Friends are the most important part of your life. Treasure the tears, Treasure the laughter, but most importantly, Treasure the memories.

God knows how many friends we have made during our dance journey. I remember migrating to the big city KL in 2004 all alone. After work it was just back to my rented room and for the first few weeks, I was getting depressed already. Of course I have my friends from school and university and work but they have their routines and different interests. Until I found a line dance group, and the new friendships started multiplying. From new classes, and events that we go to, and with internet, new friendships were formed via instant messaging system, email and then social media. Line dance friends are different from other friends, because we have the same interests. And many have of these friendships has lasted since, and upgraded to BFF as well 🙂

Now back to the dance, Adeline invited me to collaborate with her on this as it’s one of her favourite song. The phrasing of the song was quite tricky though so we tried our best to phrase it out as simply as possible for dancers to dance and enjoy the song at the same time. The song is simply too nice and lyrics very meaningful, about memories reminiscence of friendships. Do check it out if you haven’t done so. The reviews have been great! So we hope you will enjoy it too!

Behind the dance…

Philip got us together on a Whatsapp group to create a dance for his Glitz and Glam event as we confirmed our attendance (roughly 2-3 weeks before his event) so we were throwing in some music suggestions. In the end, we chose the song Runaway by Sebastian Yatra & Daddy Yankee feat Jonas Brothers due to its catchiness. We provided some parts each and so a new dance was born, which we thought is FUN and FITTING to the lyrics. Hope you could feel our choreography too 🙂 Can anyone guess which part was choreographed by whom? 😀

About the song & phrasing…

The song is a mix of English and Spanish lyrics. It’s catchy and the song gets into your head. Part A is the verse while Part B is the chorus (runa-runa-runa-runa-runa-runaway). You will be able to know which part to dance from the song. Just in case you can’t, just remember these for the phrasing: AA-BB-AAAA-B-AAA-B-AA

  1. 2-4-3-2 as the number of A’s in sequence
  2. B’s always starts on 12:00 except the 2nd B which starts at 6:00.

For the ending, just run another 1/2R (4 counts) instead of the press slides to end on 12:00.

Videos of the dance

We taught the dance during Glitz and Glam 2019 but completely forgotten to video the dance teach/demo. So we did a little mock-up after the party. Here it is:
