Adeline Cheng sent me a lovely tango Cantonese song by Fred Cheng entitled No More Tears. I fell in love with it the first moment I heard it. What’s best was when we phrased out the music, it’s 32 counts with no tags and no restarts. What a blessing to find this song!

We quickly put together some steps to fit the rhythm and came up with a 32 count 4 wall low intermediate line dance, just in time for ONlive Dance At Home which Rebecca Lee put together on 25-26 Apr 2020, a paid virtual event for line dancers to learn new choreography. The dance was very well received and immediately after the workshop, Penny Tan has done a video demo of it! She was faster than lightning when our stepsheet was not even uploaded yet.

And here’s some background about Adeline and I. We became closer during the Malaysian Movement Control Order as we are organising daily line dance jammings on FB Live since 18 March, something we have been doing for our Line Dance community worldwide who are also confined at home due to the global pandemic. The jammings proved to be very successful with dancers looking forward to our jammings every night, where Adeline and I took turns to lead some 7-10 line dances and where line dancers could gather virtually, dance together and chit chat on cyberspace. This eventually led us to be on Streamline and Retro-line together with the other international choreographers and instructors sharing new and old dances. So looks like this is our new normal for now.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank those who have generously donated to Line Dance Foundation. The charitable organisation is working at it’s max now helping out the many line dance professionals in sustaining their livelihood, without classes/events/income during the pandemic. So funds are fast depleting. If you have yet to donate and would like to contribute to our line dance family, please contact your local LDF ambassadors.

So stay healthy, dance at home, because our muscles are wasting away with less movement being confined to homes. We can also revise our dances, learn news and old ones, as this is the best time. When we’re dancing and socialising (although virtually), we are generating our happy juice, and not be depressed by the bad news of pandemic. Hope to see and dance with you in the very near future. Fingers crossed the virus will be eliminated totally very very soon!
