An easy (I think !) little beginner dance that I choreographed especially to teach

to a mixed crowd of dancers and non dancers at an upcoming workshop in Singapore in

September 2003. I can still remember learning my first line dance Elvira, in a bar

in San Francisco and feeling extremely pleased with myself after doing so, and I

guess all I can hope is that this dance may give someone else that same feeling.
