<div>Linda Leslie wrote one of my favorite super easy fun dances for all ages:
Do Si Three. </div>

<div>When I looked for the link, I discovered that she has an entire website
with more easy dances she’s written: <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" title="http://www.lindalesliecaller.website/very-easy-dances.html" target="_blank" href="http://www.lindalesliecaller.website/very-easy-dances.html">http://www.lindalesliecaller.website/very-easy-dances.html</a></div>

<div>p.s. If someone brings a child under 3 or so I suggest they dance as one
person. The child usually gets tired and wants to be picked up 1/2 way through
the dance anyway, so it solves that problem before it happens. </div>
