Dancing in the Dark Line Dance
Choreographed by Jo Thompson Szymanski, this is a 32 count, 2 wall, beginner/improver level line dance to ‘Smoke Rings in the Dark’ by Gary Allan. It’s a classic dance that has stood the test of time and is still enjoyed by line dancers today. It’s great for a ‘cool down’ at the end of a class or social night.
