Breathtakingly Beautiful
And after all these years the CBA retains all of its magic, all of its wonder… Alex and Jacqueline got a standing ovation last year and made both our cover and a report in April 2012. “…To describe the atmosphere that night, after watching two dancers, she in a wheelchair and he able bodied, is impossible to put into words. Electric, emotional, out of this world, redefi ning, all these descriptives apply. It changed the whole perception of what a dancer can do.
Dynamite Calendar
Dynamite Dot lives well up to her nickname and recently we saw a lot of her and her dancers in a report about her very own Calendar Girls… The irrepressible sense of fun that ONLY Line dance can sustain over 16 odd years!
“Mission almost accomplished. The fun of the Dynamite club, run by my crazy self for the last 18 years will have yet another unforgettable notch on its belt. This calendar, in part, is from me to my wonderful club members both past and present for all the love, music, fun, friendship and dance that we have shared together.
It will soon be time for me to hang up the well worn boots for good. All we need to do now is raise lots of money for The East Lancashire Hospice so please buy a calendar or make a donation, or both. (October 2012 – Page 22)

Effortless glides, amazing lifts, elegant moves, this was a dance that two able bodied dancers could never equal. What is the problem with Jacqueline? Alex: It is a long story. Briefl y, she has SLE (Systematic Lupus Erythematosus), an auto immune disease. That means the body is constantly under attack. Sometimes the pain is really diffi cult to bear and she has not been free of it since she was nine years old… We both try to deliver a message to both able bodies people and people in wheelchairs to enjoy each other and enjoy music. Don’t think I have a handicap and now it’s over. It’s not the quality in the sport that matters. It’s the way you live your life any way you can. (April 2012 – Page 17)
Cover 194 - June
Undoubtedly THE cover that brought the most comments from our readers. Simply beautiful, stunning are the two words used the most about it. It may not have a lot to do with Line dancing but Darren and Lana remain a constant in our community and this second cover dedicated to them proved once again how amazing they are as dancers and Line dancers in their own right!
Too Many Dances
(nothing new then!)
Dancers I know enjoyed dancing to country music, with its distinctive beat, when we started 15 to 20 years ago. ….. We always enjoyed Line dancing for not needing a partner, the individuality of the dances and their record tracks, knowing as soon as heard what should be danced. I think it’s a shame there are so many dances coming through in Linedancer each month. This puts extra pressure on teachers and dancers to learn them. We enjoy Line dancing, doing dances we know well and learning a few new ones, using Linedancer to have a preview of the steps of any new dances we may be taught, now with so many which do you choose? Hoping old dances can be printed as well as new so that newer dancers can benefi t from them as well. Mrs Barbara Marno, Eastbourne, East Sussex (November 2012 – BTLs)
