Although this dance has 64 counts, the steps are not hard and there's no tags or restarts

to think about.  Once you learn the dance you will be able to put your brain in neutral

and let your feet do the work while you  sing along to the music…… there's not many

words to remember in the chorus, so let's practice now…. 

Don't Worry, Be Happy! 

Gees, I think you've got it!  (-:   Enjoy!

See you on the floor sometime….. Jan
