I was looking for a dance for my beginner class to introduce syncopations using steps

they have already learnt from previous dances.  However, the majority of dances I

found that were syncopated included coasters, sailors (which they haven't quite

mastered yet) and turns which were beyond their current level.  Therefore, when I

heard this song I thought it would be ideal to introduce syncopations with steps they

were comfortable with and something at the end to provide a bit of a challenge!!.
