Line dance innovator steps up

CARRIE ANN GREEN of Arboleas, Almeria, is well known locally as a choreographer and leader of the ‘Dusty Boots’ exhibition line dance group.

What isn’t necessarily known is that Carrie also writes line dances, and has had several attain positions in the Line Dancer International Magazine’s popularity charts.

However this is about to change, as one has been nominated at the 19^th Annual Crystal Boots Awards, to be held at the Norbrek Castle Hotel in Blackpool.

The dance is to Rod Stewart’s ‘So Proud’ and dedicated to her parents. On its release the dance soared up the Line Dancer charts to a top ten position.

The Crystal Boots Awards are promoted to encourage the introduction of new line dances and to expand the boundaries of line dancing in general. Carrie’s dance will be competing in the ‘Improver’ category.

Voting has now closed, but the final results remain a closely kept secret, until the awards night on January 31.

This is the first time a person from Spain has been selected for any Crystal Boots Awards, but this year two people from Spain have been nominated. The other is Julie Lockton of Benidorm.
