Choreographers Note: The first time I heard this song I knew that the music and the

beat would go round and round inside my head until I wrote something to it, and I was

right! Some songs are like that.

I hope you enjoy the dance. It is more difficult than the dances I usually write, but

I guess there are folk out there who will appreciate that!

The difference between an easy dance and a more difficult dance is really just

perseverance, keep at it and you will pick it up - its as simple as that. Good luck

with it.

Even if you don't like the dance, I hope you will enjoy the music - it's great and

it's country
