Here is an email sent to me by my Teacher Jean Yeoh regarding the confirmation of the line dance being included in the Olympic event which we all line dancers are to be proud of:-
A message from Jean Yeoh:
Dear linedance friends,
I just received an article from Beijing, confirming that Line Dance has been included in the Olympic event - lighting the torch in Tian An Meng on 6.8.2008 with 500 VIPs from all over the world witnessing the kick off ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. There will be 400 linedancers dancing 'We are ready' and ' Forever Friends' , which we choreographed last August. Mr. Yang told me in June when I was in Beijing planning this event with the committee that another Olympic theme song may also be included.
"It is a great news we linedancers can be proud of - Line Dance :an Olympic display item depicting most popular sports in China, with Taijiquan, wushu and lion dance lining behind!" said the news attached in the file.
Well, this is one added publicity for our 2008 PISA event as at least 4 lead dancers have booked their air tickets to come join our 2008PILDC!
Cheers! Jean Yeoh

Article From Beijing
"Good dancers don't make it look easy - they make it easy; ease in movement and postural alignment is an underlying factor in the development of good dance practise and a long lived practical enjoyment of dancing"
