Choreographer's Notes:
I would like to thank The BordererS for offering this commission to
me
and for having me in mind when they wrote the song. As with
the BordererS' CD "Inspired" there are
likely going to be lots of other
line dances done to the other songs on "A Time For Change".
NOT GOING
HOME is a line dance that can be easily simplified or added to with
variations. To simplify
the Monterey turns, make them side touches
without turns. Everything else is easy, just fast and fun.
