I was moved to write this dance after watching all the replays of 9/11.

'Every Second' takes on a whole new meaning after watching something like that.

Collin Raye has such a versatile voice and I can't recall one song of his that I disliked.

The dance is not hard and  the 'hold' steps slow it right down, so go on, get into it! 

Make every second count!      See you on the floor sometime……  Jan
