Hope you enjoy this easy little waltz. 

I really like the feel of the 1/4 turn sequence at steps 25-36. and can't remember using it

before in a previous dance.  I never know what is going to pop up next when I write a

dance, it all depends on the music I guess and maybe my frame of mind at the time. Makes

me worried when I go back and read some of the dances I have written in the past!

The song is by Mark Chesnutt and he does a good job as usual.

See you on the floor sometime......  Jan
