Choreographers Note; Desire was one of two dances that were put together several hours

before I was due to teach a workshop at the 3rd annual Black & White Ball held on the

Gold Coast. It was inspired by the song and the steps just seemed to happen. Loved the

music and had a hard time keeping the sequence free of more 3/4 turn and direction

changes.

My thanks to Marina for her patience that morning and in naming the dance.

Incidentally, the name of the other dance taught that day was Party Time. If you

haven't already done this fun dance, then keep an eye out for it
