" On behalf of Expert Village I'm Nathan Bugh, and my talented student Shannon Sheroni. Were here at Dance Manhattan studios in New York City, to teach you Balboa and other swing era dances.

Step-step -hold, step-step-step hold, step-step-step hold, step-step-step hold, step-step-step hold, step-step-step hold."
