Have fun and keep on line dancing for all the time! Don’t forget to sing or smile!
Note: This dance was choreographed as something like a “local patriotic” dance for different
upcoming line dance parties in Mecklenburg in the north-east of Germany. Everyone else around the
world may also dance it as “Night On Our Side” (like the beautiful song) and I would really appreciate this.
