Big Spender

Hey Big Spender
Choreographers: Jo & John Kinser
Description: 32 count - 4 wall - Beg/int level line dance
Music: "Big Spender" by Dame Shirley Bassey

Dance matches the music well. I like this. Though it's not "the newest" or on the current "top ten" charts, that doesn't change the fact that it's a fun dance.
