We'll be entered in both Novice styles for the Sydney comp in March Ohhh good luck what routine are you doing?? Here is a link to the article that got put in the Toowoomba Chronicle. They have misinterpreted several things Sharon has said but it's still good PR for DWD, and I love the photo of me and Chook :D My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsD Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I know I've already congratulated you on Facebook BC4ME, but another huge congrats to you & all the others who qualified on the weekend .

stonecutter Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I've been thinking of using Elvis' Viva Las Vegas for a routine - and I have a 'showgirl' style costume that would show my tummy and quite a bit of leg - do people think this would be allowed within the rules? It's not vulgar but I'm not sure if it would offend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumabaar Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think I'm going to bite the bullet and enter the 31 March trial to force us into training :laugh: We'll be doing a 1 min 10 sec freestyle routine, not sure if I feel comfortable doing HTM just yet - though today's workshop was very useful. Just need to get a consistent bow going, but I think we can do everything else in the choreography I have in my head :laugh: I'll try and get a video up for everyone to critique :) When do entries open?? I think I will jump in for both depending on how Abby picks up a third position for HTM. Now for music I have been looking alllllll week and still nothing!

Got to love the Village People for their songs :) so catchy and easy to work routines to. Can I ask which piece of music you are going to do from Aladdin?

Now for music I have been looking alllllll week and still nothing! Jumabarr, have you checked out that music database I posted earlier? I find that really good for inspiration, I usually start out at a BPM that I know is a comfortable pace for my dog, and check out the tunes a beat or two either side, and just make a list of everything that appeals to me. Then I narrow the list down to a few songs I really like, and video my dog and I playing around to the music. I then try and choose the music my dogs looks best with. Kallistar, it's a piece called "Call Me A Princess" I really wanted to use "Don't Tell Mama" from Cabaret, but I think I'll save it for when I'm really certain that I can make best use of all the great pace changes!

I've had a look at a few Audacity sites & I don't know which one to use. I have windows 7 & apparently need beta, but how do I go from there?

kallistar Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Ok need some advice.. John Farnham's You're the Voice has the line - looking down the barrel of a gun.. would the judges take offence to that line? Am trying different songs of John's to my routine to. My novice HTM is coming along nicely and Tux is learning some new spins as we will not be doing leg weaves. Learning to handle our prop( flowers) has been interesting cause if I don't change hands with them it throws Tux out for his heeling positions.
