Hi Ira,
I just taught this line dance to both my novice and beginners' class. The last section of lock steps with no break in between is challenging for the novice dancers, otherwise they thoroughly enjoy it without too much effort. You really know how to mix a good song with good dance steps. Thank you for writing such a lovely dance for us to enjoy.
