Notes
- This dance is an alternative version of Don Armstrong’s classic dance, “Broken Sixpence”. I love the opening triad of dosidos – a great set of moves that is not only fun to do, but is also very accessible to newcomers. I wrote this variant because I wanted a version where both the 1’s and the 2’s got to swing.
