This dance was choreographed originally for my wife. We would both like to dedicate it to the people of America and other countries who lost their lives in New York and Washington on that dreadful day in September 2001. It is 'the only way we know' of expressing our sorrow through the Line Dancing and Music that America gave to this country. And has given so much pleasure to us all.
