You Can Dance demo by Mirandas

This old dance will be our "new" dance on Sat 17 July 2010 and to be repeated the following Mon too. I love this song "Save Last Dance For Me" and if you can recall we did a different (easier) line dance to this song a couple of years ago.

To "hit" this pause in the music, you will dance Set 1 (Rhumba box) and then you will begin to do the back coaster step of Set 2 by stepping back on your Left for count 1 but you will not complete the coaster step.
