This week's new dances - Directions and My Heart Belongs to You

Rosie Morrison's new dance Directions is a fun beg/int dance that is done to Billy Currington's 'Directions'. The dance is fun to do and the song is fun to listen to!




My Heart Belongs to You was done by Fred Buckley and is a fun little dance. It reminds me of the fun country dances we used to do in the 90s.
