This version of 'If I Didn't Have A Dime' is terrific - makes you want to dance .

It's not too hard in spite of the restarts so have a go at it - you might like it..

    I dedicate the dance to Diamonds and Denim from Port MacQuarie  who have made it their club dance and a big thanks to Lyn Mathers from Brisbane for the music - love it!

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