Please note: The video created by the two ladies dressed in black trousers and jackets have increased the tempo of the song, it is not that fast, it is only 124bpm. This was due to a technical hitch at their end, so if you are thinking of teaching the dance and purchasing the song the song you buy will be at the right tempo.

Can I just check - after the bridge on wall 3, does this dance change its 2 walls from 12:00 and 6:00 to 9:00 and 3:00? Just checking I have that right!

EstherA September 23, 2023
OK no I see now, it doesn't restart at the bridge!

Very confusing as the video of the ladies all dressed in blue and white appear to be doing a different dance!!!!!!!!

Annie L October 9, 2023
Dance taught by Alan birchall and Jacqui Jax at Kingshill Weekend at St Anne's. It's a really good dance to a great track. Don't know which dance the ladies in blue and white are doing but it's not this one😳

Mislabelled video has been removed. Thanks to those dancers who let us know about the mishap. Thanks to all those who are teaching and enjoying the dance. Much appreciated.
