If anyone should be convinced that Line dance is a serious dance genre that can be part of someone’s career, then point them in the direction of George Blick. This handsome young man of just 21 years of age has a golden future assured and Line dance has played a big part in it. Laurent fi nds out more from this future dance star…
George Blick was born in 1990 in the small Welsh town of Cowbridge. He says: “I started Line dance very young. My grandfather had to pick my Nan up from her Line dance class in Llantwit, so I went along to sit and watch.” As young George watched the dancers he thought to himself “I can do this” and he says: “That’s when it all went wrong because people started turning and changed walls as well as free styling! Yikes!” As he had joined in by then, he caused havoc on the dance fl oor. However the instructor, Stephanie Harris taught an easy dance ‘Ruby, Ruby’. This was the true beginning for George. “I picked it up and she could see I was interested. She then asked me if I wanted to start a children’s class and I said yes.” The class was a hit as 30 children turned up and George has been on dance fl oors ever since.

In this occasional
series we are going
to try and fi nd
out about some
of your favourite
choreographers.
Dawn Middleton spoke
with Alan Birchall.
Alan Alan Alan Alan Alan Alan Alan Alan Alan BirchallBirchallBirchallBirchallBirchallBirchall
What is the fi rst memory of dance in
your life?
Ooooh, that’s tough, it’s way back in my
childhood, I must have been about eight.
I can remember family gatherings of
aunts, uncles and cousins at Christmas
etc.... Their favourite ‘game’ was to get
in a circle, children in the middle (so we
couldn’t escape) put a pop tune on the
radiogram (remember them?), Freddie
and The Dreamers, Cliff Richard, Frank
Ifi eld – even Tommy Steele’s Little White
Bull and we all had to dance while they
watched! That was probably the fi rst and
last time I ever actually danced before
Line dance. Unless of course when in
a nappy I would ‘bob’ up and down to
music as babies do but if I did I have no
recollection of it.
Before you got into Line dance what
was your favourite genre?
Before Line dance, well there was
nothing dance wise apart from the
standard teenage boy things at disco’s,
the obligatory ‘handbag steps’. I was very
much into the music of the era and live
bands, so my heroes were The Beatles,
The Rolling Stones, Jethro Tull, Led
Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Deep Purple and
many others of that ilk. In fact, music and
good lyrics are very much a key element
in determining what I listen to and write to.
These days my listening choices are vast,
covering every genre, I put that down to
my parents as there was always music in
the house of every style. My Grandfather
played the piano, he played by ear in the
local pubs (he couldn’t use his hands!)
My mother also played piano but I have
no recollection of her playing in public. I
play guitar and keyboard, both probably
very badly now as I haven’t played either
properly for years.
When did you discover Line dance?
I would have been in my early to middle
40’s. The neighbours where all raving
about it but the local class was on a
Thursday night and the ‘Vicar Of Dibley’
had just appeared on our TV screens, so
no chance of me taking it up! However
the series fi nished and I toddled off to the
class, the rest is history.
What did it bring to you that other
dance genres had not?
That one is hard to say, really, as in my
case, there was no other dance genres
to compare it to, I’d seen dancing on TV
with The Young Generation, Pan’s People
and Hot Gossip, etc.

Once again, this latest festival has been a true success for its 2011 edition. Five days of fi esta, dance and happiness. Happiness in fi nding each other again, happiness in meeting new faces, happiness of discovery, pure fun and simply happiness in being there.This was the last year that this festival was going to be in its original position as 2012 will be in the new and huge Sun Stadium with an incredibly large space dedicated to dancers. I have tried to get a sneak preview of it but it is all top secret so you will have to unfortunately make do with my report on what we did get up to this year.
Every day, a tribute was paid to Robert Wanstreet, the original dancer of Country and Western in France who sadly died a few months ago. The most important event with Robert in mind in Mirande was the Flashmob. That had been Robert’s idea to start with, the idea being for a crowd to dance a simpler version of his choreography ‘Go Grease’. A terrible storm tried to sabotage our efforts but a large number of dancers who were extremely well motivated ran towards the covered Espace Danse (dance area). There, we all were treated to a fantastic spectacle of dancers in red, looking terrifi c with huge smiles and dancing together, hand in hand. At last, the festival could start!
Steve Healy from Linedancer was with us and this was the fi rst time he had
Festival Of Festivals
The festival of Mirande in France is an annual event that no Country music lover wants to miss. Dozens of concerts, hours of dancing, thousands of visitors make Mirande, one of the best of its kind. Michèle Godard gives us the low down on the 2011 vintage.

Franck Boucheraud, whose responsibilities
are numerous* has once again been to one
of Nashville’s most prestigious events and
sent us this great report.
*Talent Buyer of the Canadian Country Music Night in the
Country Bike Festival in Tours in France, Press conference
leader in one of the biggest country festivals in
Craponne.
A lot of things have changed for the better since
the fi rst Fan Fair in 1972 held at the Ryman
Auditorium in Nashville but its original spirit
lives on. The original idea was to create a
unique link between music makers, stars
and their fans.
Today the CMA festival is visited by
65,000 fans, each day. So this report is
not about giving you a minute by minute
account of what went on but rather to
describe the atmosphere and even
speak about those moments that
made it special for me.
The Music city, aka Nashville,
straight away from my arrival
gave me a typical surprise.
I witnessed the shooting
of the new music video
of Lady Antebellum
‘Just A Kiss’ at the hotel
Union Station. Whilst
many will argue at the
term Country applying to
Lady Antebellum, they are
nevertheless a talented
band who got the award
of Best Group of the
Year in 2010 at the
CMA.

Here’s To The
Happy Couple
Sandy Keys and her Line dance friends
would like to congratulate Tom and Sue
on their marriage. “Please give them our
very best wishes. Tom and Sue attend
The Oakland Mavericks run by Nick and
Alison on the Wirral. I previously wrote to
you about Sue winning the last prize at our
Christmas raffle last year and the prize was
an engagement ring from Tom. They are a
lovely couple and it is a joy to see the fun
they have when they are Line dancing. We
had a wonderful evening of Line dance to
celebrate their marriage in October. Good
dancing, good food and good company
what more do you need. Please give them
our thanks.”
Home From HomeEarlier this year Craig Bennett held an
all day charity event at the Alford Sports
& Social Club in Warrington, Cheshire in
aid of Ronald McDonald House charity
which aims to provide free
‘home away from home’
accommodation at hospitals
across the UK, enabling
families to stay close to their
child and maintain a degree of
normal family life. With the help
of Dee Musk, Shaz Walton,
Pat Stott, Alan Birchall, Kim
Ray, DJ’S Dave Baycroft and
Andrew Palmer they managed
to raise a fantastic £2,300. All
the choreographers and DJ’s gave their
time and effort for free which meant more
money for the charity and the raffle prizes
were donated by Derek Birley.

A great dance, a bit of a work out
but I thoroughly enjoy it.
James Wilson
A brilliant dance, I love the music.
The restart is very easy. There are
some different steps in there. The
1/2 turn cross 1/2 turn caused a few
problems but overall a definite hit.
Denise Nicholls
The cross 1/2 turns that swing one
way and then the other are my
favourite part of the dance. It’s fast
but the steps aren’t too hard, so if
you struggle to keep up, try taking
smaller steps.
David Spencer
This took a couple of walkthroughs
to master but well worth it. A great
feeling of satisfaction for dancers of

step patterns challenge you and it
is written to a great track.

It’s not easy to pin down Rachael
McEnaney. She always seems to be on
the move! Reading her Facebook page
can make you envious of her jet setter life,
York today, New York tomorrow passing
through France, Japan, or the rest of the
US. How does she do it? How does she
look so good on it? How does she stay so
approachable and natural?
I managed to catch up with Rachael
at the City of Light festival in Paris, ten
minutes before she was due to fl y off
somewhere else after a weekend of
teaching six of her latest dances as well
as MCing in English at the Saturday night
Show. Rachael is teaching more and
more workshops in France these days
and she is greatly appreciated, not only
for her dances and teaching style, which
is technically exact and fun, but also for
the fact that she teaches in fl uent French.
‘I love coming to France’ she tells
me, adding that she has seen some
tremendous developments over the last
three years. Rachael fi rst came to Paris
with Pedro Machado when she was 17,
her potential then was very obvious and
with the help of people such as Pedro
and Rob Fowler she went on to become
Female Superstar in Edmonton 2001.
She has never looked back.
Rachael feels that she was in the right
place at the right time in the development
of country western dance and thanks to
her natural talent has been able to make
her mark. I likened her to Jo Thompson,
a compliment which many other people
have also paid her. The same dance
talent, the same ability to produce
well constructed dances, the same
enthusiasm and ability to communicate
and beauty to boot.
I asked her how she approaches her
choreographies. “It’s the music fi rst of
all. Music has to strike me”. She has a
database of tunes that appeal to her and
often will not use a song immediately but
will keep some pieces for up to a year
before using them. Sometimes urgency
creeps in as she knows there will be a
danger of someone else using the track
before her. This was the case with Toes.
When listening to the music she will pick
out key words such as ‘kick’ or ‘turn’
and will then place these steps in the
appropriate place.

Rachael McEnaney
has had an amazing
career so far and
this year is a very
special one as she

birthday. Maureen
Jessop speaks to the
golden girl of Line
dance and looks at
why Rachael is truly a
national treasure and
an international name.

Raise YourGlassHowever, Rachel is not only a former
champion Line dancer, she is also an
accomplished couples dancer and especially
in West Coast Swing. She competes regularly
on the swing dance circuit in the States
dancing with various partners. She also
performs solo medley spotlights at festivals
or events such as the CBA. She has won
many, many awards for her choreographies,
teaching skills and personality being
acknowledged both by the profession and
the public. Her dances usually go straight to
the top of the charts.
As well as her travel, she also teaches a
regular class in her hometown of York and
has added to her programme the new craze
of Zumba. “I love it but can only teach it for
an hour because I get totally exhausted.”
Zumba is a fi tness programme to music
and the routines have to be choreographed,
another task that Rachael undertakes with
pleasure.
In addition to all her dance
accomplishments, she would make an
excellent business executive. Two years
ago I witnessed her working at a Masters
In Line event near Marseilles when she
undertook the organisation of the event at
the last moment as well as having to teach
workshops and perform in the Saturday
night show. Such is the nature of this young
woman that she wanted to share her 30th
birthday with the dance community and has
organised a Birthday Bash the weekend of
30th August in her home town of York. At
the time of writing these lines, it promised
to be a fun fi lled weekend with virtually non-
stop dancing, instruction by the very best
in international choreographers as well as
outings to the York hot spots.
Rachael told me that at 17 her father
wanted her to go to University, she replied
that if she hadn’t made it in the dance world
before she was 30 she’d go. Well, I guess
she can tear up that application form, safe in
the knowledge that not only she has made
it, but has become an International name, all
throughout the dance world.

My full name is Graciela Futten, most people call me Grace, my husband’s name is Manuel Santolaya. In Spain we do not change the name when we get married and on the marriage documents we are obliged to use both family names, mother and father as we have to decide which one is going to be used fi rst. My husband and I met in Kinshasa, ex Republique du Zaire, now Congo. Manuel is a dentist and I had to pay him a visit because I had very bad toothache and as they say, the rest is history. We got married in Spain in 1978. I was born in Argentina and my husband is from La Rioja, the wine region in the north of Spain. We came to live in Andalucía, Spain’s most southerly region, in 1979 and now both of us love it! We like the weather, the people, the way of life. Here people celebrate life and they minimise the less important things, the people are fun-loving and family-orientated.
We both like all kinds of music and we love to dance Latin, including Salsa, Bachata and Merengue. My husband very much enjoys Zarzuela, which is a
Spanish lyric-drama genre that alternates between spoken and sung scenes, the latter incorporating operatic and popular song, as well as dance. I love Bach, Mozart, Beethoven... but most of all we both love to dance.
I had heard about Line dance but I saw it for the fi rst time in Benalmádena, near to where we live. A patient of Manuel’s invited us one Saturday evening to the pub where he was working. We danced and there were some people singing and suddenly a group appeared dancing all together and having such fun. I asked our friend about them and he told me they were here on holiday from the UK. So I began to look for any information in the English newspapers in this area and I discovered our club, the Mississipi Coasters.
The Mississipi Coasters was founded 12 years ago and we are the fi rst Spanish to join. There are Argentinians, Belgians, Dutch, French Canadians, etc. We also receive a lot of holiday visitors because we appear in your magazine in the ‘Where 2 dance’ section.
Graciela Futten, joined the Mississipi Coasters Line dance club in Spain, three years ago. She has such a good time and has met some wonderful friends that she wanted to tell other Linedancer readers about it.

In the fi rst months the club was run by a couple but they went back to the UK and Bob Horan, a fantastic dancer, took over with the help of his wife Pauline.Bob runs and teaches and his wife Pauline does the organising and the social side of the club. We often go out for lunches and dinners with dancing included. We have great fun! The last outing took place in a ‘venta’, a typical Spanish countryside restaurant. We have also been invited by the Town Hall of Mijas to do a demonstration and at various festivals. We dance three times a week in different places in the area. During December and August we close because Bob and Pauline go to the UK to visit their family.
We have made good friends through the club and we often meet up and visit at each others houses, which is very nice. There are people in our club who like mainly country, others likes latin but the main thing is all of us love to dance, to have fun and we always have a very nice atmosphere, if we make mistakes we laugh... and we leave our problems at the door! Well I think this gives you an idea of who we are and we would love you to come and visit and join us to dance.

Back in the year 2000 the late John
Peel, on reviewing Laura Cantrell’s debut
album, commented, “This is my favourite
album of the last ten years and possibly
my life.” The name of the album was ‘Not
The Tremblin’ Kind’. I too thought it pretty
darn good. Laura went on to record fi ve
separate sessions for Peel’s radio show
and in 2005 dedicated ‘Humming By
The Flowered Vine ‘ to his memory.
Her second album ‘When The Roses
Bloom Again’ came my way in 2002.
For me it proved even better. She was
defi nitely an artist to watch out for.
In 2009 the Country Music Hall of Fame
in Nashville invited Laura to do a show to
link up with an exhibition dedicated to
Country music singer, Kitty Wells. The
climax of the show had the audience
singing along with Laura Cantrell to the
song that will always be associated
with Kitty Wells, ‘It Wasn’t God Who
Made Honky Tonk Angels’. Selecting
and performing those songs touched the
artist’s heart and left a lasting impression,
so much so that Laura decided to
dedicate an album to the great lady.
Now that the album is available in
Europe, Laura visited the United Kingdom
to tour and promote it. We met in London
and Laura turned out to be a gentle and
charming person. However, Laura knows
which direction she wants her life to go.
I asked, “Many artists who wish to make
it in Country music head for Nashville
and yet you were born and grew up in
Nashville and live in New York.” She
replied: “I live in Jackson Heights in
Queens. I came to New York to get to
school. I went to college and decided to
stay. I found there was a great community
there that embraced many different kinds
of music and a great, healthy, Country
music scene. I thought it would be easier
to grow up in that scene in New York
where in Nashville if you are getting a
local audience you are quickly on display.
The industry is so small and close knit it
can feel that there is a kind of intimacy. In
New York I was able to evolve and grow
up faster but not under the radar of the
Country music business itself.”
I understand Laura wanting a certain
anonymity to be able to grow in whatever

album and fi nds out more from an intriguing singer in

genre she can excel at. When I ask what
genre she thinks is best suited to her, her
reply is very straightforward. “To me my
music is Country. That’s where I come
from, especially when I was growing up.
The older Country music was still being
played on the radio. People like Kitty
Wells, Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Webb
Pierce and those artists of that generation
made huge impacts on me. They certainly
were not the contemporary artists of the
day and all those names were still all
around except for Hank. In my house we
also played a lot of Johnny Cash.”
She explains why her new album, ‘Kitty
Wells Dresses: Songs of the Queen of
Country Music’ is an important one to
her. “When I fi rst started to play guitar I
found that some of Kitty Wells’ tunes
were simple enough to play so that I
could accompany myself. So back then,
I did ‘I Don’t Claim To Be An Angel’ and
‘I Gave My Wedding Dress Away’. This
material was really familiar to me when I
decided to record her songs and do you
know what, there are still enough songs
to record another album! I think it would
be great for another artist to record them.
My friend, Amy Allison and I wrote
the title song of the album, ‘Kitty Wells
Dresses’ as our tribute to Kitty. I think
most people would say this music is
pure, classic Country but there are many,
many listeners who will keep discovering
and re-discovering it just as I did.”
Laura feels strongly about this style
of music. “How Country music comes
out on a commercial level we cannot
control. I loved making this album. The
young guys who backed me do a lot
of work on Lower Street in Nashville.
It gave me joy to see them perform.
You know, as long as people are still
learning to play the traditional it’s not
going to die out.”
THE ALBUM: Laura
CantrellKitty Wells Dresses:
Songs of the Queen of
Country Music
Label: Shoeshine
Records
Unlike the present day,
in the late 1940’s into the ‘50’s Country
music was male dominated. Kitty Wells
signed with Decca in 1952 and recorded
‘It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk
Angels’ an ‘answer’ song to Hank
Thompson’s ‘The Wild Side of Life’.
It caused a sensation with Kitty being
the fi rst female to have a Number One in
the Country charts. Hit followed hit into
the mid ‘60’s setting the scene for the new
ladies such as Tammy Wynette, Loretta
Lynn and Connie Smith. Kitty Wells truly
was the fi rst Queen of Country Music.
It is my belief that Laura Cantrell
deserves an award for keeping the
history of traditional Country music alive
and well.
