Choreographer note:
This dance straddles across the Absolute Beginner and Beginner levels. I taught it to my Absolute Beginner class who have been dancing for a few months and they’ve done all of the steps in other dances (and a couple with tags / restarts) so they picked this dance up with no problem – but equally it might not be suitable for dancers who have only been dancing for a few weeks. I also taught it to my Beginner class who also loved it but they found it very much on the easy side compared to other dances they do. Either way, I hope that you have a suitable class who will love the music & dance as much as mine do!
