Choreographers Note: This is one of my very first attempts on choreography, which has proven to be popular with my classes. Does anyone else write dances to music only?.

I personally love the music of Billy Vaughn, takes me back to my childhood.

It was designed for my beginner classes, now two years down the track, they still love

to dance to it. Hope you enjoy it, if only for the music which is readily available

from JR hi-fi.
