CHOREOGRAPHERS NOTE:

The dance is a beginner level dance which I wrote  especially for Tamworth 2003. 

I guess a brand new dancer would have trouble with it, but anyone who has had

a few lessons will handle it quite  well.  It teaches rocks, 1/4 turns, the heel grinds

teach balance ... and of course there are the ever popular HIPS BUMPS for you to

have some fun with. 

David Ball is one of my favourite singers because his stuff is always country.

This song espouses my philosopyhy  on life - if you feel down just put on

some music that you like and let it work it's magic... that's  THE CURE

for the blues. Please enjoy both the dance AND the music!

See you on the floor sometime......  Jan
