Absolute Beginner
32 count intro; start weight on L
Note to instructors: this dance was written to teach simple rhythm/beat recognition and alternating weight changes. The pattern consists entirely of step, touches in various forms and is consistent throughout the 48 counts. To reinforce the rhythm when dancing, clap on each touch (even counts) until the last set if you use the optional arm/head styling.

A note about the music: Dan Albro wrote and recorded this cool song, AND choreographed an intermediate dance to it.
If you love the music and lyrics as much as I do and want something harder for more experienced students, look up (or resurrect!) Dance Off My Blues.
