FEVER PITCH

		email: williamsevone@yahoo.com.au
COUNT: 32 + 2 Tags
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Advanced Beginner
MUSIC: Fever by Peggy Lee-137 bpm ('The Best Of The Capitol Years')
	Fever by Don Williams-120 bpm ('Borrowed Tales')
	Fever by Madonna-120 bpm (no Tag)

	Why Haven't I Heard From You by Reba McEntire-112 bpm (no Tag)

Choreographer's note: The album from which the music for this dance came from also
contains the whimiscle but very potent 'Manana' - the music for the Terry Hogan
dance "Simply Samba". I have four albums by Peggy Lee and I have to admit that I
never thought of putting any of the music to Line Dance use until I saw and danced
Terry's dance. When you listen to Peggy's voice you are listening to the High
Priestess of Chill Out music - decades before it became 'the' phrase to use.

Thanks must also go to my parents for installing in me a strong appreciation of all
forms of music (and dance). The dance itself is a little faster than what the
deceptive style of Peggy Lee's singing would suggest. The Dance notes - I know
there is a lot of them, but please follow them - they ARE an important part of the dance.
