Well I’m in trouble with Facebook for posting videos where I’m playing copyrighted music. The first two I posted went through and FB muted the songs at the end. Now they won’t let me post any videos with music at all. SO what I’ll do is make more videos just of the lessons, and show a list of which songs the dances go to. It’s all I can figure out right now. Keep checking the Page! And thanks for watching!
