Description: 32-count, 4-wall line dance rotating counterclockwise, beginner level
Music:
Alternate:
Bright Side Of The Road - Van Morrison, 180 BPM, CD: Michael (Soundtrack) Real Audio sound sample or Best Of Van Morrison
Da Doo Run Run - The Crystals, 140 BPM, CD: Best Of The Crystals Real Audio sound sample or 70 Ounces of Gold: Solid Gold
Notes: Beginners must, eventually, dance to fast songs.
The easy choreography here is designed to be accessible to most beginners even at a fast tempo.
The tempo should not be scaled down too much, no slower than 140.
I teach the last 8 count first since it is the only part that may present a challenge.
