Line Dance Connection:	How did you get involved in dancing?
Catrina Daniel:	I saw a flyer for a class at my local community center and called the instructor MJ Hollins to clue me in on what soul line dancing was all about. She is originally from Detroit, so she knew how to get down with the get down. She encouraged me to attend. I went, fell in love and here I am 8 years later- still in LOVE!
Line Dance Connection:	After you attended your very first class, how did you feel?
Catrina Daniel:	I felt “flickted” I thought I could not dance a lick! (that's country talk y'all) I looked at line dancing as a math problem I had to solve. I kept going and learning more and more steps. I went to every class and did not want to ever stop dancing. I finally mastered a few dances and thought I was the stuff! Watch out for the big girl! LOL!
Line Dance Connection:	How did you get into choreography?
Catrina Daniel:	I started choreographing because I fell in love with a song. I visualized steps in my head when I heard that song. I just had to create a dance after I made sure Bern did not have one to the song. LOL!
Line Dance Connection:	How many dances have you created and what was the very first dance you created?
Catrina Daniel:	I have choreographed 3 dances. Too Easy, TVF Groove (gospel line dance) and Rockies 's Theme. The first one I created is "Too Easy” the song is I’ll be Around by the Spinners .The name of the dance is in honor of my first online dance mentor Kenny J.
Line Dance Connection:	Of all your dances which one would you say is your favorite?
Catrina Daniel:	My favorite of the 3 is “Too Easy”. My first baby. It embodies the sentiment of how I try to treat people and how I have been treated in the line dance community. I have received a lot of love and support and I hope I am giving back as much as I'm receiving. Whenever you need me, I’ll be there! I’ll be around! I really try to do that. John Woodhouse says,“ Too Easy” is the hardest easy dance there is. LOL!
Line Dance Connection:	In your own words, what makes dancing special?
Catrina Daniel:	The people make dancing special for me. We come from all walks of life, from all over the country and some from other parts of the world. We are brought together by our love of line dancing. We may be different, but we dance the same steps in unison. It’s a beautiful thing. There's nothing like it.
Line Dance Connection:	If you could change one thing about dancing, what would it be?
Catrina Daniel:	I would change the negative things we say and do to one another. I have been guilty too! (past tense) I’m calling myself out! LOL! Like momma said, “If you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all” Do unto other as you would have them do unto you. I can preach that thang! LOL! Live, Love, Laugh, Learn Line Dance Y’all!
Line Dance Connection:	Tell me one thing about yourself that the dance community would find surprising.
Catrina Daniel:	I have to name two, sorry. I have 2 handsome sons Julian age 22 and Jayden age 21. I am an expert swimmer and can teach anyone to swim.
