HEY HO TORNADO

CHOREOGRAPHER: Trent & Mary Cummings (October, 2002)
COUNT: 32
TYPE: Partner Circle Dance
LEVEL: Beginner/Intermediate
MUSIC: Two In One by Mama Afrika-116 bpm

Position: Indian Position (man behind the lady), both facing Outside Line Of Dance

Special Note:
8 days before this dance was premiered at the Marshfield, Wisconsin Workshop, our
house was hit by a tornado (and only 2 weeks prior to that, Mary had surgery). We
are okay, but had to totally vacate, pack and move all of our belongings...and get
ready for a workshop. In the aftermath, we still found the time and were inspired
to choreograph this dance. We dedicate this dance to all of our wonderful dancing
friends who helped us through this tough time.
