and a one, and a two… Actually, we have been receiving numerous requests for the counts in the dance so that people can practice at home! So Cathleen has kindly provided us with a listing of counts that she put together herself to help her learn the dance and I’m posting it here. If it helps you, more power to you – some people need to SEE it.
