I choreographed this to the Rednex version - starting on measure 9, count 33. Evidently it is copyrighted, so I found this music worked for
youtube - there are many to choose from and I am sure you will find a favorite.
**Easily made into a 2 or 4 wall dance with the paddle turn at end - just adjust your amount of turn.

Choreographed in memory of 'Linda' and to "The Tuesday Morning Ladies"
A group of us - between 64 and 77 years old - 'danced our way' every week through covid: Ann, Edith, Jonnie (the
choreographer), Marlene, Melida, Nimmi & Stacy. At 72 years old, this is the first one I have put in written form and plan to
put it on 'you-tube' to 'see and follow' (or, at least try, as I have never done this before). If it works, I will add a lovely waltz.
ENJOY, HAVE FUN, KEEP DANCING!
