The speed is the only thing that should make this dance challenging, especially the

turns on counts 13-16 - an easy alternative for this is to simply do 1/4 turn right

and a vine to the right side.

Note that this is not counted 'half time' at 98 BPM - use any slower 2 step song for

teaching or if you need a slower substitute.

Hope you like the dance which was written for workshop in Chinchilla (thought it might

be a bit cool out there so wanted something fast to warm everyone up!!!).

The song is from David Ball's latest CD titled Amigo
