My Girl

I learnt this dance from the DanceFuntasia'07 in Penang. It was a competition entry which won 2nd place. We all enjoyed this dance very much then and I am sure we can pick it up again easily.

In the video below, you can find me seated in the audience...somewhere. This was the first time I was exposed to "line dance" with freestyle body actions....was I amazed !
