Copyright Cathy Roe Productions 1995. After decades of producing and selling my instructional dance videos, I am releasing them to the public to use for free. If you use my choreography, please just credit me or the other featured choreographers in your program or competition. I am happy to set these dances free to all, and to have my dances stay alive. They may "vintage', but hopefully still loads of fun for you and your dancers.
