Hi everyone
When we recently went to Dusseldorf to do a workshop, Patricia who invited us is married to Frank who is a big rock/country fan - so much so, his biggest influence is Big Country. He made the vital mistake of saying that he would learn to dance (he is a non dancer at present) if a dance was written to a Big Country track, so the gauntlet was thrown down and hence the result is this beginner/improver dance Alan has written! There is one more track he has been asked to write to from the same album so hopefully this one will be done soon!
Here's the script, it's on our site in PDF form and has been sent to LD. We hope to video the dance tonight (if Alan doesn't go wrong too many times - lol!!!) Hope you will give it a try at your beginner classes!
