As I wrote this dance I noticed that on the outside blind of my window,
a gecko lizard was looking in at me. I hope he approved of the dance! (-:

I don’t think this dance is hard, in fact, I almost graded it as easy intermediate….
But not quite! I leave it up to you to decide…..
See you on the floor sometime… Jan
