When 64 counts, 2 walls,Intermediate, 132 bpm Song by
The Three Degrees
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!

Blue Canadian Waltz 48 counts, 2 walls, VERY EASY, 128 bpm, Song by Sweethearts Of The Rodeo
I have written the dance for our

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

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!

To my ears anyhow, Alan Jackson has changed
his style of singing,
but fortunately it is still good! The older I get, the more things seem
change -
funny about that…..or maybe not so funny! (-:

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
believe me, the body
doesn’t take too kindly to being a ‘Toreador’ these
days! (-:
