Some dances are meant to be performed individually or partnered while others can be executed in groups. Popular partnered dances include the Cuban Cha Cha Cha, the Brazilian Bossa Nova, 18th century Bavarian Waltz and the 50’s Rock and Roll. The Stomp, the Twist and the Handjive are individualistic dances a s is the Hucklebuck.

In this program our podcaster, Penn, takes centre stage and chooses songs they have some connection with. Many songs are associated with Penn growing up and family such as Father And Son, Cats In The Cradle and from his infancy Cradle Of Love. Penn tells stories of sadness and joy and yearning for a simpler time like Mary Hopkin in Those Were The Days.
