DELILAH

Choreographers: Alison Johnstone (Perth WA ex Scotland)

Prepared By: Alison Johnstone  16/08/2009

Music: "Delilah" Tom Jones (Greatest Hits CD also available from I tunes)

(As the main track is fast I have given a slower option for practice)

It will fit with lots of other waltz tracks as it is a standard 48 count dance.

Have fun choosing.

Description:  48 count, 4 wall beginner/intermediate dance

Start: On the lyrics

Finish: Dance finishes after lunge so simply recover on Left to front and stomp Right into Left

Choreographer note: As the dance is Viennese Waltz beat you will note that this is choreographed with a normal size step but then the wording "towards" on the drags and

not "into".  Take nice small steps on the basics.

Juliet requested I choreograph a dance to this track. Juliet helped with arranging he sets of 12 with me until we were both happy. It was choreographed on Juliet's husbands
