We love to dance this to DANCE by Twister Alley!

Pismo June 9, 2018

LOL--I learned this to the Twister Alley song and never knew there were others on the step sheet! Our version ends on the heel stand at the front, whee!

Wow I remember doing this dance in 1996!!

Norm August 2, 2021

I believe that it was choreographed in 1995. I retyped the original step sheet and it is dated Nov. 26, 1995, so I know that it was choreographed by Jo Thompson before that.

If we don't know the date choreographed then we use the date we added the stepsheet to CopperKnob. I've now changed this to Nov 1995. Thanks.

Still dancing DANCE RANCH ROMP almost every Friday at Dusty Armadillo. Guess that makes it one of our favorites!!

I found a step sheet with a quote from Jo Thompson Szymanski at the bottom that reads "2004 marks the10th Anniversary of this dance. I choreographed it for Country Music Television and taught it during their dance contest tour. It was one of my first dances to be done worldwide."
