Wild ponies

Wild Ponies by Ami Walker. Bronya performed this dance for us at our Social Party in Oct 2009. A beautifully choreograpged waltz recommended for line dancers who wish to explore "Waltz" in line dance ( RISE & FALL) . Although this dance has 72 counts,(most line dance waltz is only 48 counts)the steps are easy to learn and remember because of the smooth & excellent choreography. Only 2 walls.
I think this will be the most beautiful and the most enjoyable waltz for us to learn so far.
