Choreographers Note:This dance was choreographed not only as a birthday present (to myself) but also, for all the dancers, dance instructors, and DJ's who supported my first two dances "You Know I Love You" and "Travel To The Beat". I appreciate all of your support and I hope you enjoy this one as much as the first two.
