STRICTLY’ Fun Dance

Dancing should be light hearted fun for everyone and that’s certainly made possible with this party dance.

‘Strictly’ Fun Dance, named following the hit BBC show ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ is proving to be very popular with dancers nationwide.

The music, Michael Flatley’s Feet of Flames: Track 6 -Dance Above The Rainbow brings the dance to life, with a steady start building to a real foot tapping finish. (Available on CD priced around £6 and single track down load for as little as £1) - Alternative music is the Scissor Sisters, I don’t feel Like Dancin’

Whatever style of dancing you enjoy this festive fun dance is guaranteed to get you in the Christmas party mood. We hope you enjoy it. Steven Shaw & Helen Blackburn
