VIDEO #2 -Soul line dance "This Christmas"

 

Roland Ford, Dec 8, 2013

Soul line dance "This Christmas" created by Roland Ford.  This video was done at a Gospel Line Dance event sponsored by the Northside COGIC in Pittsburgh.  None of the participants are regular line dancers.  We just taught them the steps and they performed the dance.  We all enjoy Donny Hathaway's rendition of this song.  Hope everyone has a safe and Blessed Holiday and a prosperous 2014.
