CHOREOGRAPHER'S NOTE: DESIRE:- want very much, wish, longing; person or thing desired.

That's what the dictionary says. But what is it really, how do you explain that

feeling deep inside, the need to see or feel someone's presences, to have them in

your life. We all feel that for someone in our life, but do we tell that person or do

we do what the lady in the lyrics of the song does? I love this song so much always

have, the lyrics are so touching. I have wanted to choreograph a dance to this piece

for a long time but it had to do justice to the song. Hence a Rumba, one of the most

beautiful styles of dancing. This is a true rumba in everyway thanks to ballroom

Lessons. Dance it from the hips, dance it from the soul. ENJOY
