Welllllllllllll... not so much a 'new' dance as this was originally Choreographed in Summer 2006....but its the very first video of the dance.
There are other dances which use later recordings by other singers - even a faster remix - but this is truly THE original song... and original dance.
If you find you like the dance - but have a problem obtaining the music - then contact me via email. The same applies if you require a Word.Doc copy of the dance sheet. Fairy Tale
