Just Seventeen

Just Seventeen. The song is " I saw her Standing There" by the Beatles. The Choreography is by the very popular fun couple Doug & Jackie Miranda (USA)who are professional line dancers and entertainers who have travelled to many countries to conduct line dance workshops. They were the MCs and Instructors for Dance Funtasia '07 which I attended. Have I shown you my photograph with them?

Two EASY RESTARTS: To fit the phrasing of the music, there will be two restarts: After dancing the 64 count pattern 2X (you will have completed 2 walls and be starting the dance for the 3rd time to the back/ 6 o’clock wall); dance only 40 counts of the dance (up to counts 1-4 only of set 5) and then restart at the 3 o’clock wall after the twist to the R. Then dance the 64 count pattern again 2X and dance only 40 counts of the dance and restart at the back/ 6 o’clock wall.
