Start over
 
Note: I was inspired to choreograph this line dance after finding out that Steve Ripley, the lead singer, and two other band members had passed away.
As a ballroom dancer, our resident ballroom DJ Phil Noland introduced me to this song.
He would d play it every night he saw I had made my way into the Ballroom.
AND, a BIG thank you to Denna Yockey whose tireless inspiration, motivation, enthusiasm, encouraging ways and know-how got this project to happen.
