PONY EXPRESS
Choreographer: Lana Harvey-Wilson

DESCRIPTION: A one-wall, intermediate/advanced line dance done in 56 beats of music.

MUSIC: "Victim Of Life's Circumstances" Track 5 on "Sweet Fire" CD by Michael Elvin Hunt

DEFINITION: Dig is like a heel stomp. No weight change but more force than a light touch with the heel. Many couples dancers here do the pony swing to fast music. I wanted to choreograph a line dance that included the pony step and could be danced to very fast music PONY EXPRESS can be done to all but the very fastest pony swing music (up to 100 BPM)
