Written
for Juliet Lam from Texas USA who wishes to dedicate it to her
husband Steve on their 32nd wedding anniversary
on 26th June. Congratulations
and best wishes for a continuing happy life
together. I must say that the name of
the
song sounded ominous until Juliet explained that when they were first dating he
used to always say ‘When will I see you
again”. Wonder if he still says that!

Waltz
With You 48
counts, 2 walls, Easy Intermediate, 108 bpm, Song by
Teddy Thompson
I
wrote this dance as an easy alternative to Terry Hogan’s ‘All I Want’.
Although
easy, this dance still has a bit of a challenge about it and is not intended
as
a beginner dance. I have typed the lyrics of the song on the
step sheet so you can
sing
along as you dance.. Just sing ‘all I want to do is waltz with you’ instead of
singing ‘all I want to do is live with you’. It’s such a beautiful song!

Canadian Waltz 48 counts, 2 walls, VERY EASY,

lots more
people
out there…. Hope you enjoy them both!

This is a stunning piece of music by Westlife

dance….. and I know you will love the
fact
that there are no tags or restarts! Hope you enjoy it

A Nip Of Baileys SEE ON YOU TUBE youtube.com/watch?v=C-owUa_cShY
32 counts, 2 walls, Easy Intermediate, Song by David
King
An easier alternative to Maggies
dance Irish Spirit (aka Baileys)
I
love Maggies dance but unfortunately, there are lots of people out there
who just can’t
manage such a challenging dance. They’d
like to, I know,
because they love the
feel of the music, but their bodies won’t keep up
with their minds……. and
this dance is for those people. (I’m one of them!)
Hope it does the trick for you!
No offence to Maggie at all as I hold her in the highest esteem .
She’s incredible to watch, - a legend in her own time!

32 counts, 4 walls, Easy Intermediate, Song by Alan Jackson

change - funny about that…..or maybe not so funny! (-:

Toreador SEE ON YOU TUBE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srun2rYOv1Y
64 counts, 4 walls, 120 bpm, Intermediate, Song by Ricky Martin
First choreographed in 1995 for the Helensvale Competition where it
won the Open Duo event. It has been revised 13 years later for the
Macksville Competition in March 2008. Makes me feel very OLD when
I realize how many years have gone past, and believet me, the body
doesn’t take too kindly to being a ‘Toreador’ these days! (-:

A Time To Waltz 48 counts, 2 walls, 144 bpm, Easy Intermediate Song by Jim Croce
Written by request, to an old song from way back! The guy who

may well have done that by now…. Croaked I mean (-:
The
waltz is the opposite, alive and moving along! See what you think.

California Dreaming 32 counts, 2 walls, 112 bpm, Easy Intermediate Level, Song by The Beach Boys
When
I was in Disneyland last year I fell in love with a ride called 'Soaring Over
And
you couldn't keep me off it….. see you are never too old to be silly at
Anyhow,
the name of this song/dance reminds me of that ride and just like the ride,
this
dance
is easy to do with a couple of bits to keep you interested. It's really easy and
everyone should manage it without a problem.
