Learn How to Line Dance DVD's

There is no substitute for going to line dance lessons but, for many reasons, it may not be the most suitable option, and the next best option is to learn from a line dance DVD.

In this post I am going to suggest some things to look for / look out for and some recommendations for purchasing a line dance DVD.

Why Learn To Line Dance In The First Place.

Any or all of these may be reasons to take up line dancing as a hobby/sport/interest.

  • It’s FUN
  • It is great exercise
  • You will meet other like-minded people
  • Lose weight
  • If you just love to dance
  • You don’t need a partner
  • And many more…

Reasons you May Want to Learn From a DVD

  • Lack confidence to go to a line dance class.
  • The local class has already started and you need help to catch up.
  • No classes nearby.
  • Local classes aren’t compatible with your schedule.
  • Having trouble keeping up with your line dance class.
  • Don’t have time or transport to get to class
  • etc

What to Look for In a Line Dance DVD.

As you will discover there are quite a few options to learn to bootscoot, so my best advice is to check them out carefully and if there is not much information, well, there just may be a reason for that! Follow the hints below and you should be good.

  • An instructor who speaks clearly.
  • Instructions that are comprehensive but simple to follow.
  • Gives you enough information to be confident to purchase from them.
  • Been around for a while – not a fly by night.
  • Good customer service – shoot them an email with a question and see how readily they supply the answer.
  • See if there is some genuine social proof about them – testimonials etc.
  • A sample of how they teach in a video.

What to Avoid

Here are some tips on what to avoid when looking for DVDs:

  • Sales hype (it is probably just that)
  • Instructor facing YOU while teaching (I can’t tell you how many videos show the teacher facing YOU. What this means is every time he/she moves his/her right foot (for example) you have to move your left (opposite) foot. How confusing!
  • Too much “Hollywood”. – Yes they may have the latest technology, flashy gimmicks, show you moves from different angles and picture in picture but it may not help you to learn. Keep it SIMPLE.
  • Beware of Cheap DVDs on eBay. Yes they are great price but there is usually very little, if any, product information, such as how many dances, who the instructor is etc. In my experience there is a reason they are cheap, and unfortunately the experience may even turn you off learning to line Dance.

Where to find Line Dance DVDs

  • The best way is to do a Google search on the internet.
    You will soon find there aren’t many available and even less good ones.
  • You can look on eBay (Beware – see last section “What to Avoid”)
  • Amazon has quite a few DVDs

The Best DVDs on the Market – (But I am Biased)

If you go to the right, they will teach you to dance, to the left, you will explore the world...

From July 3 to July 6, the territory of the educational and health camp of the Volgograd Social and Pedagogical University "Marathon", which is located in the Sredneakhtubinsky district of the region, was filled with active, creative, cheerful, responsible, purposeful and intellectually developed young people. Some of them formed the "Dance Village", others came to the "School of a young researcher-2013". Naturally, photojournalist Viktor Yashukov and I wanted to talk to them. We invite you to join us!

Where hip-hop coexisted with break, and Afrojazz coexisted with Cossack dance

“Each element of the dance means the action of the god Shiva,” Oksana Vishnevetskaya, head of the Shining Star Indian dance studio, enthusiastically told her students and even casual viewers. - We show by actions how Shiva opened his eyes after meditation, his energy woke up, he took the Ganges River on his hair. We also learn from the dance that he is a warrior, he kills enemies with a trident, but at the same time he is very gentle towards his wife Pavoti ... In general, the Indian temple dance is an amazing mosaic in which the foundations of Indian philosophy, religious studies and even stories. By the way, this statement is true for any dance, because in its process there is an attachment to new knowledge and experiences at the level of the body! There is even a saying: “If you want to know the people, dance with them!” So dance! By the way, the project "Dance Village" from the Volgograd Social and Pedagogical University is a huge contribution to the popularization of various areas of dance among young people. Arriving at the "Dance Village", we were able to show ourselves, to look at others, and most importantly, to get great pleasure from everything. It's a pity that we're already parting tomorrow...

According to the organizers of the Dance Village, such a project was held for students for the first time: dancers, choreographers and ballet masters gave master classes in seven dance styles: Arabic dance, Indian temple dance, break dance, hip-hop, male trick dance and combat Cossack.

The “parents” of such an original project were Lyudmila Dolgopolova, head of the department of choreography at VGSPU, Elena Zudina, vice-rector for youth policy of the university, and Larisa Storozhenko, director of the VGSPU culture and leisure center.

“The project turned out to be a useful pedagogical find in many respects,” Lyudmila Alexandrovna shared with the newspaper “Gorodskie Vesti”. – For the first time, all of us, choreographers of our university, choreographers and students who study with us and dance either professionally or amateurly, have united within one time period on one large dance floor. There was an exchange of experience: the guys dancing, for example, the Indian temple dance, learned to dance hip-hop, the break dancers - Afrojazz, and the boys dancing the male trick dance, risked mastering the Cossack combat.

— Lyudmila Aleksandrovna, what is the most important result of this experiment?

— The students who participated in the "Dance Village" found out for themselves that not only each of them is worth something, but their colleagues in another dance direction are also great masters. It turned out that everyone has something to learn from the other. And, for example, it is no easier to dance an Arabic dance with dignity than a combat Cossack or trick dance. This must be learned, and any heartfelt work gives rise to respect. Therefore, a very inspiring and cozy atmosphere formed in our “Dance Village”: there was no evil competition, just active, deep and creative work was going on. From here, many friendships, new interests and ideas appeared ...

— And what did the teachers find out for themselves after living in the Dance Village?

— For all of us, choreographers and choreographers of VGSPU, the project has become an occasion to unite and work in one team. And if we take into account that two ballet masters from VGIiK were involved in the “Dance Village”, which, we are sure, their other colleagues will also follow, then we have every reason to unite a huge number of dance masters of various directions around our university. Can you imagine what scale projects can be done then, how much new to learn and how many interesting things to share?!

— Lyudmila Aleksandrovna, if we return to plans for the near future, then…

— Since the project of the department of choreography of the VGSPU “Dance Village” was approved by the rector of our university, Professor N.K. Sergeev, who came here, to the training camp, then we will definitely hold it next year. There are already applications for new master classes: the guys want to learn tap dance, Irish dance, flamenco, salsa and mamba.

— This year, 60 students from your university took part in the Dance Village project. And if future doctors, lawyers or journalists expressed their desire to learn to dance, then . ..?

- Welcome! Moreover, already this year we began to involve high school students in our project, who are engaged in dance groups in the Volgograd region. So far, only the Kalachians have responded. But this is only the beginning!

- Today will end in the "Dance Village" with a huge dance flash mob, in 20 minutes of which all 60 participants will concisely, brightly and in an original way give out the luggage received here to the audience. And it will be an extravaganza of emotions and skill! And what will they be able to brag about to their relatives and friends after leaving the Dance Village?

- Certificates. And each of our residents takes with them a DVD disc with cuts from master classes, where the most lively, original moments are captured.

Listen to a science story and... write your own!

The "School of a Young Researcher" project, which, by the way, is being carried out by the university for the 12th time, attracted almost fifty VGSPU students who are interested in scientific work to the Marathon camp site. Tutors, graduate students of VGSPU and teachers involved in scientific activities worked to their fullest to help them.

Thus, the most active participation in the "SHMI-2013" was taken by: Head of the Department of Pedagogy for Research Professor S. V. Kulikova, Professor I. V. Vlasyuk, Associate Professor E. E. Chudina, Associate Professor V. K. Pichugina, Associate Professor V G. Malakhova, professor, candidate of psychological sciences N. Yu. Chizho.

— The guys got three topics to study, work on which will later help them in their profession: “Problems related to the support and implementation of gifted children”, “How to organize a student portfolio” and “How to build a mechanism for self-education”, - said the newspaper "Gorodskie vesti" Victoria Malakhova. The guys chose different forms of presenting their research: there was a traditional scientific research, as well as a scientific presentation and even a fairy tale. Moreover, children worked in different age groups.

— Victoria Grigorievna, in your opinion, what is the most important result for the guys who came to ShMI-2013?

- There are several of them. Firstly, they learned to interact in new conditions and a new team, which develops flexibility and purposefulness. Secondly, communication with teachers in an informal setting inspired and inspired many. Thirdly, when a lot of people who are passionate about science gather, many new ideas and worthy solutions are born. And our "SHMI-2013" once again confirmed this!

— New tasks that will now be set by the participants of "SHMI-2014"?

— In order not only to maintain interest in science, but also to solve new urgent problems of our society with the help of students, postgraduates and teachers in the way that is inherent in young people: in an original, dignified and economical way!

As we have learned, the traditional summer psychological school, the Student Marathon shift, the Resurs research school for defectologists and the Summer Akhtuba Readings are ahead in the Marathon educational and health camp. An exciting summer continues!

The idea of ​​organizing a small network storage at home came to me for a long time. For what? First of all, for photos, and a few more files that I would not like to lose. Well, since such a dance has gone, then the organization of a human media library.

I looked at the models of famous brands, such as Synology and QNAP Delhi, I even almost took the QNAP TS-469 Pro, but the toad did its job.

I began to surf the Internet in search of publications with options for building storages with my own pens, it was interesting and then it seemed to me that it was cheaper Comments 153

Testing IT systems *Development of mobile applications *Development of communication systems * eventually made it. Let me share with you how it was. It began with the fact that two years ago we completely switched to IP-PBX and almost exhausted analog phones, including, as a result, DECT. However, portable handsets are needed and in addition to desktop SIP phones, we bought several Wi-Fi phones from Tecom. I myself, as the person responsible for the technical part in the company, constantly walk around the office with various Wi-Fi devices, and managers too. Many people have the mentioned Wi-Fi SIP phones in their hands, + the warehouse has a couple of Wi-Fi terminals, they just have Androids and Apples with installed SIP clients from the PBX. Previously, everything was decided by several Wi-Fi routers, in principle, it was also acceptable (the office is small), but exactly as long as you are sitting still - go, that's it, the conversation is over, and the Skype connection flies even faster. This became pretty annoying for the management and managers, and there were attacks that wi-fi was not wi-fi. Attempts to simply increase the number of routers clearly did not solve the problem.

I began to read and still read that everything had long been invented before us. There are Wi-Fi points that can make a client transition between themselves without breaking or almost without breaking the connection. Moreover, there is a lot of such equipment on the market, it remains only to choose according to the budget and adequacy. It turned out that there are a lot of publications on this topic on the foreign Internet, we have fewer. The huge disadvantage of these systems is that they all want a controller that stands like a cast-iron bridge, and some especially greedy ones also require licenses to connect each point. I brought the estimate to our office on one such respected equipment, the general's eyes widened and the answer was visible on his face even before he had finished reading this calculation.

In general, as the task was studied, sports interest woke up - is it possible to make a smooth WiFi coverage (just like on the forums) for real money and so without these controllers? It turned out it was possible.

Every day you have to solve dozens, if not hundreds of tasks related to maintaining the health of servers, network infrastructure, a fleet of user computers, all kinds of equipment and electronics. Not to mention all sorts of simpler tasks like setting up software and maintaining office equipment. There is a lot of routine in our work, and we wanted to bring a little variety and fun to the workflow.

The educational process in IT

Today, when information has become more accessible than ever and getting new knowledge is easier than ever, we have another problem: how to focus and structure new knowledge if there are no external restrictions like an exam or the need to prepare for a lesson?
And again, developers and the Internet save us, where there are more and more open universities, online courses, lectures and services for organizing your own learning.
I decided to collect in one place links to distance learning resources and other useful services in English and Russian, most of which are free. There was no goal to cover everything, but if you think that something needs to be added to the list - please write in the comments.

What will every user always notice? That's right, no internet. But how? "Vkontakte" is not loaded - it means that there is no Internet. But it happens that the director or the brave heroes from the information security department want to ban something, collect something, control it somewhere. And then the administrator starts dancing around the gateway to the Internet. If there is a lot of money in the company, then the dances can be long and with gallant gentlemen (Mar Checkpoint, Mr. PaloAlto, Mr. SonicWall). But what to do if there is only money for hardware, they want a lot of functionality, but you need to do it quickly? Run .

Each letter was tested on the most popular email clients: Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Android, iOS, Mozilla Thunderbird, Microsoft Outlook, The Bat.
