Liz Collett’s latest line Dance – “Last Beatle“.
I choreographed this line dance to a great song called “When The Last Beatles Gone” by Tim Buppert. The song is a moving tribute to the Beatles and how they enriched and changed our lives and the legacy they will leave the world.
I had a great response when I taught the dance to my class in December (see video below) before taking it to Florida USA where I taught it at my workshops at the World Line Dancing Championships in Florida in January. Once again I received fantastic feedback.
Last Beatle is a 2 wall intermediate line dance.

Probably the most well-liked dance styles enjoyed at social functions other than disco or perhaps dancing ballroom by people of all ages may be the line dance in which groups of many people all carry out the same dance routine in unison. They can be carried out with the dancers in a line like a snake, pairs of dancers facing each other, facing the same direction forming a wall or maybe facing one another like in a circle.

Liz Collett's Line Dancing Troup In Beijing
Line Dancing in Beijing was yet another story and another chapter in my life. We fell in love with the people mainly.
We were treated like royalty and shown so much. We climbed the Great Wall, visited the Forbidden City & Tienanmen Square etc. etc. We danced in their Festival in front of the rostrum and in the parade. We also danced 2 x 15minute performances on stage, once in a shopping mall and the other at Olympic Park.
I really didn’t know what to expect [click to continue…]
