A great dance for AB/Beginners. Thank you for the tutorial, so helpful to students who wish to practice on their own.

This is a great introduction to coaster steps, rhumba boxes and toe struts for beginner! Nice job Janet....Jeanne C.

Pismo May 10, 2019

A one-wall dance needs to be static--end up in place. This keeps moving forward. Easily fixed by changing the rocking chair into two 1/8 turns left--same footwork and easy for beginners.

Jazzbox May 10, 2019

Sounds good to me Pismo. I agree.

Jan C May 11, 2019

Thank you for watching, and for caring enough to leave your comments. I appreciate and consider all feedback, however this dance follows my vision to stay on one wall, for now. In my experience a geographical movement of any kind, even for an experience dancer can be a nightmare. Trying to keep it simple, review and add. Again, thanks so much and please stay in touch. God bless.

Jazzbox May 11, 2019

Point well made Jan C. I plan to use your dance in my line dance class as you have choreographed it. Thank you.

Jan C May 11, 2019

Thank you Jazz. As Pismo suggested, it is very easy for anyone to make this a Beginner dance with just a wall change. Have a great evening.

Mahalo (Thank you in Hawaiian) Jan C. for this doable one wall AB dance, great song choice too. Our Beginners would love it.

Thank you Jazzbox. You may want to check out my new post on YouTube...AB Harper Valley, just posted tonight. Step sheet has been emailed to Copperknob, hopefully will post tomorrow. All dances will contain the same type of tutorial/demo. I know as a new dancer I looked for ways to be able to help myself, Copperknob was my go to place. Again thanks, glad to have you on board.
