Magic Carpet Ride

I think this dance is sooo much fun, like the music too. Not really the music for pure country fans, perhaps not for pop fans either, but i like it cuz it has a nice latin feel to it! The dance fits really well to the music. Well done to Kathy Hunyadi & AT Kinson, their collaboration is showing great results!!

I saw this dance in Southport at the Floral Hall in the choreography competion and knew it was a winner, it is a very happy bouncy dance that looked alot of fun to do. I had to leave early and have only just found out the results of the competition, I send my congratulations to you Stewart and your friends that performed with you. Well Done you certainly deserved it.

I think it's a really good party dance I don't think it's well suited for those serious dancers who don't know how to have fun! Well done To Chalotte Oulton

This dance is my fave at the moment!!! When Jo Thompson taught it at the workshops i went to, it went down a storm. You can really express your self adding your own styling! Taught it last Friday, everyone loved it! I love the music too. Well done Jo, Jamie & Joanne- these three gals have class, and have created a fab dance!!!!

I love it! After nearly a year of knowing it i still love it! It goes so well with the music. It's nice and fast too, which is good because it makes it stand out from every other waltz! Jo Thompson is well know for creating gorgous dances...perfect example here!

If there were 20 boots i'd give it 20! I love it, it is perfectly phrased! It's quite challageing for some, but once you get it, it's a breaze! It's also brill to watch it danced too! This should be a hit, my advise is learn it and see for your selves, you won't be dissapointed! Well done to Kathy & Jo for this wonderful creation!

I think that this dance is simple but fun and a very good dance for beginners to learn.It also seems to get the most people on the dance floor and should take pride and place on the dancefloor.

Wicked dance, although it actually sounds a bit like the lion king. Good music, not such a good dance, as there are tags.

Love the dance, but shocked to find that everyone i know has been doing it wrong (the kick-kick triple-step near the end is 1, 2, & 3, 4, not 1, 2, coaster step - arrggghhhh!). This dance fits PERFECTLY to Sonique's "Put A Spell On You" - but the song sounds terrible coming out of a high-power sound system (the bass on the track is already high enough, adding more just ruins it), so it's something i'm only ever able to do at home with a normal cd player :(

Try doing this to mistletoe & wine - I can garauntee someone will fall over on the hold........ nice dance, though, if a bit tricky when done quickly.
Just Can't Wait

Just learned this dance from Bernie & Jean Oram, visitors from Eng to Nashville Waikiki. Great 32count dance to music by Dixie Chicks (haven't played the other recommended music). Smooth transitions and easy to teach because it flows, however, I think the last (4th) measure count "29-30" should be "5&6" because instructions indicate it's a "coaster step". Please advise.

I just taught this dance and the choreograhpy matchs the music by the Coors. I just had one question on the lst measure. After kicking left & right, it seems more natural to cross R behind L and turn CW to end on the back wall. Anyone have any comments on this? Otherwise, my dancers liked it and we'll do it again.
