Line Dance Connection: |
How did you get involved in
dancing? |
Brandon Worrell: |
My mother talked me into going to a class
because of Garry's high energy and shenanigans; I chilled in the back the
whole class in my own little corner. After beginners Donna Burns and Tammy
Parker convinced me to stay for advanced and I've been hooked ever since. |

Line Dance Connection: |
What do you like most about line
dancing? |
Brandon Worrell: |
I loved to see all the different styles
everyone dances with, its amazing how one dance can
be interpreted so many different ways on one dance floor but it all comes
together. I also love the diversity there are no restrictions, we all get it
in, the dance floor doesn't discriminate. |

Line Dance Connection: |
If you could change one thing
about dancing, what would it be? |
Brandon Worrell: |
I would stop all the
line dance politics and closed mind people from turning their nose up at
innovative moves and/or dances. It makes no sense for there to be any kind of
hate or whatever you want to call it among fellow dancers, especially within
the same state/city/county. We're all here to do the same thing; negativity
only opens the door for drama and all the luggage
that comes with it. Change is constant and line dancing is no exception
especially when it comes to choreography, keep an open mind and a receptive
attitude because creativity has no boundaries except the ones you set for
yourself. |

Line Dance Connection: |
Tell me one thing about yourself
that the dance community would find surprising. |
Brandon Worrell: |
Ummmmmmm......I got nothing, sorry guys. LOL |

Is there a funny dance story you'd
like to share in 3 sentences or less? |
Brandon Worrell: |
The first time I met
one of my line dance idols, Ziggie, at a TCH event
about halfway through we both sat down and pulled
out our identical inhalers and took two puffs, looked at each other and fell
out laughing. |
