Choreographer's Notes: Beginners must, eventually, dance to fast songs.
The easy choreography here is designed to be accessible to beginners even at
a fast tempo. The last 4 counts present the only minor challenge, so they
could be taught first.
* This dance was originally called Bright Side Of The Road, but this was a
name that was difficult to remember. The name was changed by the
choreographer Dec.1997.
