CHOREOGRAPHERS NOTE: Unusually for me, I choreographed this to another song before

changing to this one, which being a little faster, I think suits the easy steps

better. Nothing very difficult here, and even though there are a few turns which you can take out if necessary, I have kept the dance moving in one plane, and with the

repetitions, there aren't even a lot of steps to remember - and no tags or restarts - I really must be really getting mellow in my old age!! Ok, so there is

one little place toward the end of the song where the music dies for 5 beats - just keep counting and dancing at the same tempo and there should not be a problem. The beat comes back as a drum beat on count 5 and you should be able to hear the start of the next phrase easily when the rhythm kicks back in - if you can't, just stop there

it's pretty close to the end anyway.
