It is the 5th dance in the series of beginner dances

The song is definitely a golden oldie that everyone

will remember and it’s got a good moral to the story too.

 

Before we judge anyone they say we oughta take a walk in their

Shoes….because things might look a little different then.

 

That may well be the case, but I can assure you that there’s

some shoes that I definitely wouldn’t want to walk in, under

any circumstances ……………..I’ve got more respect for my feet!

 

Hope you beginners get something out of the dance.

See you on the floor sometime………...Jan
