I guess there have been other dances to this lovely  old song,  but we can't remember any.

The music is smooth and feels nice to dance to, so that's a good  enough  reason to write

another dance I reckon.

Although this is an easy dance , it still has a bit of  a trick to keep you interested.  If you

can't manage turns then  just do the alternative steps which eliminate them.

Hope you enjoy dancing to Al Martino's version of this golden oldie song 'Red Roses For A

Blue Lady'.

See you on the floor sometime……..Jan
