kommenterer artiklen
Dirty Old Town er en 64/2 beginner linedance med et roligt og jævnt flow, der gør den let at lære, selvom den har en længere struktur. Dansen passer perfekt til den folk-inspirerede stemning i musikken.

Gary Lafferty fra Storbritannien er kendt for sine begyndervenlige danse, der alligevel har et musikalsk udtryk, som gør dem tiltalende for dansere på alle niveauer.

Dirty Old Town af Derina Harvey Band er en moderne fortolkning af den klassiske ballade. Med stærk vokal og et fyldigt arrangement bringer bandet nyt liv til den velkendte melodi, samtidig med at den bevarer sin autentiske folk-karakter.

Derina Harvey Band er en canadisk folk-rock gruppe, der er kendt for deres energiske liveoptrædener og for at kombinere traditionelle sange med moderne produktion og arrangementer.
