I choreographed an original dance in November of 2022 called "Plenty to be Thankful For". I asked for some help through a Facebook post and Kristin Kingsley was excited to help! Kathy and Kristin are thankful for the opportunity to collaborate and create an updated version for November 2024. There is certainly plenty to be thankful for - friendship through line dancing across the miles. Enjoy and see you on the dance floor!
