The idea was to provide my Gentle Line Dance class with a dance they could do to the usual Midnight Waltz tune; incorporating a few of the steps, but without as many turns : this was the result :

1st section : TWINKLES x 2 (LEFT & RIGHT), WEAVE, STEP, DRAG,TOUCH.
1,2,3: Step L across R, step back R, step L next to R
4,5,6: Step R across L, step back L, step R next to L
7,8,9: Step L across R, step R to side, step L behind R
10,11,12: Long step with R to right side, slowly drag L to R, touch L next to R.
