I have a room available for elderly and teach a few steps, they are reborn and have fun and even though I am unemployed I love watching them have fun. Just learned the choreography and will send you a video. Thank you, Ira is the best of youtube. Sorry for my

I am thrilled that Preston Shannon has contacted YOU! It's an awesome way of promoting Linedancing too!! Just like your Linedance SEDUCED. Greg and I found it so amazing to watch hundreds and hundreds of people dancing it! It is a good promotion for the Artists as well as Linedancers.
