Notes
Notes
1
Line up improper and circle 3 places to the RIGHT, then trade with your partner. In Glen Becket the MAN is always right!
2
Texas twirl - not some liberal twirl like California, but a God-fearing Texas twirl! After the pass through while still facing out, give right hands to your partner & twirl to swap)
3
Written for the Chance Dance Weekend in in Cape Giradeau where the dancing takes place is the Rush Limbaugh Room at the American Legion Hall
