Samwise Gamgee wedding and hobbit outfit

When my husband and I were out exploring breweries one evening, he was mistook for Samwise Gamgee, or the actor Sean Austin.  So for the Renaissance festival this year I made Hobbit outfits. We danced to the live orchestra at the gates to the Renaissance festival as we went in. It was then that I thought it would be fun to write a hobbit dance how to

This is the Hobbit dance how to….

The rhythm is Quick, Quick, Slow, or 1&2,
