CHOREOGRAPHERS NOTE:

This is the first in the series of Abba dances that I wrote to celebrate the

Australian stage show Mamma Mia which opened in June 2001. I hope you find

something that you like in at least one of the  dances and enjoy listening to

the old classic songs which are now so much a part of our Australian culture. 

See you on the floor sometime....  Jan
