Dancin' Hearts II

Step Adaptation by Dale & Jackie Parish, Mason MI, jpdp@parishcountry.com
Based on Original Choreography "The Dancin’ Hearts" by Bubs Jewell,
of Caboolture, Queensland, Australia, as printed in Country Weekly Magazine
*Note from PARISH COUNTRY: We like the original Dancin' Hearts but wanted to create smoother flow and little more challenge for our students, hence the title Dancin' Heart II. We hope you enjoy it as much as our Mid-Michigan dancers. Let us know how you like it.
