Noelle Dance July 31, 2013

Taught this tonight and people picked it up very quickly. I prefer it to the song Darlene you recommended. Catchy tune that stays in your head for hours! Great beginner dance. I like the diagonal orientation and the rotating back to the right wall. Clever. I'll teach it at the country bar this weekend. Thanks for sharing!

Sir Dancelot July 31, 2013
