CHOREOGRAPHERS NOTE:This is such a sweet and sour song. I'm sure we can all relate to the way in which kids muck up their
Words and Cystic Fibrosis certainly does sound like 65 roses phonetically. Unfortunately it is more
akin to the thorns on the rose than the velvety petals or the beautiful smell - as anyone who knows
anything about Cystic Fibrosis will attest.
Hope you enjoy this dance - and spare a thought for all those folk who are affected by '65 Roses'.
See you on the floor sometime... Jan
