This is such a pretty song, well, I think it is anyway. It's really relaxing and nice to dance

to.  I guess we all  have a 'Cheyenne' that we go back to in our thoughts sometimes. Bet YOU do!  Go on, own  up! 

While the dance isn't hard, it's certainly not a beginner's dance  but with the turns taken

out of it the majority of people should be  able to manage it.. 

Hope you enjoy it however you do it.

See you on the floor sometime....  Jan
