Dance Information

After the passing of Tom Smothers, I named a dance Crabs Walk Sideways in his honor and for a favorite bit he and his brother did.

It was only logical that I write a companion dance Lobsters Walk Straight to go with it.

Suggested music is Milton's Welcome from Scottish Dance Favourites 3.
