The music is from the film 'Ali' based on the boxer. The toe touches represent the skipping movement. When you dance the step touches, he sings 'You're the greatest' wave arms in the air Dance till the music fades, keep dancing till the end when you face home wall raise right arm in the air. "You are the greatest."
I dedicate this dance to my Husband Colin, my sons Michael and Chris who chose the music.
