deans were one of the fi rst UK actsto make a meaningful impression onCMT, paving the way for other talentedbands like The Cheap Seats.They’re pretty much everywhere inMarch so you’d better give them a call…..(Page 15 – March 1997)Numbersgoing up…. A stampede of thousands ofLine dancers made their way to RAFBurtonwood, Warrington in April….Whether or not this will be deemeda World record, Line dance 97 was arip roaring success. Linedancer canannounce that over 4.500 dancers tookpart in The Freeze which was filmed by theBBC Record Breakers for transmissionin September. We will let you know theofficial figures as soon as we have it….”(Page 32 – May 97)Pop/Countrydebatestarts …“As a dancer I’m aware that a largepercentage of dancers are not reallycountry music fans (though they believethemselves to be)…In my opinion, thelive country music scene in this fair landwill never amount more than a hill ofbeans ….until audiences are preparedto “live and let live”… (Carol Bradshaw)In response to a recommendationwe recently purchased two CD’s, onecalled Men In Black and another byPuff Daddy. I was horrifi ed when I heardthese tracks, they can only be describedas a noise….There is so much goodcountry music around that we do notneed this kind of funky music. (SheilaRushforth)…I worry because if lots of Linedances are done to lots of pop recordsit becomes a pop dance craze, andas everyone knows all pop dancecrazes die. The odd novelty track isfi ne….Now it’s things like Electric Reeland what will be next, highland fl ingsto “Donald where’s your troosers”perhaps?

At one time you wouldhave been embarrassed as a fan to sayyou really loved country music.So you had to be a closet countrylover. But now so many young, hippeople are doing it, which is a sign ofthe “New” West.

The moment thecrowd started a chant of “olé, olé, olé…”which left the big man genuinely awestruckas the admiration of the gatheredpeople was expressed in wonderfulsporting simplicity…..the moment wheneveryone, but everyone, in the roomsang along to Two Pina Coladas to theobvious amazement of Mr. Brooks….”Of all the people who are cluelessabout why this is happening to me,I’m the most clueless. But I’m still sothankful that it is and I still feel like theluckiest man alive. I have the coolest lifein the world. It’s like eating ice cream fora living!”….(January 1999 – Page 20)Nothing newAs far back as 1999, there was controversy from some quarters. Here’s a letter toprove that indeed nothing IS new!“…there seems to be a glut of miserable people who think that Line dancers shouldonly put on dances that please them. I attend three different classes, all of them goodin their own way, all mixed ability classes, and I have never heard anyone complainingbecause they are providing only easy dances, or only difficult. I don’t have time to worryabout whether it’s country music or Line dance music, it’s music and it is meant to bedanced to, and to be enjoyed….” (RD, A Scots Geordie) (November 1999 – Page 95)Cover 41 - OctoberThis is the very fi rst cover wherethe Red and White design of theLinedancer boot appears (rather thana photo of the boot).It would continue to be our brand tilltoday!The cover picture was of pop groupScooch and this was the secondnon Country singing star coverthat year (Scooch was sandwichedbetween September’s Will Smith, andNovember’s Enrique Iglesias).Line dancing was changing!KimberClaytonKimber spoke to Linedancer in Junethat year.“….Kimber particularly enjoyed her twogigs in April on the Isle Of Man. “We reallyhad a great time there” recalled Kimber“They weren’t real big shows, but thosepeople had such a good time. You know,just real rowdy!”…Country clubbers unfamiliar withKimber’s back catalogue were won overby her remakes of “Addicted To Love” and“Jose Cuervo”, Linedancer’s Track Of TheYear 1997.Dancing is never far from Kimber’s mindwhen she chooses her songs. “It’s beena very important part of my material in thelast couple of years. I’ve played so manyclubs where people were dancing, even inthe States. So I couldn’t let people down; Icouldn’t record an album of ballads. I’m notthat sort of person. I have a lot of energy andI like songs with a lot of energy. It just sohappens that dancers do too!”…Kimber concluded with a special messagefor the readers of Linedancer.“It’s important that you’re out theredancing every night or every week becausethat is what’s keeping Country music alive inthe UK. Without you, all the artists in the UKwould not be here, and we really appreciatethat. Stay out there and keep dancing!”Kimber Clayton (1964-2006)(June 1999 –Page 47)www.linedancermagazine.com

The winner, Stewart Gimsonof Nottingham Outlaws (ably assistedby Jim Grice and Alison Wilson), wassurprised and shocked to be placed firstby judges Rob Fowler, Chris Hodgson andAdrian Churm. However, I (Tim Matthews,then editor) thought this a very accessibledance and choice of music – You’re MyNumber One by S Club 7- was excellent.Julie Clarkson’s dance to Let’s Twist Againcame second and Josie Pickles homageto Status Quo rocked her into third place…Stewart said: “I never expected to win – infact, I didn’t think we’d make it into the TopTen. I’d thought we’d done well to make itinto the Finals!”…Stewart noted that Linedancing has changed a great deal sincehe first became interested in it. Initially themusic he danced to was country with theoccasional pop music track. Nowadaysas indicated by his choice of S Club 7….things have changed.

(MY ANGEL)FebruaryIrresistible Jo … Line dancing’s vivacious fi rst ladyhas captivated and inspired dancersfor the past 22 years …. She (Jo)wanted to express her unequivocalthanks to all those who voted for her inthis year’s Crystal Boot Awards. “I wasso delighted with two!” she beamed.“I was talking with Peter Metelnickthe other day and we were teasingeach other. He said when he was atthe ceremony he heard them start toannounce Choreographer of the Year,“the lovely…”, and Peter said, “well, Iknew it wasn’t me!”…At Elle Jay’s Jo tap danced, westcoasted, jitterbugged, disco dancedand jived her way through a sparklingdemo. “I’m just another person wholoves dance just as much as youall do,” she told me (Linda Willisinterviewer) modestly.“It’s a sincere joy and honour for meto just keep doing it because I lovedancing and I love to see other peopleenjoying it as well!”(July 2002 – Page 30)NovemberCommonwealthGames“…The XVII Commonwealth Gamesfi nale was a defi ning moment for Linedancing.With perfect timing they (800 dancersin the City of Manchester Stadium in frontof 38000 spectators and one billion TVviewers) went straight into their routine,a series of 16 count steps performedat different times in different directionsmade the dove (image created by thedancers) ruffl e fl ap and fl y. There wasn’ta dry eye in the house.Dancers with in ear monitors couldhear the cues from Doug (Doug Jack,Commonwealth Games choreographerand associate director) in the controlbox and would relay them but at thispoint the control box had collapsed intears of joy….The fi nal move was a really powerfuland gripping message. Line dancersbroke from their dove position, theirdancing lights twinkling under the darkMancunian skies as they regrouped in agiant spell out.The words “Seek Peace” shimmeredacross the stadium and the crowd wentwild…..

With perfect precisions theybegin a series of 16-count routines that willbring the bird to life and ruffle, flap and fly.What the chart fails to show is the glare ofthe lights and the lashing rain that greetedthe Line dancers on the night.Moving MessageThe final move is a powerful and movingmessage.

Pamela Edelston explainswhy you should know the facts beforesurfi ng the web for free music.You read in the press someone has beenfined a large sum of money for illegallydownloading music from the Internet andI bet you don’t picture your Line dancingfriend. But this may have happened orcould be about to happen. It is commonfor choreographers to release a newdance and the right piece of music to beonly available from the Internet. You may believe it is safe to goonline and obtain the songs from the web’s fantastic selectionof tunes – but be careful, you maybe committing a crime.It has been reported 23 people were forced to paycompensation totalling £50,000 for sharing thousands oftracks illegally on the Internet. Those fined included acouncillor, an IT director and the parents of children whohad used peer-to-peer music sharing web sites. Peerto-peersites allow anyone to upload music making itaccessible for anyone to download it without paying.The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) is leading thebattle against the proliferation of music sharing sites.The attack on individuals follows the globally publishedcase in 2000 against Napster. The industry won thefight against Napster, when it targeted them as themain contributors to the problems regardingillegal downloads. Napster is where musicon the Internet began. It was an Internetsensation started by two college students,ChristmasCrackersWe asked four choreographers theirfavourite bits of Christmas and here’ssome of what we found out!Maggie G’s Favourite Christmas Carol:– O Little Town Of BethlehemRobin Sin’s Favourite Line Dance :– Happy HolidayLizzie Clarke’s favourite Christmas film:– The SnowmanMichael Vera Lobos’ favourite Christmas song :– Rudolf, The Red Nosed Reindeer(December 2005 – Page 42)Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker, lettingpeople swap music for free online. Napsterat its peak experienced 60 million users,hence the record companies experienceda decline in sales citing the Internet as thereason for the drop. Since 1999 sales ofsingles have reportedly slumped by morethan 50 percent. More recently in the finalweek of 2004 legally downloaded tracksoutsold physical singles for the first time.And now the pop charts include legallydownloaded music.Five of the major record labels EMI, AOLTime Warner, Sony, Universal and BMGEntertainment sued Napster, almostinstantly putting to death free downloads.But downloading is back bigger than ever– you are safe to go online and downloadmusic providing you use a legal site, such asthe new version of Napster or iTunes. Theemergence of these sites has given peoplethe option to pay to download music insteadof using unlawful methods. The new musicsites are useful places to go, giving you theoption to download a single for less than apound. You should feel confident using thesesites and as a Line dancer they could be theanswer to your prayers when strugglingto afford expensive albums for a singledance track. By using the legal downloadsites on the Internet you can get tracks fora reasonable amount, which is not goingto send you broke and doesn’t leave youresenting the costs when the dance comesand goes. You can use the music link onwww.Linedancermagazine.com where youwill find almost 40 artists including GlennRogers, Scooter Lee and The Deans.You can choose to use the illegal downloadsites but you should know the industr y doesnot research information on the individualsit sues - it is completely random. In 2003,in New York, a 12 year old girl from a lowincome family was forced to pay almost$2,000 for downloading music illegally.Brianna LeHara thought what she was doingwas legal after her mother paid a $29.99service charge to use the Kazaa musicsharing site. The youngster usually onlylistened to the tracks and recorded themfor personal use, to her knowledge unlessshe was distributing the music and sellingit for profit she was not acting illegally. TheRecording Industry of America didn’t see itthat way when they went after 261 people inan attempt to scaremonger people into givingup downloading music unlawfully.With the emergence of share music sites,such as Kazaa, Grokster and BearShare,which offer free access to music, you may beforgiven for believing copyright has becomeobsolete. It is virtually impossible to policesites which allow people to swap music andthey are probably always going to exist. Thechances of being caught are slim, if you thinkabout how many people are doing it - it isreported eight million people download inthe UK and 92 percent of those do it illegally.The probability of you being the next personto be caught out is unlikely. However, it isvital you remember it is the individual in thewrong. It is argued the illegal sites are notdoing anything against the law by providingthe software to make music sharing possible.Although it is limited there is music in thepublic domain, either because the artistshave given consent or it is 70 years afterthe death of the artist. This makes a lawfulreason for these sites to exist because thismusic is available for sharing free of charge.Each week as Line dancers we see moreand more new dances on the circuit and themusic gets even more obscure and hard toget hold of. Every dance is not dancable to aDolly Parton track and choreographers don’tjust use pop classics and chart music, which isavailable for a reasonable price in local shopsand supermarkets. The music we use coverspractically every style and genre. Thereforethe Internet and it’s endless variety of tunesis a great place for Line dancers to get theirdesired music. However it is important torealise if you are guilty of going onto illegalsites your actions will result in much morethan ‘a slap on the wrist’. People in theUnited States have faced prison sentencesand fines over $4,000 for what seems likea harmless exercise. The stealing of musicfrom these sites has been compared toshoplifting yet the consequences are muchmore severe.As a down loader you may not realise you aredoing anything illegal. A good rule to apply isif you are getting something for free whichyou would ordinarily have to pay for, you areprobably in the wrong. When swapping songsonline even though no money is changinghands it is considered you are engaging in‘commercial’ copying. You should always behappy to pay for music – after all it belongsto someone else. The record companies don’tgenerally give music away, even over theInternet. You are actually a copyright thief ifyou download music without the authorityof those who own the copyright.If you have or intend to use illegal sites you shouldprobably think twice - legal sites are available andthere is no excuse for breaking the law.June 2005How to purchase music fromLinedancermusic.comYou can access the Linedancer music siteby going to http://www.linedancermagazine.com and selecting Linedancer musicin the left menu, or direct through http://www.linedancermusic.comYou need to login using your user name andpassword to purchase music but not to viewinformation, search or play clips of music.Thirty second clips require Real Player freesoftware.You can search by All Artists, Latest Artists,Available Dances and All Songs.

As competition dancers prepare for theEuropeans at Brean sands Linedancer asked her to give 2) What advice would you offer to anyonewho will be competing for the first time atus the judge’s side of the storyThe Europeans in Brean Sands 2006?All I can say is go out on the floor and enjoyyourself. Make sure you have learned yourdances properly and are well-prepared– then just go for it.3) What do you consider to be the hardestaspect of judging competitions?It is very difficult, there are so many factorsto take into account – all the competitorshave different strengths and weaknesses.One may have fantastic technique, yet notbe a strong performer – another may put ona great show, but not have great technique.The judging is about weighing up everythingand deciding which competitor gives thebest overall performance on the day.How does talent from differentcountries compare?We are lucky in the UK because Linedance competitors are generally of avery high standard. Holland is the same.It’s great to see competitors from othercountries, such as South Africa, startingto get involved in the competition scene.All competitors from all countries loveLine dancing…. The camaraderie atinternational competitions is great.(February 2006 – Page 44)43Words ofWisdomJulyA Day in The Life ran as a seriesfor a few years and in December 2006we asked the then team of Linedancerto give a rundown on what their roleswere.

albumreviewTim Ruzgar.It would be remiss of me not to mentionthe Linedance Fever albums puttogether by one of my predecessorsSteve Crosby. These were a blessingto every instructor and DJ back in theday with a plethora of dance tracks foreveryone. Scooter Lee produced somegreat albums for Line dancers, and therewere also efforts from UK based artistswho tended to revamp old pop songsrather than write or release new material.I have selected a few albums thateveryone who started Line dancing inthe mid to late nineties will immediatelyremember dancing to, no matter whichclass or social event they attended, andthey are probably still doing many of thedances off them today.Undoubtedly Shania Twain’s musichad a massive impact on Line dancingand her biggest hit album ‘The WomanIn Me’ was released just before thebig boom in Line dancing in the midnineties. Who can forget Any Man OfMine (76bpm) with its dance EasyCome Easy Go which is still dancedtoday? Other notable tracks wereWhose Bed Have Your Boots BeenUnder (132bpm) for the dance LooseBoots, (If You’re Not In It For Love) I’mOutta Here (120bpm) for Scott Blevin’sOutta Line, and No One Needs ToKnow (134bpm) to which I rememberdoing a dance with an unusual name,Bad Frog, No Princess.The couple of hundred or so danceson the Linedancer magazine website’sDance Scripts to tracks from this albumreinforces why this has to be on theclassic Line dance albums list. In myhumble opinion Shania didn’t deliveranother album as good this althoughshe went on to become an internationalsuperstar by crossing over to themainstream music charts.Alan Jackson is another artist whosemusic has been a great friend to Linedancing over the years and it all startedwith “A Lot About Livin’ (And A Little‘bout Love)” his breakthrough albumfrom the late nineties. Undoubtedlyanyone who was Line dancing backthen will remember dancing the danceChattahoochee to Chattahoochee(90bpm) a feel good song and dance.Mercury Blues (86bpm) had severaldances doing the rounds and Iremember doing the “Elvis Legs” to oneof them. Tropical Depression (106bpm)introduced many to the Cha Cha styleof Line dancing whilst, Up To My EarsIn Tears (108/216bpm) was a super littletwo stepper and (Who Says) You Can’tHave It All (92bpm) started many offdancing in three four time with waltzes.One artist you could not leave off anyclassic Line dance album’s list is GarthBrooks. No Fences was his secondalbum released back in 1990 and itis his most successful ever selling inexcess of 17 million copies.One of the biggest hit dances SleazySlide was to Friends In Low Places(110bpm) a fun dance that some evenmade a little provocative! This songbecame a huge anthem at Garth’s liveshows. Mr. Blue (126bpm) was used forseveral dances including Black Coffee.New Way To Fly (122bpm) is a lovelywaltz and Daniel Whittaker wrote FirstKiss Waltz to it. Other superb tracksinclude The Thunder Rolls (82pm),Two Of A Kind Workin’ On A FullHouse (128bpm), This Ain’tTennessee (76bpm), and the hauntingUnanswered Prayers ( 68bpm).

Their outfi ts weretheir own school uniforms and shoes withhand made waistcoats over the top.At your next social, why not encourageyour dancers to give the odd thing or two,it will soon add up. ….. Please help andwith you on board we can all make a Worldof Difference for the children of SouthAfrica….”(March 2009 – Page 35)And this we did as the mini campaignwas very successful and our readers gavethose young dancers a treasure trove ofcostumes and shoes for their competitions.On the beatLinedancer magazine has always triedto include everybody who Line dancesin its pages. In September that year, wemet Gloria Hughes who had developed aunique way to get older dancers involved.“…It was in 1997 that we (her moremature dancers class) wanted to go to Linedance weekends. Because there weren’t somany to go to, I started organizing our own.Our fi rst one abroad after a couple at homewas Ostend in Belgium. By coach! I knewI would have to integrate some exercisesinto the journey. We started Sitting DownLine Dancing.The principle was simple. Everyonehad to move to music with arms, legs andall the linked muscles INCLUDING a smile!This would be taught by using recordedinstructions on tape (as if teaching a Linedance), building the movements in eight countsections and voice dubbing the music for thefirst attempt….Two years ago, I was asked tointroduce the idea as part of Healthy LivingProject for Age Concern Montgomeryshire.This is a centre for the elderly wherepeople attend, meet socially and enjoy regularexercise programs. Joan Evans Co-ordinatorof the Centre says: “Line dancing sittingdown is a good way for people who cannotstand to take part in exercise…Sitting Down Line Dancing is reallypopular because it reaches people whocannot always use their legs as much asthey used to but who have been dancersand still dance in their hearts and in theirheads…”(September 2009 – Page 38)Welcome to a new world“…Maggie Gallagher has kindly sent us a picture of her new baby boy.

SOmuch so we decided to publish inthree parts. This is an excerpt of Part 2.“…I don’t know what it is aboutmy family, but no one takes any timedying. One minute they’re there, nextminute they’ve gone, no warning, notime to think about it.On December 13th 1972 Mumand Nan had been shopping, I waswaiting to be picked up for a show atYork Hall, Hackney before going toBristol for three nights.…. I had to wait until the followingmorning to make the call to see howmy beloved Nan was doing. “She’sgone, boy”, Uncle Ivor’s deep, quietvoice came down the phone.“She didn’t suffer, just went tosleep. She’s with Grandad again”.I was 14 years old, I had no ideahow to react, I just wanted it not tobe true.…. That night (Friday I think)was not good. I forgot words, cues,didn’t smile or laugh and John(John Chapman was Glenn’s thenmanager and mentor) made mevery aware of it.He was teaching me the only wayhe knew how that this is the life youwant, this is the price you pay, nohalf measures, no playing at it, doit or get out of it and leave it to thepeople who are strong enough….The final blow came early inFebruary when John Chapman diedof a heart attack at Moorgate Tubestation.Suddenly, there was no moreguiding light, no more wise words.(July 2010 – Page 26)www.linedancermagazine.comThe last lineThis is Laurent’s column everymonth and he uses it often as a wayof engaging a debate, even if it meansbeing a little controversial sometimes.“…Did you know that Amazonfor example has close enough to 13and half MILLION tracks available todownload… Yet, we receive hundredsof dance scripts each month with songchoices totally impossible to fi nd. Sothe big question here is…why? Seemsto me that if you are going to spend agreat deal of time writing a new dance,trying out steps, rewriting it, trying it out,rewriting it just one last time and fi nallyreleasing it, the logical step would beto ask oneself …. can dancers get themusic easily?This leads me to another thought.Dancers can also exercise theirrights and perhaps overlook what isnot available. …. Perhaps if we allget a little tougher in our choices,someone somewhere may just get themessage….BradPaisley9 771366 65003109The monthly magazine dedicated to Line dancingHow to’sLinedancer every so often revisits“etiquette” and in 2010 Gary Laffertygave us his views on the importanceof being courteous on the dance floor.“Please DO:Squiggle Danceis being played, and for any floor splitsbeing called … remember to take smaller steps when anew dance is being taught…and NEVERkick too high or jump with both feet off thePlease DON’T: music is playing to reach the other side ofthe hall …. there is not enough space for you to do soto tie the laces on your sparkly danceshoes, this is very dangerous …(April 2010 – Page 20)Cover 172 – AugustAnother Brad Paisley image.

We’ve comea long way...thSPECIAL EDITIONLinedancer magazine, all the way through this edition, is looking back at itslong history and here, some of the great names of the industry wanted tosay a few words about the magazine and what Linedancer means to them!Dynamite DotHaving been a member of LinedancerMagazine from day one, I can onlyapplaud the continued success andrelevance of it still today. Many willmake extravagant congratulations onall the aspects of the magazine and itsachievements and I would be likely toagree with most of them but my maincomment would be this... Through allthe inevitable changes in Line dancingover the years, Linedancer Magazinehas remained a constant. Always therethrough good times and not so good.Always striving to stay relevant to whatthe dancing community needs in all itscontradictions and colours. Everythingworthwhile needs a little pain and a lot ofhard work to sustain it.The magazine has achieved so much thatit is now almost taken for granted which isa huge compliment. Congratulations forbeing the one constant in our Linedancingworld.Kim RayMy word… A 200th edition! What anincredible achievement for you all andwhere has all that time gone? I believe I’vebeen receiving my monthly fi x for closeon all those editions and wouldn’t wantto be without it. Keep doing what you’redoing and here’s to the next 200 copies.Many, many congratulations.Martha OgasawaraWow, 200th edition and 16 years old!Way to go! Linedancer Magazine and Igo back a long way. I’ve been reading itfrom the start.Back in the B.I. (Before internet) darkages, magazines were our only sourcefor new dances. Also, since I live in Japanit was hard to keep up with what wasgoing on in the rest of the dance world.Thanks to the internet, it’s now relativelyeasy to get step sheets, dance videos,event flyers etc. And on Facebook wecan get updates about dance eventsliterally as they’re happening. But to me,where Linedancer has stayed the mostvital is its coverage of international newsfrom all over the world. I really enjoyreading about what’s happening in othercountries, and about dance personalitiesI might not otherwise have known about.It has also been important for me in notonly getting news but sharing news aswell. Although Line dancing has beenongoing in Japan for nearly 20 years,since most Japanese dancers don’tspeak a lot of English, news aboutit didn’t travel much. Therefore earlyon, I took it upon myself to writearticles about what’s going on inthe Line dance world in Japan, andmore recently nearby Korea. There’snothing like the feeling you get whenyou open a new issue and see your ownarticle in print. Thank you Linedancer foralways graciously using my articles andhelping me spread the news. I’mproud to be part of such aninternational community.Best wishes for another 200issues. I hope we can growold together.www.linedancermagazine.com

KingsHill Dance HolidaysFun, fun, fun is the description thatKingsHill use to describe their Linedance weekend breaks. Founded byJohn and Barbara King and Ron Hill in2000, the company specialises in dancebreaks for Line Dancers and sequencedancers, offering the largest programmeof holidays for each type of dancingavailable in Britain.John King comes from a travelbackground and has been organisingholidays since 1964 so he is more thanqualified when it comes to hostingfabulous events. Line Dancing is nowdone to a wide range of music and mostlyfollows a non-country theme. KingsHillHolidays, where the leaders have alwaysbeen encouraged to take requests, havestayed in tune with the times and playwhatever their audience wants, whetherthat be country, pop or even rock. Theirlatest innovation is a series of themed“Party Time Breaks” at some of the largerhotels used by the company where,amongst other features there will bededicated seats in the dance room.KingsHill has always tried to makesure that it offers a very wide choice inits programme from resorts, hotels,leaders, artistes and more recentlychoreographers. It is able, through itsmany contacts in the travel business, tooffer some very competitive prices andexcellent value for money. The companyhas tended to concentrate on venueswhere their customers could dance, eatand sleep under one roof and with veryfew exceptions, have stuck closely tothat policy. These venues range in sizefrom 40 to 600 plus dancers, most ofthem have leisure facilities and all haveexcellent dancing facilities.Throughout its 12 year life, Kingshill hasmade many friends with organisers ofgroups as it recognised very early on thatthe Line Dance fraternity tended to bookin groups of anything from 6 to 70 andfelt that those who did the work to put thegroups together should be rewarded withgenerous discounts. They are lookedafter with great care.John says, “One of the elementsof operating a successful holidayprogramme is ensuring that theadministration side of the businessfunctions perfectly and that things are wellorganised, right down to the last detail.Although we still do most of the bookingsby phone and we are well known for ourfriendly, helpful staff. We also have a verysophisticated computer system, linkedto the KingsHill website, which allowscustomers to make bookings securelyonline, check availability or order abrochure. He adds, “Shortly, there willbe further developments which will allowdance teachers to access informationespecially written for them, an option forcustomers to review holidays they havetaken and offer opinions about the hotelsand there will be a gallery of pictures

KingsHill Dance Holidays have been around for overtwelve years, organising Line dance holidays with adifference and with over 100 holidays based at morethan 30 destinations, there is something for everyone.AUDREY WATSONBrilliant weekend at theNorbreck, the best KingsHillweekend we have been on. Weall thought the self-service mealswere excellent.taken at events with links to YouTube forvideo footage. We have covered all areas!”The company doesn’t just organisefabulous dance holidays. They also doas much as they can for charity includingLinedancer magazine’s charitable causethe LDF Foundation. John adds, “Ourown attitude to charitable work hasalways been to ensure that the charitieswe support are either nationwide orvery relevant to many of our customers.KingsHill receives numerous requests forsupport and over the years has donatedthousands of pounds to charities upand down the country, one of the mostoutstanding donations being the £1100raised for LDF in March 2011.Othernotable donations have been to Childrenin Need as one of the KingsHill Blackpoolevents normally coincides with this worthyappeal day. John adds, “I have neverencountered such generosity nor seensuch hard work put in to raise money forcharity as I see from Line Dancers, bothat my own functions and as reportedregularly in Linedancer Magazine.”KingsHill and Linedancer have enjoyed agreat relationship over the years, workingtogether since the holiday company firstopened its doors. John adds, ““We areever mindful of the benefits of occupyingat least the back page of LinedancerMagazine and we are delighted to beon both the inside front and insideback covers of this the 200th Edition ofLinedancer. KingsHill Holidays offer manycongratulations to Betty and her team,with whom they have enjoyed a wonderfulrelationship over the past 12 years.”Early on, the company established aphrase to accompany their advertising,“Your enjoyment is our business” and thatis still at the very heart of the company’sthinking and actions today. John adds,“We want everyone to have a fantastictime when attending one of our weekendsand it is our job to make sure they do. “PAULA BREWERThank you for anotherreally excellent weekend inScarborough.

The way weand still are?were…As Linedancer celebrates 100 issues,Harry Seddon looks back at what’s changed onthe dancefloor – and what hasn’t.In the beginning was the word, and theword was, ‘”Yee-Haw!” The dress wasWestern and the music Country. So whatwas it that attracted us to Line dancing100 Linedancer magazines ago?Undoubtedly those who had previouslyattended Country music venues wereattracted by the music, and possibly thedress, (after all, they’d been dancing inlines long before the explosionin popularity of Line dancing).Most of us had Line danced previously,but we didn’t know it; rememberMacarena, Agadoo, The Birdie Song,The Slosh? It was Line dancing, Jim, butnot as we knew it!So what did attract us to Line dancing?I suggest that it was the dancing, theavailability of classes, a dance formthat did not require a partner, an activitysuitable for all ages and physical ability,the fun, undoubtedly the hype, and yes,the music.So what has changed with the passingof the years? Well the dancing is stillthere. It’s not the same; some saying thisis a good thing, others wishing it was,‘like the old days’. However, I do wonderhow many people would still be dancingeight years on? If we had not moved onfrom Electric Slide, Flying 8s, BirchwoodStroll and so on, I for one would havepacked up years ago. Yet these dancesare still around and still very useful forabsolute beginners, which is what a lot ofus were eight years ago.Yes the dancing has changed, butmaybe not as much as we initially think.What about the availability of classes?Clearly there are nowhere near as manyas there used to be when Line dancingpopularity was at its height. (The veryfi rst class I attended saw about 120 ofus crowd into a school gymnasium).As the initial surge of enthusiasmsubsided, so did the number of peopleattending classes and socials, and thoseinstructors who had, jumped on the bandwagon, packed up their Billy Ray CyrusCDs and went home.However, those instructors whohad got into it because theyloved line dancing stayed, andeven today most people are nottoo far away from a class, as alook through Stompin’ Ground willtestify.So not too much changethere then, fewer classes,but still plenty of choiceto suit all tastes.We still dance in linesand without a partner,so absolutely nochange there, andall the reasonsthat not needing apartner to dance withwhich attracted us then,are still just as valid today.

Wasn’t it great eight years ago to goLine dancing and see people of all ageshaving fun together? Three generationsdancing together, with the young onesadding their youthful exuberance, whiletheir grandparents did the same dance,but with smaller steps and less upperbody movement.Well no change there then, you’ll stillsee seven-year-olds and septuagenarianson the same dance floor, and sometimesolder and younger.Of course, 100 magazine issues ago itwas great fun, wasn’t it? We didn’t knowour grapevine from our coaster step, ourjazz box from our shuffle. We went wrongquite a lot. We didn’t know then that younever go wrong, just dance a variationand we laughed at ourselves and with ourfellow dancers.But if we listen to the prophets of doomthese days, the fun has gone out ofLine dancing, we areall much too serious.Well, ********, is whatI say. We instruct twoabsolute beginnerclasses each weekand they laugh justas much as we didand sometimes more.Maybe we don’tlaugh quite as muchnow because we arenot as nervous aswe were and don’tmake as manymistakes as wedid. But we, andlots of others, dolaugh and havefun, at both classand socials, so if you’renot laughing much, maybe you are notdoing hard enough dances and makingenough mistakes. Just a thought.My personal view is not much changethere either.The initial hype has undoubtedly gone,but like most new crazes, that was tobe expected. After all you don’tsee as many hula-hoops, yoyos,or those clacky -balls onstrings, these days do you?Eight years ago it wasn’tnecessary to advertise asocial. The word spreadlike wild fi re and peoplesimply turned up. I canremember on severaloccasions arriving ata social half an hourbefore the start time,only to fi nd thatthere was nowhereleft to sit.And the numberof people attendingclasses meant that notonly was it impossible towww.linedancermagazine.comsee the instructor’s feet, but oftenthe instructor was invisible if you’dnot managed to get into the fi rstthree rows.Halcyon days indeed, at leastfor the instructors and promoters,some of whom raked in the cashand didn’t even need to buy manyCDs. But for the rest of us, the rankand fi le dancers, it wasn’t ideallearning dances in village halls with80 others, and no way to see whatthe instructor’s feet were doing. (It’sno wonder we laughed a lot, wehad plenty of reasons to go wrong).Certainly smaller classes are better for thedancers, and not having to arrive half anhour and more, before the start of a social,is a defi nite advantage.So some changes there but on balancebetter for the dancers, which is what it’sall about.In the beginning Line dancing was aninexpensive pastime,and it still is.The fi rst classwe attended,all those yearsago, cost £2for a 90-minutesession, and thefi rst CD socialwe attended– having spentages pluckingup the courageto go – cost £3.The price now?Well I can’t speakfor everyone, butwe charge £2 for atwo-hour class and£3 for a four-hour CDsocial.So in real terms the cost is only a fractionof what it was, despite all the increases inhall costs, CDs, etc. Change then, butnow even cheaper.OK, so we have to mention themusic, and of course that has changedconsiderably, hasn’t it? Eight years ago itwas all Country, wasn’t it? Of course it was.Still no harm in checking the Linedancerarchives to be sure. Let’s see, issuenumber 1 June 1996, featured cowgirlson the cover: We can now confess theyweren’t actually dancers but two of theLinedancer sales staff Lesley Robinsonand Sharon Murphy. Lesley has sincemoved on to other things but Sharon isstill a leading light with the company.What dance scripts were printed?Texas Twist – how Country can youget? – choreographed to Gonna Take ALot Of River by the Oakridge Boys. Yepthat’s Country. Hold on, there’s two othertracks detailed. Twistin The Night Awayby Scooter Lee & In The Mood by JiveBunny. Well that can’t be right can it? Mustbe a mistake.OK so most of the music was Country,but even in our very fi rst issue, not 100per cent Country. So maybe, just maybe,not quite as big a change as is generallybelieved.The dress eight years ago was muchmore Western, but again not 100 per cent.Lots of us have never owned a fringedshirt in our lives, let alone matching his‘n’ hers cowboy/girl outfi ts. Most peoplewore boots those days, but the alternativewas “shopping shoes” as there were nodance shoes or trainers to buy. Of courseyou saw a lot of Stetsons then, but nowthe number of people wearing hats at asocial of several hundred, can be countedon two hands.So change in dress for some but not foreveryone, and dare I suggest that thosewho have swapped thick canvas shirts forlightweight tops, and boots for shoes andtrainers, have done so out of choice andpracticality.So to sum up, the past eight years and100 Linedancer magazines have seenmany changes but not quite as many or asmuch, as is generally believed. I welcomeand embrace the vast majority of thechanges and the stance that Linedancerhas taken in these changes.I believe that Line dancing is now evenstronger than it was eight yearsago. We have stood the testof time and despite thethreat of splits in ourmovement we are stilltogether as a friendlywhole. I look forwardto the next 100issues.Happy BirthdayLinedancer!

This article was fi rst printed in July 1997 and was part ofScooter Lee’s great “The Truth Is…” series (1997-2001) inwhich the lady herself settled a few scores and pulled nopunches. Here she talks about something that is today,STILL a problem. And though you would have to substitutethe word “download” for CD, the topic remains still ascurrent as it was 16 years ago!The truth is... by Scooter Lee (Issue 14 - July 1997)It seems everywhere I travel now, someone has an instructional dance video tosell. I also notice that along with that dance they have the music as well. Wheredid they get it? But most important, who gave them the right to use it??? I hearinstructors say, “I bought the CD so I own the music, don’t I??”Line dancing is considered one of the biggest phenomenons since disco.And when something this big happens, people jump on the bandwagon. A lotof the ‘hoopla’ is around money as anytime you have a phenomenon of thismagnitude, a lot of people make a lot of money. I’d like to discuss videos, notCMT music videos but ‘Linedance Instructural Videos’.Well the Truth is...It is absolutely, positively illegal to use anyone’s song on your video if you don’thave written permission from the record label or publishing company. It clearlystates on the back of your CD ‘All Rights Reserved’. That means it belongs tosomeone else and you have to pay for the right to use it. Labels spend 100’sof 1000’s of pounds/dollars to produce a CD for you to hear. When you usethe music without permission it is considered, ‘Copyright infringement’ and ispunishable by law with fines and sometimes prison. Now I know you think youare doing nothing wrong by producing a few 100 here and there but you arewrong! Know your legal rights if you are going to make money at someoneelse’s expense.What can you do?Many times a company will do an ‘audio release’ for you if you agree topromote the CD on the video and video cover as to where it can be purchased.Sometimes you can do a buy out but that is usually very costly. And sometimesa label will just say no, you can’t use the music. Please respect this. (Usuallyin the case of major labels). Most of the time though, there is a charge pluspercentage of every video sold.A good rule to remember if you are putting music on an instructional video. Nomatter how much of the song you plan to use, 30 seconds or 3 minutes...“If you plan to play to...,you have to pay it!”Scooterwww.linedancermagazine.com
