LOVE HURTS

CHOREOGRAPHER: William Sevone (WM '71) (July 20th 2002) Fremantle, Australia
		email: williamsevone@yahoo.com.au
COUNT: 32
TYPE: 2 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Advanced Beginner
MUSIC: Love Hurts by Everly Brothers-91 bpm ('Greatest Hits'/'Big Hits'/'The Definitive')
	Love Hurts by Lacy J. Dalton-96 bpm
	Love Hurts by Roy Orbison-83 bpm

Choreographer's note: I have deliberately kept this dance as simplistic as possible
to allow you to absorb the words of the song without having to concentrate too
heavily on the footwork. As an alternative piece of music I suggested the slightly
faster (96 bpm) version by Lacy J. Dalton and the slower (83 bpm) rendition by Roy
Orbison. Roy's version is so unpolitically correct - it works, all the '&' steps
are treated as a full count therefore turning the dance into a forty counter. On
Lacy's version the re are embellishments that throw the music slightly out of sync
but because of its short length is not too noticable.

See the notes at the bottom of the dance sheet regarding the dance finish to all the versions.
All versions start on the vocals (Everly's & Lacy's on the 16th count, Roy's on the
8th count) with feet together and weight on right
