Step Description Prepared by:

NOTE: This dance is way cool for many of the swing beats that we are
hearing from new groups, such as The Tractors. This boogie provides a
fun alternative to couple dancing. It was choreographed by a good friend,
Sarah Delisle, a fellow instructor, who lives in Tolland, Connecticut,
and her pre-teen children, Amanda & Dan.
