Choreographer's Note: Thank you to Mark Simpkin who asked me to create a dance to a

track from this beautiful album. Thank you also to Lynny Wong and to Pat Wilcock whose

help during the creation of this dance was greatly appreciated.

Thank you also to my wonderfully talented students who continue to believe in the

dances that I choreograph - you really make it all worthwhile. This waltz, should

prove quite an easy learn. I hope you can all "Catch The Wind". Noel
