CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (March 8th 2004) email: williamsevone@yahoo.co.uk
TYPE: 1 Wall Line Dance
COUNT: 32
LEVEL: Beginner
MUSIC: I'm Walkin' by Fats Domino-110/220 bpm (Best Of ~' / many compilations)
	It's All Over Now by Rolling Stones-98/196 bpm
	My Dixie Darlin' by Carlene Carter-100/200 bpm

	Ruby, Dont Take Your Love To Town by Kenny Rogers-112/224 bpm

Choreographer's note: Even though this dance on the outside looks quite simplistic, it will make
the dancer become more aware to listen for the rhythm and tempo to allow it to be danced
correctly. For this reason I would suggest that the dance be learnt by those who are established
within the Beginner (new levels) stage. All the way through the dance there is a definate sound
similar to a snare drum or 'clap'. Use these sounds as a background to actual hanclaps with the
Toe Struts. The gait in between each toe strut is short - not a 'giant leap for mankind'.

Dance starts on the vocals with feet together and weight on left
