This dance was revised in March 2004 when I wrote the sequel called Jamaica? It is

Intermediate Level and can be done on a split floor with Jamaican Dreams. I added the

8 beat tag so the two dances would be more alike.... and it's not hard so please

forgive me...... please...pretty please - gees I'm a crawler!

See you on the floor sometime.... Jan
