This dance is the Improver Version! For the Beginner version (same dance with "easier" moves), please check out ABC BEG.
As always, feel free to embellish with your own variations as well, or do a mixture of the 2 dances.
Thank you Diane for the idea! I'm doing this for all my growing Beginners, so you can go from a BEG to an IMP!
