This dance is dedicated to 'my guy', David Ells. Thanks for not being 'one of the guys' Mindy McCready sings about, and also for the great dance title!
To really make this dance have an attitude, start in a natural standing position with both feet just a few inches apart and knees bent slightly. Place hands with thumbs in front belt loops, or behind belt buckle. Begin with the 4 count introduction.
