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) Da Doo Run Run - The Crystals, 140 BPM, CD: Best Of The Crystals |
| 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. |
