GIGOLO (It's A Kitsch Thing)

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (WM '71) (February 22nd 2002) Fremantle, Australia
		email: williamsevone@yahoo.com.au
COUNT: Phrased
TYPE: 2 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Beginner/Intermediate
MUSIC: Gigolo by Colleen Hewett-120 bpm ('Colleen')

Part A 32 count-Part B 32 count (or straight 64 count see note below)
Dance Sequence:- AA, BB, AA, BB, A, BB-to count 20 (part B being the chorus)

Choreographers note:- It would be easier to say 'hands up those who don't
remember this song'. If by some remote chance you cannot find this music
ANYWHERE (try the bargain bin, 'kitsch' section of the record store or
the attic) you can still do the dance to most 64 count music as the dance
is only phrased for the chorus, just forget the part A and part B stuff
and dance it straight through. If you find that is how you prefer to do
the dance-go for it, I don't have a problem with that - just remember to
tell the other dancers though - could end up a bit messy. Dedicated to a
certain family member who proved that even after two bottles of
'champagne' she could still give full vocal range (and justice..missed
her calling, that girl) to this song...mind you that was back in....well
some time ago. A'hh... halcyon days of reckless youth and gay
abandonment...'eh wha', come again ??.

Dance starts two counts prior to vocals - after the initial intro you
will hear the drums, the dance starts 16 counts in from then. It sounds
tricky ?..not really..not when you hear the music.
