I had never heard this song before and found it  by accident  while looking for

something else.  It appealed to me immediately and I hope you like it too.

Although the dance is intermediate level,  I don't think it is too hard for

the average line dancer, so have a go and see what you think.

See you on the floor sometime…. Jan
