Parish Country - Jackie & Dale Parish's Mid Michigan Dance Information, Instructor Links, Dance Step Sheets and cyberhome of the Michigan Dance Fun Weekend

(step sheet correction done 09.30.1999. It was just brought to my attention by some former students, that I had not posted the correct step sheet of 56 counts that we had shared with them several years ago but had posted a 36 count (incomplete) file.
My apologies for any confusion this may have caused. - J Parish)
