Well done Shaw! Today we worked on Rita’s Waltz,  and our new teach, Lindi Shuffle,  both of which have different timings and tempos to the other dances. You all did really well and the steps will get easier each week! I did have an England water bottle left behind which I have safe in the boot of my car.

Rocket to the Sun 

Rita’s Waltz (x2)

Lindi Shuffle (New teach x2) 

Mamma Maria

Lindi Shuffle
