This dance is dedicated to all Afrikaans-speaking line dancers, wherever you may be in the world.
Ricus Nel se liedjie sal jou lekker laat lag!
The dance can be done CONTRA, with two lines facing each other “in the gap”. These will become one line on the walks forward (give your partner on the right a High Five!) and revert to two lines on the walks back (Sec.2). Dancers will pass each other on the step-locks in Sec.4 counts 1-4 (again give a right-handed High Five as you pass!) and change places on counts 5-6. Have fun – enjoy!
