My friend Don Kruse recently found and shared a list of all of the moves and the order they go in. Everyone learns differently and I know that having a written list like this is helpful to me since I'm very much a visual learner. I hope it helps you too.
Feel free to print for your own use, and if you know Don tell him thanks and ask him for a dance. He's one heck of a dancer and a gentleman.

So I was thinking about this on the way home from the dance practice and I wanted to bounce this idea off of you and your readers. If we want to get the dance community in Tampa and Orlando to perform the Tranky Doo...should we stick to the middle variation of steps. I think that if we have some people doing the outside variation, and some people doing the middle variation...it might start looking sloppy when we get larger groups. Thoughts?
Makes sense. I hear rumblings of a lesson being set up at the Grotto. Maybe you could help teach?
A possibility...
