Learnt this dance with Montana Western Dancers back in the 90's. We loved it, then forgot about it so I've done a revival. We miss out the intro, and keep it simple (no complicated scissor kicks for us, LOL) and I have given the Beginners the easier option of Grapevine 1/4 turn instead of 1&1/4. We finish with the Stomps & heel bounces similar to Lonely Drum. The Beginners love it!
