Description:  48 count progressive beginner/intermediate couple’s dance

Dance to music for the following choreographed dances:  Catch a Hip Cat (Music:  Eenie Meenie Miney Mo by Holiday Band); Dixie Lullaby (Music: Dixie Lullaby by Clint Black & Bruce Hornsby); Simply Blue or Blue Finger Lou (Music:  Blue Finger Lou by  Anne Murray);  Late Night Swing (Music:  Honey Hush  by Scooter Lee) and any other type of swing that gets you moving.  Try it to Toby Keith's new song, "Who's Your Daddy?"  This is an Attitude Dance and may become quite Stimulating!  Man faces LOD; Lady faces RLOD.  Hold hands near waist level.  We prefer holding only man’s L and lady’s R hands.
