NOTE: I know that this looks really complicated and very, very difficult,
but it is deceiving on paper. The dance fits the words to the song
perfectly, as do most Thaddeus J. choreographed dances. The dance
motions will fit the words said. Questions can be directed to Thad by
leaving a telephone message for him at either 860-872-7435 or 860-0870.
