Another song by a non well known artist so it may be tricky to get hold of - however I

have had this for years and used it in one of my competition teams' music, always

liked the feel of the song as well as the lyrics so I decided to use it anyway for my

Chinchilla workshop.

I think this is an easy little dance with only one turn that could be a challenge to

some - and that can easily be taken out if you wish. The rest of it should not be too

taxing , so I hope you can relax and have fun with it

If you can't get the music try West Coast Swing music about 110 - 120 BPM - something

like Lorrie Morgan's Go Away or Back In Your Arms Again will work fine although they

are a little slower than this song - or perhaps Outta Here by Shania Twain or Shut Up

& Kiss Me by Mary Chapin Carpenter (I've always liked that one!)
