Choreographer's Notes: Beginners must, eventually, dance to fast songs. 
The easy choreography here is designed to be accessible to beginners 
even at a fast tempo. The last 4 counts present the only minor challenge, 
so they could be taught first.
* This dance was originally called Bright Side Of The Road, but this was 
a name that was difficult to remember. The name was changed by the 
choreographer Dec.1997.
