The following is a compilation of linedance

know of any other awards which are not included below and are
reasonably recent, let me know the results and I'll add 'em
in. Dave Powell.

Unlike
the various Tamworth choreography competitions (see above for results),
the winners of the Crystal Boots Awards are voted
by readers of
the British line dancing magazine, LDUK. As such
the results
reflect
what is actually popular on the dance floors (in this case across the
United
Kingdom), rather than the opinions of a small panel of judges. Of
course,
the Crystal Boots winners were determined by those
who actually
voted, but hey, no system is perfect. *grynne*
Like
any dancer, I rarely agree with 'official' dance of the year
awards. So following are the dances I think should have won - the 10th
annual
"Dancing Dragon Linedance Awards"
(sorry,
no prizes) for my pick of the dances from 2011. These
results are
guaranteed 100% biased. :)
