This dance was created to teach SHUFFLE with a ROCK RECOVER - sideways, forward, and back. As a teaching tool, we start with the slowest song, Blueberry Hill, and progress to the faster song, Pride and Joy. For Halloween, we use an even faster song, The Mummy. Night Before Halloween is another Halloween song used; we use a cut version so there are no tags or restarts for our beginners. See the Demo by DANCE! Picayune.
