CHOREOGRAPHERS NOTE:
I like this simple little dance. The song is good, the words are relevant to life
and best of all, the music is phrased so we didn't need any tags or restarts!!!
We all have to go through ups and downs in this life.... what makes the difference is how
we cope with it all . The 'ups' are easily handled, but- the 'downs' can be a problem. When
it all gets on top of me I just switch off and listen to some good old fashioned country
music - and it works for me every time. If you haven't worked out your own formula yet
then try mine , you never know, it might work for you too. Oh, and I hope you like the dance as well.
See you on the floor sometime..... Jan
