[This dance is specially dedicated to Rose Iwanaga from Kuching who was the first recording artiste of Sarawak, Malaysia. The song - recorded in 1967 and a cover of Nat King Cole’s song – is Rose’s “signature song”. I decided to write a dance to it to commemorate our years of dancing and singing together since the mid 1990’s. Luv ya, Rose, and here’s to many more years to come! Enjoy the dance…]
