At This Moment & Darling Please Stand By Me

Our next dances will be a slow waltz and a simple enjoyable beginner dance to a bachatta music.

This is a good dance to learn some new foot patterns in a Rise & Fall. The choreographer has put in some good body actions that we can follow to make the waltz smooth flowing . Good job by Jennifer Choo
