Phrased High Beginner
This unique high beginner dance is a special tribute to one of our beloved and precious dance sisters who gained her wings on January 7, 2020. Cora may have lost her battle (in earthly terms), but she won the war (in Heavenly terms). She’s dancing with Jesus now….. (I’ll join you one day on that glorious dance floor, Cora!!!!) My original choreography is intermediate level, but I wanted to do a dance that ALL of Cora’s dance friends could do in her memory.
