Note: I used to do a form of this dance about 20 years ago - called NEVER CAN TELL. I could not recall the choreographer's name nor the complete choreography.

If anyone out there recognizes the parts of NEVER CAN TELL in this dance and knows he choreographer - please contact me - so that I may give credit where credit is due. forty.arroyo@gmail.com
