I've tried to make this as manageable as possible for most dancers (with some spin

options for those who like turns) - and only 1 wall!!

There is a marked distinction between the verse & the chorus so it's not hard to pick

Part A & B. To make it even easier, you dance Part B every time you hear "What a

Feeling".  Hope you enjoy!!
