Back when disco was hot, this was one of my favorite songs. Oh Yeah I had it all going on, the platform shoes, the polyester designed shirts with the wide collar and of course the matching polyester pants ( lots of color ), I was a walking jewlery shop, and the hair ( THEN I did have the most beautiful hair ). Yeah baby I was a movin' to what was a groovin'. John Travolta didn't have nothin' on me. Oh about the dance yes I liked it.
Sorry 'bout the stroll down memory lane.

Later.........TBB-DTD..........Michael

Hi Amy,

So happened that I am watching your you-tube during my lunch time, my finance manager saw requested me to forward this dance to her, she wanted to join the beginner class, so I introduced her to my teacher, Alene Chang, I guess you know her also, she is conducting a beginner class just a few floors down from my office only.

Morning Amy,
Could you send me the music for your new latin dance.
Womanizer2 went over really well with the class. You’re definitely right sometimes just have to find something a little more than just the classic beginner stuff.

See ya Saturday.
