What a breath of fresh air this little dance is Everyone here in Talsarnau Wales (UK) love it Vicxx

Not a "slow pivot" in section 2-it's just unsyncopated.

EllieMae July 28, 2019
Thumbs up all round from my class. I agree with OLDSALTY ..... a breath of fresh air. Great music suggestion from your Dad .... put him on the payroll. Lol

Have always liked this song and the choreography is charming.
The "slow" pivot is merely a regular pivot (2 Cts)---given the turns,syncopation, restart - will teach to advanced beginners/improver group (beginners ie dancers that are just starting out would be overwhelmed).

good little dance . some people dont like the music .but its a bit different

Joey September 23, 2019
I love it and will teach to my class of advanced beginners.
Section with v-step should mention doing forward steps on heels. Either way really cute.
