When I was in Disneyland last year we discovered a ride called 'Soaring Over California'

and It was just fantastic…. I think we rode it about 20 times!  I have been thinking about

it ever Since and look forward to the day I can return for another bash at it! 

The name of this song/dance reminds me of the ride…. And that all just goes

to prove that you are never too old to enjoy A ride a Disneyland!   


The dance is easy and I hope you find something in it that you like.

See you on the floor sometime...Jan
