HEARTACHE SURVIVOR

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (August 14th 2001)
COUNT: 64
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Intermediate
MUSIC: It's A Heartache by Bonnie Tyler - with tag (64-64+tag-64-64+tag-64-40:finish)
	I'm A Survivor by Lacy J. Dalton - without tag (64-64-64-64-64-56:finish)

Choreographer's note: These two singers are contenders for the coveted 'Separated At Birth'  title. Listen to their voices on these songs - Sisters or what..even the songs sound similar,
even the bpm's are the same at 124. The 16 count could not have been avoided.

This dance is suitable for established Intermediate and above within the new levels.

Dance start's on word '...heartache' as in 'It's a heartache'.
