Johnny Be Good

Hi everyone

Are you feeling fit? For the energetic amongst you, the dance has jumps and scoots but don’t run away! There are alternative steps which are not only shown in the video by Fiona but also on the step sheet as an easier option.

It is another one I’ve been asked to write to and this one is to Johnny B Goode by Chuck Berry.

The script is below but you can download a PDF version from our site – also on the site is a demo video which Fiona and I filmed last night so you can take a look!

Best of all, no tags or restarts!

Enjoy!!!

Alan

REPEAT AND ENJOY!

I taught this to one class last week and they all really liked it, so I have since taught it at all the class this week.
It's gone down really well.
Most are bravely going for all the jumps and scoots, but they are very easy to replace if you're not so energetic.
Good One Alan
