VIDEOS FOR DANCING AT HOME

Here is an alphabetical list of the videos posted on my YouTube channel, with links for each dance. The videos are not fancy, but you can take your time, rewind as needed, even slow them down. Some are unlisted and can only be accessed via the individual link. They were originally accessible via a pdf which had other info about each dance as well. That pdf is still useable but not being updated.
