I don’t know you, Mike, but this is so much more than a “great little dance.” You have brilliantly taken steps that have previously been used in 8-count dances and converted them into a waltz. I have never danced any waltz like this before. I do think that you might consider increasing your level to lower intermediate. My guess is that we are going to see a lot more creativity in 6-count dances from here on out. Bravo!
