Six-Count Lead Changers

I realized that I've been collecting variations on 6-count lead changing moves, so I went though all of my notes, scraps of paper, choreography notebooks, videos, other people's videos, and anything else I could think of to compile this video. I came up with over 40 different moves, and managed to get 39 of them on tape. :-)


Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

Hi Everyone!

I know it's been a while since I posted a video. I have several routines lined up to video, including 2 intermediate and 2 advanced routines, plus a couple of special surprises! I've been sick for the past 2-3 weeks, and am at the final stages (I hope!) of the cough, so I to plan to get some more videos out soon!


Take care, and Keep on Stepping!

Dana
