That Old Time Rock and Roll (Version 2)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqcSOSiAiOk
Some of my students learned this version elsewhere and shared it with the class and it caught on. But frankly it drives me nuts that anyone would write 36 beats of choreography to a perfectly phrased 32 beat song. I haven’t been able to find the Choreographer’s name and I highly suspect that someone messed up the original choreography and added 4 beats. Please email me if you know anything about this line dance.
