BC4ME Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Just thought I'd share this pic of Tora competing at the DWDCQ state titles a few months ago. The look on her face is priceless! She's having so much fun :) (photo taken by Paw Snap Pet Photography) What a lovely photo of Tora and you dancing :). It shows the enjoyment that she is having working along side you, thank you so much for sharing Love this photo of the two of you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kallistar Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Next Saturday is the last DWD trial for Victoria. I am not competing this time round, but will be there watching. Just want to wish those of you who have entered all to break a leg (wish you all luck) and remember you have the best dancing partner with you.

kallistar Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 The dwd club of vic's trial was held on Saturday and there was some really awesome routines. Congrats to those who gained passes and to those who missed out, remember you still took your very best dancing partner home with you. I didnt compete this time, but helped out by stewarding. Lets just say I was really tired yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker girl Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 just re-reading the guidelines for both HWTM & FS, I only have noticed the wording, poses as a requirement for novice etc.............what are the recommended poses for both discplines please :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kallistar Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 just re-reading the guidelines for both HWTM & FS, I only have noticed the wording, poses as a requirement for novice etc.............what are the recommended poses for both discplines please :D A pose is what you can start with, eg, dog doing a paw wrap around your leg while you are standing up straight in a pose to start your music off and also one at the end too. Recommend the KISS factor and something that is well done by both of you as well as get you ready for your next movement.. I am sure that some one else will jump in here too and give you more ideas..

Cleo's Corgwyn Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 yep, things like a bow, sit pretty/beg, pony (between your feet), balancing on something, etc. They are a great way to start and finish a routine, and often a good way of catching your breath during a routine. The list of poses from the old guidelines includes; POSES AND OTHER ACTIONS Bow Beg Dead dog Wrap (cane, leg) Cross legs Roll over Hand/foot touch Paw lifts Retrieving a prop Jumping (depending on breed, size, age etc) I've also seen some nice poses with small dogs with the dogs balanced on their human partner; ie jump into their arms, balance on feet,etc. I'd consider anything that looks 'showy' and shows a connection between dog and handler, to be a good pose. I hope that helps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker girl Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 thanks guys it certainly does help...... planning our freestyle novice routine now for Jim and still not sure whether to go on with FS novice with Tasha or to HWTM starters as she s a much better "heeler" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC4ME Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 just re-reading the guidelines for both HWTM & FS, I only have noticed the wording, poses as a requirement for novice etc.............what are the recommended poses for both discplines please :D A "guideline" is a suggestion on how to do, understand or the way in which something is to be interpreted. A "requirement" is something that must be included to pass. Remember you re reading "guidelines". Although "Poses" help give your routines a beginning and an ending or gives them structure it is not a "requirement" It is simple to incorporate poses into your routine and you would be silly not to but remember there is a difference between a guideline and requirement.
