Being asked by Rick Tippe to choreograph a dance to this, his new song, has been a pleasure - this dude knows        how to phrase a song!!! Thanks Rick!!! The dance has a theme of “triples” having most 4 count step/phrases repeating 3 times. This will make for a pretty quick teach. Have fun out there! See music info., on back page.
