Dance Around The Fire by Laurie Armstrong (USA) 32 Count 4 Wall
Improver Dance

- No tags, No restarts

Note: After I taught Around the Fire by Kate Sala, Chrystal Durand, Darren Bailey & Guillaume Richard to my intermediate dancers I wanted my beginners to be able to dance to this great track also. So, here’s what I came up with. I “borrowed” the first 1&2& steps from Around the Fire because they fit so well but that’s where the similarity ends. Hope you’ll give it a try.
