I’ve never had a tiger by the tail …. Well, not literally anyhow.

But I am familiar with the feeling of holding onto something that is pulling me forward faster then I really want to go and being too scared to let go in case it turns around and bites me. I guess that’s what it feels like to have a tiger by the tail…......my line dance career has been a bit like that at times

This dance is easy but it’s not for new beginners. It feels a bit familiar to me at the end and I think it is Pick A Pocket that it’s reminding me of….

Do you remember the bit where we used to run fwd and be silly?

Hope you can still remember how to skip - it’s been a long time!

See you on the floor sometime…. Jan
