CHOREOGRAPHERS NOTE:

Although this  dance is only 48 counts, and 80bpm, the "&" counts make it more like 96

counts and 160 bpm....... so you won't die of boredom that's for sure.  I don't normally write

to non-country music but my  friend  Anne  Bradbury from Melbourne has been pestering

me to write to this song for a long time....... and I have finally succumbed. 

Actually, I have  always loved the  song and Chris Deburg's voice gives me goose bumps - or

perhaps it is just the feel of the beat . Not sure what it is,  but something really does it for

me..   Hope  YOU like it too.   See you on the floor sometime.....  Jan
