Choreographers Note; I wrote this waltz to a song by David Ball for the choreography

competition which was held at the Black & White Ball, Gold Coast, July 1998. On the

cover of the CD David Ball is Standing under a massive mirror ball. You can see "I

Hope" why I had to call this dance "The Ballroom Waltz". And I sincerely hope you

have a Ball learning it.
