Choreographers Note:

I tested this on my class at the end of 2001 and got a very positive response to both

the song and the dance, and I was also pleased to note that most people 'got it' very

quickly, so it is obviously not too hard! The music is from New Day Dawning CD, and

is also available on my Compilation No. 10.
