David & Mair Honer 17 April -About 3 weeks ago David taught himself, then me "Winners and Losers". I love it. I think it's fantastic. It's "fun" and it flows, and although it's reasonably fast, it's not in the least tiring. It also appears to be quite a floor filler in the C&Ws. Well done.
Evie from B.C. Canada - We are doing your dance "Winners and Losers" at our spring jamboree. What a neat dance and lots of fun.

Reviews on Linedancer Magazine website- Winners & Losers
ANGELA Stokes - 27/09/2012 - taught this on tuesday class really liked the dance fits so well with the music thanks diana for sending me the script
JANE Johnson - 26/09/2012 - I agree with all the above comments & with a great song from the Mavericks it deserves to do well.Sexy & cheeky all in one dance,wow!!!
David Spencer - 26/09/2012 - I taught this at an all day event and although it was the last of 6 dances taught, because it flows well and there are some repeated steps, it was easy for people to remember. You can also have some fun with the sexy paddle turns and cheeky hip bumps! Good upbeat track although I'd prefer it to be a little shorter.
ANGELA Stokes - 25/09/2012 - teaching this tonight but i like the dance and the music so i think class will hope it does well it's a nice change
Phil Marson - 23/09/2012 - Another Great Improver Dance...nice music from the Mavericks!! Gone well in class!!
J Myers - 16/09/2012 - we love the maverics and this great 64 count 4 wall dance is just what i'm looking for my improver classes and as Diana says a great " cheeky" last 8 counts that make us all smile as we sing along and wiggle our hips, >>> fun all the way. thanks Diane my search is over ta dah !!!
