CHOREOGRAPHERS NOTE:

I tried to compensate for the pace of this song by making the steps pretty easy,

(although I guess the turns might cause concern for some), but I don't believe the

dance is very hard because of the 'Step, Drags' which use 21 of the 48 counts so

there isn't a lot to remember!!!

Trying to find music that hasn't been used by a million other choreographers is very

hard these days so I am constantly looking back to songs that I have liked and never

used for one reason or another. This one has always been a favourite so I hope you

like it too - of course you can always use another waltz song if you don't.
