DANCE:         32 counts, 2 walls, 96 bpm, Easy Int level. After initial vocals the

               disco beat kicks in, start dance after count 20.

This dance was written for Joy Murdoch from Balclutha New Zealand during my Oct. 2005

workshop tour. The music was of emotional importance for Joy and her husband Keith,

who has left the planet.

It was my great pleasure to write this dance for Joy after she

played the song and explained it's meaning to her.

I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who will

also relate to it.   Hope you enjoy the dance.

See you on the floor sometime…. Jan
