EXODUS

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (October 13th 2003) email: williamsevone@yahoo.com.au
COUNT: 32
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Advanced Beginner
MUSIC: Exodus by Maksim-110 bpm (The Piano Player)

Choreographer's note: Some people have called the 'beefing up' of the Classics
as sacrilege... much in the same way as some people have castigated any form of
'New Country'. If it creates a whole new audience who may look further into the
genre of that music... then as far as I am concerned, carry on and 'roll over
Beethoven'. For the Bridge I was trying to think of something full of dramatic
movement... I then thought of 'a time for reflection'. This is not the first
time I have used a 'beefed up' Classic for a Line dance - I doubt it will be the last.

Special Note: This updated version (January 13th 2004) now includes 'clock positions'
for all the turns within the dance (elminating any confusion).

Dance starts after the 68 count (44 secs) intro - when the music starts proper.

BRIDGE: At the end of the 4th wall there is a very simple 12 count Bridge -
'A Time For Reflection'

	clasped to the front or behind back

DANCE FINISH: The dance will finish on count 24 of the 7th wall (facing 'home').
As the music will slow down dramatically I can only suggest and recommend that
the dancer who wishes to create a final flourish then they adopt the 'A Time For
Reflection' pose by stepping the left foot to the side of the right after count
24 and hold for around 24 counts raising their heads and stretching their arms
forward (palms upward) on the final four count crescendo.
